to
Seafood Lasagna...

"Thar be vicious tales of hardship and woe by these

 SECRET:
The best mirepoix contains many things known and unknown...
what is known is : onions, bell pepper, carrots,
celery, garlic... then there are the secrets!

Just taking out the
booty from the
prior days work! |
 |
 |
reducing down the wine, clam juice, Armagnac |
Getting the sauce right...
I wanted a bisque-like sauce & NOT
a tomato based sauce.
SECRET:
add an 'extra' 4 cans
of crab and 1 can of 3 lb. plus
can of
clams in juice!
|
 |
 |
Clockwise from the top: Andouille sausage, crab meat,
Mirepoix, bacon, scallops, lobster tails and shrimp
(center)... all sautéed previously and the juices
retained for the sauce
|
The special 'mother-in-laws tongue noodles!
everything is ready
to go to assemble! |

SECRET:
"I stop at this point to mention that although some
folks feel that sailing
into an endless sea of cheese is heaven, I would argue
that too often an
abundance of cheese is used to hide a poorly conceived recipe... and
cheaper ingredients. Mozzarella is a fine cheese... but
to be used
sparingly to bind the lasagna.... and add a nice finish"

after the first of two layers!
SECRET:
what ye see is what ye get... be it real treasure!
|
everything covered with cheese and
a little dill! |
| |
|
I am sure
that you noticed a 'second' smaller Lasagna pan...
that goes to the Captain directly! |
