what's better than a day off? how about a day off where the mc61 comes back from the 206 zone and brings me a few early birthday treats. and they're from one of my favorite places, milagros. i mean that's a pretty darn gouda day off!
... a few weeks ago i was stuck sitting on a train at the station in the 206 zone, blowing through every magazine i brought with me. i spied a left over issue of coastal living. albeit not a magazine i would purchase, when free why not flip through. i found a few interesting recipes like lobster mac n' cheese and crab pot pie. crab pot pie in tiny individual le creuset pots. OMG!
funny that the unicornist would tell me see spied some little gems that i might want. they are perfect! i think the white ones would be great for some mac n cheese with or without lobster, or a little au gratin. now, onto the little orange covered pots. even though they aren't le creuset they certainly look like it!
i have been thinking about this recipe a lot and i gotta make it soon!!
crab pot pie:
2 tblsps plus 1/2 cup unsalted butter.
3 cups chopped leeks
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped carrots
1/4 cup all-purp flour
2 cups peeled, diced russet potatoes
1 cup frozen peas
1 lb crabmeat
1 pkg pie crusts
1 large egg, beaten
2 (8 oz) bottles clam juice
2 tsp lemon zest
1 1/2 tsp seafood seasoning
salt and ground red pepper
30 min prep and cook 1 hour. basically melt the butter add leeks, celery, carrots cooking for 5 min. stir in the flour (1 min). add potatoes then add the juice, zest, seasoning, salt n' red pepper reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 min. potatoes tender.
