Add the wine and scrape up the brown bits with a wooden spoon. Add the tomatoes with their juices, stock, garlic, and saffron to the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Add the shrimp, fish, and mussels, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow the pot to sit covered for another 5 minutes. The fish and shrimp should be cooked and the mussels opened. Discard any mussels that don't open. Stir in the Pernod, orange zest, and salt, to taste. Serve ladled over 1 or 2 slices of toasted baguette.;
  • Warm the oil in the pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp shells, onions, carrots, and celery over medium heat for 15 minutes, until lightly browned. Add the garlic and cook 2 more minutes. Add 1 1¿2 quarts of water, the white wine, tomato paste, salt, pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour. Strain through a sieve, pressing the solids. You should have approximately 1 quart of stock. If not, you can make up the difference with water or white wine.

RUSS'S VEGETABLE MELANGE



Russ's Vegetable Melange image

My husband Russ has been making this lately when we have odd veg in the fridge. I think he's almost got it right as his one was great. We actually planned to make coleslaw, but the weather turned cold and we had to re-think dinner. This was great with roast chicken. The last time he made this, he used leek instead of onion. Feel free to vary the veg.

Eula Mae's Seafood Gumbo image

Categories     Soup/Stew     Rice     Shellfish     Vegetable     Mardi Gras     Crab     Oyster     Shrimp     Spice     Simmer

Yield Makes 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup peanut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions
1 cup chopped green bell peppers
1 cup chopped celery
3 garlic cloves (peeled)
5 cups shrimp stock or water (or more as needed)
2 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Tabasco pepper sauce
1 teaspoon salt
1 pound medium-size shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 pound lump crabmeat, picked over for shells and cartilage
2 dozen freshly shucked oysters with the liquor
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
3 tablespoons chopped green onions (green and white parts)
Filé powder

Steps:

  • Combine the oil and flour in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Stirring slowly and constantly, make a medium-brown roux the color of peanut butter. This will take about 30 minutes.
  • Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are wilted and lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the celery and garlic cloves. Cook, stirring, for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the shrimp stock or water, bay leaves, thyme, and salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp and crabmeat and simmer until the shrimp turn pink, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the oysters and their liquor and simmer until the edges of the oysters curl, about 3 minutes. Remove and discard the bay leaves and thyme. Garnish with the parsley and green onions. Serve the gumbo over rice. Additional Tabasco and filé powder can be passed at the table to allow each guest to season according to taste.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Choose Fresh Seafood: The fresher the seafood, the better your dish will taste. If possible, buy seafood that was caught or harvested within the past 24 hours.
  • Use a Variety of Seafood: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of seafood in your dishes. This will add flavor and texture to your meals.
  • Don't Overcook Seafood: Seafood is delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky. Overcooked seafood will be tough and dry.
  • Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: There are many different ways to cook seafood. Try grilling, baking, pan-frying, sautéing, or steaming to find the method that you like best.
  • Season Seafood Simply: Seafood has a delicate flavor, so it doesn't need a lot of seasoning. A simple squeeze of lemon juice, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, or a drizzle of olive oil is all you need.
  • Serve Seafood Immediately: Seafood is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to preserve its flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Seafood is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. With its wide variety of flavors and textures, seafood can be used to create a wide range of dishes, from simple grilled fish to complex seafood stews. By following the tips above, you can cook seafood like a pro and enjoy delicious, healthy meals that the whole family will love.
