VELOUTE (USED FOR "LOBSTER ENCHILADAS W/WHITE WINE SAUCE")
This sauce, used to prepare numerous white sauces, has a name that translates from French as "velvety, soft, and smooth to the palette". A truly excellent veloute should meet several criteria. The flavor of a veloute should reflect the stock used in its preparation: white veal, which will be nearly neutral in flavor: chicken: or fish. It is thickened with an appropriate amount of roux.

SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS
These crab and shrimp stuffed enchiladas taste like the ones served at a popular Mexican restaurant in my area. My husband just loves them. After sprinkling the cheese over the enchiladas before baking, you can also garnish with tomatoes, cilantro, olive slices, or whatever other garnish you enjoy.
