Categories     main-dish

Time 2h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 30

1 cup grated Parmesan
1 cup all-purpose flour
6 (4-ounce) blackfish fillets, skin on
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Sea salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Silver Queen Corn Pudding, recipe follows
Saute of Crab and Baby Corn, recipe follows
Silver Queen Foam, recipe follows
6 teaspoons Louisiana caviar, for garnish
1 teaspoon minced fresh chives, for garnish
1 teaspoon fresh chive blossoms, for garnish
6 small sprigs fresh dill, for garnish
6 small sprigs fresh chervil, for garnish
1 quart heavy cream
1 pound Silver Queen corn kernels
Kosher salt
Cayenne pepper
10 eggs
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 pounds jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over
6 ears fresh baby corn, blanched and sliced into rounds
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Hot pepper sauce
Sea salt
2 stalks lemongrass
2 cups fish stock or fumet
1 cup Silver Queen corn kernels
Sea salt
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese and flour. Lightly score the skin side of the fillets several times to form a cross hatch pattern without cutting into the flesh of the fish. Season the portions of the blackfish with salt and a touch of lemon juice. Dredge the seasoned fish into the Parmesan/flour mixture.
  • In a large heavy skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add fillets, skin side down. Cook until skin is crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip fish and cook until fish is just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the pan and place on absorbent towels to rest in a warm place for a moment, while the plate is being composed.
  • To serve, remove the Silver Queen Corn Pudding from molds and place into large, shallow bowls. Over the warm pudding, place a portion of fish. Over the fish, spoon on the Saute of Crab and Baby Corn. Carefully pour a small ladle of Silver Queen Foam around the fish. With 2 demitasse spoons, form the caviar into quenelle or egg shapes and place over the fish next to the bed of corn and crab. Lightly garnish the fish with chives, chive blossoms, dill and chervil.
  • Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
  • In a 4 quart saucepan, bring cream and corn to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until corn is tender, about 5 minutes. Pour mixture into a blender and blend until smooth, season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper. Strain the mixture through a fine strainer into a bowl.
  • In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs. Slowly pour the hot corn mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly to avoid curdling the eggs. Pour the custard into individual custard cups or molds, preferably nonstick. Place the molds in a roasting pan and pour hot water in the pan to come halfway up the sides of the mold. Bake until custards are just set, about 20 minutes.
  • In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add crab and corn, cook, stirring, until mixture is just heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, remove from heat and season with hot pepper sauce and salt.
  • Cut lemongrass into 2-inch pieces and bruise with the back of a knife. Place lemongrass in a piece of cheesecloth and tie closed.
  • Combine lemongrass, stock and corn in a saucepan. Gently bring to a boil, simmer 15 minutes, remove from heat and let steep 15 minutes. Remove cheesecloth, puree mixture in blender, and pour through a fine strainer, pressing on the solids to extract as much flavor as possible.
  • When ready to use, bring the broth to a boil, season to taste with salt, whisk in butter and froth with a hand-held immersion blender.

LOUISIANA - PIG ROAST



Louisiana - Pig Roast image

The art of roasting a pig (whole or part) differs widely.Well seasoned and juicy it disappeared as fast as I could slice it! You don't need a whole pig to enjoy this dish, just buy a fresh picnic, regular fresh ham, or, a boston butt roast. Roasting can be done on the pit or even in the oven given the size of the roast! I know most of you won't roast a whole pig so I'll write this recipe for application to roasts.You will have to prepare the meat the day before you cook it. Allow at least 8 hours to marinate and 4 hours to cook for a 5 lb. roast (bigger = longer, 45 minutes per pound on average)The most important things are seasoning and juiciness as pork is, by nature, a dry meat. Pork is dry because the meat itself has little or no fat in it, it's mostly just surrounded by fat.

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup melted butter or 1/4 cup margarine
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon garlic juice (your choice)
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic (not powder)
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
prepared mustard (the yellow stuff in a jar)

Steps:

  • Prepare the meat:.
  • Trim the roast leaving just a little fat on it.
  • Prepare the meat:.
  • Mix all the ingredients above except the Mustard. Bring mixture to a boil then let cool stirring every few minutes to release the seasonings.
  • Draw mixture into an injector and inject the roast putting the needle as close to the center of each muscle as you can (doesn't have to be perfect). Rub the outside of the roast with mustard then sprinkle a little Old Bay seasoning all over it.
  • Put the roast in a zipper lock bag or in a covered bowl. Put it in the fridge overnight (at least 8 hours).
  • Light the pit and get a nice hot fire going. Add a bunch of soaked hardwood chips to the fire. Put the roast right over the fire. Let the roast get dark brown all over. Take it off the fire and put it in a covered pan. Use a disposable aluminum pan if you're going to finish it on the pit.
  • Note: You have a choice here, you can finish it on the pit, or, in the oven. What's nice about this is that you can take care of the browning, remove it, and continue to barbecue other things.
  • In the oven, set the roast in a pan and broil it until the browning completes.
  • Now, here's the juiciness trick. Add about 3/4 cup of water to the pan, or, keep enough water in the pan to cover the bottom. Cover it well with aluminum foil and, on the pit, set it off to the side away from the fire. Note: The heat should be at least 275ºF in this section of the pit. Check the water content every half hour and flip the roast each time. In the oven set the temp to 275ºF and do the same.
  • When is it done? Use a meat thermometer and test the thickest part of the roast, 160ºF is where you want it. Here's where you have a choice. You can take it out and slice it now, or, continue to let it cook. If you continue to let it cook the muscle sections will begin to pull away from each other, and become more and more stringy. It is more apt to be dry so you must baste it from here on out. If it gets too dry you won't get the moisture back in the meat immediately, you'll only have dry meat in a sauce.
  • As you slice it dredge it in the liquid, or just leave it in the liquid. Taste the liquid to see if it needs any seasoning.
  • After the first few taste testers visit be careful with the knife so you don't wind up with additional finger food.
