Crab-Stuffed Flounder with Mornay Sauce and Green Beans Almondine image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

Salt and pepper
1 1/2 pounds fresh green beans, trimmed
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
2 tablespoons butter
1 large shallot, minced
2 cloves garlic
1 stalk celery, minced
1/3 cup dry vermouth
A few dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh crabmeat
Salt and pepper
4 flounder fillets, skin off
4 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • For the green beans almondine: Place a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil. Working in batches (to avoid crowding the pot and slowing the return a boil), cook the green beans for about 3 minutes, or until al dente. With a slotted spoon or tongs, transfer the green beans directly to an ice-filled bowl and shock to stop cooking. Drain well.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming and beginning to smell nutty. Add the blanched green beans and toss to coat. Add the toasted almonds and season with salt and pepper.
  • For the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon to make a roux--it should look like wet sand. Cook, stirring, for a couple minutes and then whisk in milk. Bring to a simmer, stirring and scraping the bottom and scorners of the pan, and cook for a few minutes. Season with some salt, pepper and nutmeg. Remove from the heat and add the Gruyere, stirring until fully melted and combined.
  • For the crab-stuffed flounder: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, garlic and celery; cook until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • Deglaze the pan with the vermouth and hot sauce to taste, and let cook for another minute. Pour the vegetables into a medium bowl and add the breadcrumbs, thyme and Old Bay; mix to combine. Gently fold in the crabmeat. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Rinse and pat dry the flounder fillets and lay on a baking sheet. Spread the stuffing along half of each fillet and fold over to enclose. Dot evenly with butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes
  • Set the stuffed flounder on serving plates and top with Mornay sauce. Serve with the green beans on the side.

TO DIE FOR CRAB MORNAY



To Die For Crab Mornay image

This is the real deal - the same recipe that you get in the best New Orleans seafood restaurants and includes a couple of secret ingredients that you don't normally find in other recipes. Beware! This is a decadent mixture of Gulf crab meat and cheese blended in a sweet cream sauce with a kiss of heat. Crab Mornay is...

Provided by Donna Graffagnino

Categories     Other Side Dishes

Time 15h30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 c butter, unsalted
1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp all purpose flour
1 pt half & half
2-3 drops liquid crab boil
1/3 c parsley, chopped fine
1/2 lb swiss cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp sherry
1 tsp granulated garlic or powder
salt, & white pepper
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 lb crab meat, special claw, claw or lump, drained and picked through and shells removed - please do not use immitation

Steps:

  • 1. On medium heat melt butter in large skillet then add green onions and sauté until tender.
  • 2. Add flour and stir well to remove lumps. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for about 3-4 minutes. You don't want to brown the flour but cook out the raw flour taste.
  • 3. Add the half & half, liquid crab boil and cheese and let it melt down into the mixture, stirring often. You only want this to come to a simmer; DO NOT LET IT BOIL or the cheese may separate and get grainy.
  • 4. When heated through add the parsley, sherry and granulated garlic, stir well and fold in crab meat. Heat through and be careful not to break up crab meat. Add salt & cayenne pepper to taste.
  • 5. Serve in a chafing dish or small crock pot with garlic parmesan panetini toast or melba toast.
  • 6. *Note: I use the special lump crab meat, which comes from the claw. It doesn't break down as easily as the white lump but still has an amazing crab flavor and texture. You can also use 1 pound of lump crab meat but it will break down very easily. Pick through for shells and cartilage and make sure to drain ALL of the liquid from the crab meat.
  • 7. If serving in individual ramekins, you can top crab mixture with additional Swiss cheese if desired and place under broiler for about 2 minutes before serving. Goes great with steak.

CRAB AND CHILE RAVIOLI WITH MORNAY SAUCE



Crab and Chile Ravioli with Mornay Sauce image

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 jalapeno, seeded, finely diced
1 Fresno chile, seeded, finely diced
1 large shallot, finely diced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 to 4 cloves garlic, grated or minced
1/4 to 1/2 cup sherry or dry vermouth
8 ounces lump crabmeat, picked through for shells
1/2 cup combined chopped fresh chives, oregano, parsley and thyme, some reserved for garnish
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
Freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup grated Gruyere
4 sheets fresh pasta, cut into 12- to 14-inch pieces, covered with a clean dish towel until ready to use
Semolina, for dusting
Zest of 1 lemon, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the crab and chile filling: Heat the butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the jalapeno, Fresno chile and shallots; season with salt and pepper. Let sweat for about 5 to 7 minutes, adding the garlic during the last couple minutes. Raise the heat to medium, add the sherry (to deglaze the pan) and let bubble until almost evaporated. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Add the crab, herbs and chile-shallot mixture to a medium bowl. Season generously with salt and pepper; set aside.
  • For the Mornay sauce: Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Sprinkle in the flour and mix with a wooden spoon for a few minutes to make a roux (it should look like wet sand). Whisk in the milk, making sure to scrape the corners of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook for a few minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper, and then remove from the heat. Add the Gruyere and stir until fully melted and combined. Add about a 1/4 cup of the Mornay sauce to the crab mixture to bind.
  • For the ravioli: Place a sheet of pasta on a work surface. Fold it in half the wide/long way to make a slight crease down the middle, then lay back out flat. Place 1 to 2 tablespoon-size dollops of the crab mixture every few inches on one half of the pasta sheet. Brush a little water on the border of the pasta sheet and around each ravioli. Fold the top half of pasta sheet over to cover the filling, squeezing out as much air as possible (so they don't pop open in the water). Use a knife, pasta roller or ring cutter to cut out the ravioli. Dust with semolina and reserve on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets and crab mixture.
  • Bring a wide shallow pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Warm the remaining Mornay sauce in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Use pasta water to thin to the desired consistency as needed.
  • Cook the ravioli in the boiling water, in batches if necessary, until they float to the top, a few minutes. Transfer the ravioli straight into the skillet with the Mornay sauce and toss gently to coat. Place 3 to 5 ravioli on a plate and spoon a little more Mornay sauce on top. Garnish with the chopped herbs and lemon zest.
