From the shores of Montauk, New York, a beautiful village at the eastern end of Long Island, a delicious recipe for Crab Pappardelle. Shared by Ron Rosselli, the culinary director for The Surf Lodge, it features jumbo-lump crab meat in a bed of pappardelle pasta, with garlic, scallions, fresh mint, Fresno chili and clam juice.

Its restaurant provides an open-air setting serving up a variety of seafood fresh off the fishing boats in Montauk Harbor. Produce comes from local farms. Restaurant at The Surf Lodge. Chef Rosselli brings a wealth of culinary expertise to the table, having worked at Café Boulud, Locanda Verde, and The Standard Grill.

Yield -

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon Fresno chili, thinly sliced (about 1 pepper)
1-1/2 cups clam juice
1 pound pappardelle, dried
12 ounces (about 2 cups) jumbo lump crab meat
1/4 cup fresh mint, chopped
1 bunch scallion tops (green) and bottoms (white), chopped
As desired fresh lemon juice
As desired for topping toasted breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • 1 Put a large pot of salted water on the oven and bring to a boil. 2 Heat a large sauce pot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil and butter, then stir to combine. 3 Add sliced garlic, Fresno and scallion bottoms (whites) and stir together to combine; reduce heat to low. 4 Add salt and continue cooking until garlic and scallions become translucent and everything becomes soft. Don't allow the garlic to take color. 5 Add 1 cup of clam juice to the pan and bring to a boil; remove from heat. The clam juice should not reduce or you'll end up with salty pasta. 6 At this point, start cooking pasta until it's al dente, roughly 7-8 minutes. Drain very well. Add to sauce. Reserve pasta water. 7 Return pan back to low heat and add crab meat and lightly toss, so crab meat begins to warm through. Begin to stir well so sauce begins adhering to the pasta. If pasta looks dry, add some of the remaining clam juice. 8 Finish pasta with fresh lemon juice, half the chopped mint and scallions tops (greens) and stir to combine. 9 Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl. Top with some of the remaining mint, scallion tops and toasted breadcrumbs.

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound large sea scallops, patted dry
1 pound pappardelle pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon sea salt, plus 1/2 teaspoon
2 cups mixed chanterelle, oyster, trumpet, mushrooms, thinly sliced
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for serving
3 cups arugula
2 tablespoons white truffle oil
2 ounces best quality Parmesan, shaved

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of salt.
  • Rinse and pat dry the scallops. Slice in half on equator and pat dry again. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt and set aside.
  • Prep all of your ingredients and have them at ready, then start pasta. Cook the pasta approximately 8 minutes. If the pasta is done before prepping all the ingredients, add 3 cups cold water into pot to hold. (Water will still be hot, but will arrest cooking.) Drain when ready to use.
  • In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. When the butter has melted, add the scallops, cook for 1 to 2 minutes and turn over. When scallops are just cooked, remove from heat and set aside, keeping them warm. Let the juices in pan reduce for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Toss to combine. Add in the reserved scallops and half of the truffle oil. Add in the drained cooked pasta, then the arugula and gently toss or stir to combine. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with remaining truffle oil, the shaved cheese and some freshly cracked black pepper.

COLOSSAL CRAB ASPARAGUS BISQUE



Colossal Crab Asparagus Bisque image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h25m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 quarts chicken stock
2 bay leaves
3 pounds asparagus, cut into 1-inch lengths (tough ends removed and discarded)
8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter
4 white onions, chopped
5 stalks celery, chopped
3 carrots, peeled and chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (approximately, or as needed to create roux)
1 pint heavy cream
1 pound colossal crabmeat
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 teaspoons freshly chopped thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, juiced plus 1 or 2 lemons cut in wedges, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring stock and bay leaves to a boil in a large pot. Cook asparagus until tender and add to stock pot. Melt butter in a separate saucepan and gently saute onions, celery, and carrots (mirepoix) until tender, then gradually add flour (with a non-reactive utensil such as a wooden spoon), and cook until similar to a roux. Transfer to the pot of stock to thicken soup. Let simmer for 45 minutes. Remove bay leaves from soup. *Blend to a puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a blender or food processor. Add cream to the soup, and keep warm over low heat.
  • For the crab "souffle," mix crab, mayonnaise, thyme, salt and pepper, and squeeze of fresh lemon juice, trying to avoid breaking up the lumps of crabmeat. Place a scoop of the crabmeat in the center of soup bowl and ladle the asparagus soup around. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
  • *When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.
