3/4 cup sliced large asparagus spears (cut on the bias, 14-inch thick)
One 10-ounce ball white or whole-wheat pizza dough
3/4 cup Cajun Alfredo Sauce, recipe follows
3/4 cup fresh crabmeat, drained and well picked for shells
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons diced roasted red bell 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.

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

20 thin slices sandwich bread, crusts removed
¾ pound butter
4 ounces blue cheese, at room temperature
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
1 egg, beaten
20 fresh asparagus spears

Steps:

  • Trim crusts from bread, and flatten slightly with a rolling pin.
  • In a bowl, stir blue and cream cheeses together with the egg until well blended and creamy. Spread a thin layer of cheese mixture over each slice of bread. Roll one asparagus spear inside each, and fasten with a toothpick.
  • Melt butter in a small saucepan. Roll each asparagus wrap in butter to coat. Place on a baking sheet small enough to fit into the freezer, and freeze for one hour, or until butter hardens and wraps are somewhat firm. Remove pan from freezer, discard toothpicks, and cut each wrap in half crosswise. Store in a resealable plastic bag in the freezer until ready to use.
  • To serve, preheat oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C).
  • Arrange frozen asparagus wraps on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Check occasionally, and turn if necessary, for even browning and to prevent burning. Enjoy!
