Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (1 to 1 1/4 pound) lobster
Seafood Stuffing, recipe follows
1 ounce fresh crabmeat
1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon butter
3 ounces chopped haddock
2 scallops, quartered
6 to 8 whole Maine shrimp
1 ounce lobster meat
1 cup crackers, crumbled (recommended: Ritz)
Lemon juice, for seasoning
White wine, for seasoning
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place a little water in a large pot and bring to a boil.
  • Cut open the lobster by inserting your knife just underneath the head and the cutting down, splitting the belly (body and tail). Remove the "inners" (heart, guts, etc., but not meat). Steam the lobster for 7 to 10 minutes and then remove from the pot.
  • Stuff the Seafood Stuffing in the lobster's opening and top with the crabmeat.
  • Place the stuffed lobster, belly-side-up in a roasting pan. Add the lemon juice and a little water to the bottom of the pan to keep the lobster moist while cooking. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes, or just until the claws begin to split. Do not allow the lobster to dry out.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and then add all the seafood and saute until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Mix in the crackers, and add lemon juice, wine, and salt and pepper, to taste.

SQUID STUFFED WITH LOBSTER



Squid Stuffed with Lobster image

Fred worked at Toqué! in the early 1990s, and one of his many tasks was cleaning squid. Every so often, the Anglophone sous chef would order from the Quebecois fishmonger at La Mer, and one day "15 pounds" of squid was heard as "50 pounds." That week Fred cleaned 150 pounds of squid. He couldn't smell squid for about ten years without feeling sick, but he's back on the squid train now. The only way he can bear it, though, is filled with lobster and cooked in lobster juice.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 small live lobster, about 1 1/4 pounds (570 g)
1/3 cup (40 g) alphabet pasta
3 tablespoons tomato sauce
2 tablespoons Hellmann's or Best Foods mayonnaise
Few dashes of Tabasco sauce
Dash of Pernod or ouzo
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
Olive oil for sautéing and dressing
1 1/2 cups (375 ml) water
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 squid, head and body 6 to 7 inches (15 to 18 cm) long (if smaller, use 8 squid), cleaned (see sidebar)
3 tablespoons escargot butter (see Whelks with Escargot Butter, page 131)
2 tablespoons dried bread crumbs
4 handfuls cress or arugula

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the lobster, and cook for 5 minutes. Pull the lobster out of the pot, discard the water, and chill the lobster.
  • Shell the lobster, keeping as much meat as possible. Dice the meat into 1/4-inch (6-mm) cubes, and keep the shells. Set both aside.
  • Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the pasta, and boil for about 4 minutes, or until shy of al dente. Drain and transfer to a decent-size bowl.
  • Add the lobster meat, tomato sauce, mayo, Tabasco, Pernod, and parsley to the pasta and stir to mix. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Crush the lobster shells into 1-inch pieces. In a sauté pan, sauté the shells in a film of olive oil over medium-high heat until the lobster water is gone from the shells. Add the water and unsalted butter and simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes. Don't let it become dry, but almost dry. You should have about 1/2 cup (125 ml) liquid. Strain the liquid and set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Stuff the pasta mixture into the squid tubes, and seal the open end of each tube with a couple of nonmentholated toothpicks. Just stick them right across the opening, pinching the tentacles into the opening. Lay the stuffed beauties side by side in a baking dish or baking pan. It should be a snug fit so the pan is less likely to dry out. Pour the strained lobster juice over them, then top with a few pats of escargot butter and the bread crumbs.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove the toothpicks and serve with a handful of olive oil-dressed cress (greens) on each plate.
  • Wear gloves; many people have contact allergies to squid. Clean the squid in the sink under cold running water.
  • Rip off the head. It's the part from which the legs hang down.
  • Pinch away the beak. It's on the center, nestled among the legs.
  • Slide out the blades. There are two of them, plasticlike, along the inside of the tube.
  • Peel off the dark skin.
  • Rinse the squid well, inside and out, to eliminate all traces of mucus and sand.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, finely minced
8 to 10 whole squid (about 3 to 5 inches each)
2 ounces raw shrimp
1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs
2 tablespoons finely chopped tomato
2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups prepared tomato or spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onions and salt and sweat until the onions turn translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Do not brown. Add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute. Transfer the mixture to a medium mixing bowl and set aside to cool.
  • Clean the squid thoroughly and remove the heads from the tentacles and discard the heads. Turn the tubes inside out (since the outside skin tends to curl outward, it'll hold the stuffing better inside out), put into a bowl and set in the refrigerator until ready to use. Place the tentacles and the shrimp into the bowl of a food processor and pulse 6 to 8 times or until there are no large pieces visible. Do not process until smooth. Transfer to the mixing bowl along with the onions and garlic. Add the bread crumbs, tomato, lemon zest, ginger, parsley and pepper. Stir to combine well.
  • Place the mixture into a resealable freezer bag and snip 1 corner. You may use a pastry bag with a tip just small enough to fit into the end of the tubes. Pipe the stuffing into the tubes, dividing the mixture evenly between them. Do not over-stuff.
  • Place the tubes into an 8 by 11-inch glass baking dish and cover with the tomato sauce. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Serve immediately.

Squid (or calamari, its Italian name) can be prepared in a variety of ways - fried, braised, grilled and roasted - and all are good.

Categories     dinner, lunch, finger foods, main course

Time 1h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

12 ounces chard or spinach, chopped, about 6 cups
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, finely diced, about 1 1/2 cups
2 medium fennel bulbs, finely diced, about 1 1/2 cups
Salt and pepper
3 tablespoons chopped fennel fronds
2 teaspoons ground fennel seed
4 anchovy fillets, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Pinch of crushed red pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 tablespoon lemon zest
3/4 cup homemade dry bread crumbs
2 ounces grated pecorino cheese, about 1/4 cup
1 1/2 pounds cleaned medium squid, with tentacles
2 tablespoons chopped parsley, for garnish
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Blanch the chard in boiling water for 1 minute, then drain and cool under running water. Squeeze chard completely dry and finely chop. Set aside.
  • Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet or wide saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and fennel, season with salt and pepper, and cook until softened and lightly colored, about 10 minutes.
  • Add fennel fronds, fennel seed, anchovy, garlic, oregano and red pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes more.
  • Turn off heat and transfer mixture to a mixing bowl. Add pine nuts, lemon zest, bread crumbs, cheese and reserved cooked chard. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Taste and correct seasoning.
  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Using a teaspoon, put some filling in each squid body, taking care not to overstuff. Place stuffed squid in an earthenware baking dish in one layer. Season squid on both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season tentacles with salt and pepper and arrange them around the edge of dish (alternatively, arrange tentacles in a separate baking dish). Drizzle tentacles lightly with oil. Spoon any remaining stuffing over tentacles.
  • Roast uncovered for 15 to 20 minutes, until squid bodies are puffed, sizzling and lightly browned. If desired, run pan under the broiler for more color. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with lemon wedges. (May also be served at room temperature.) Serve each person 3 or 4 squid, with tentacles.
