Lobster And Brie Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet, saute onions in 1 tablespoon butter until transparent. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in crabmeat and shrimp. Shred the cheese and mix half of it into the seafood. Place a large spoonful of the mixture into each tortilla. Roll the tortillas up around the mixture and arrange the rolled tortillas in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine half-and-half, sour cream, 1/4 cup butter, parsley and garlic salt. Stir until the mixture is lukewarm and blended. Pour sauce over the enchiladas, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Steps:

• For the pico de gallo: Mix jalapenos, tomatoes and onions in a bowl. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Chill for 30 minutes.
• For the roasted poblano sauce: Roast poblanos on a char-broiler until skin is black on all sides. Transfer to a pan and cover with plastic wrap for 15 minutes to further sweat the poblanos. Under running water, peel and clean poblanos and remove all seeds and stems.
• Saute onion in 2 ounces butter until it starts to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 2 to 3 more minutes. Add a cup of chicken stock to cool. Remove mixture to a blender and puree, then transfer to a saucepot. Add poblanos to blender in batches and puree, adding more chicken stock as needed to loosen, then combine with ingredients in the pot. Add cilantro, cumin, taco seasoning, salt and pepper to pot and bring to boil. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Make a roux by adding flour to remaining 1/2 cup butter in a saute pan and cooking slowly to a golden hue, about 10 minutes. Thicken sauce to desired thickness by adding roux to pot.
• For the enchiladas: Preheat oven to 420 degrees F.
• Cut lobster into medium bite-sized pieces and par-cook in white wine in a pan 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and divide into 3 portions. Cover a sizzle plate with 1 cup poblano sauce (save remainder for another use). Place corn tortillas on a hot grill or saute pan and warm about 10 seconds per side to soften, then remove. Form tortillas into 3 enchiladas with lobster and some shredded cheese. Place on sizzle plate and top with more cheese and 1/4 cup tomatoes. Bake, 5 minutes. Transfer enchiladas to a plate with a spatula, then push cooked sauce on top of enchiladas. Add a ramekin of pico de gallo on the side (save remainder for another use), a lemon wedge and a sprig of cilantro and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium saucepan over medium heat combine the first 9 ingredients (from butter to lemon juice) Cook until just melted and the herbs and spices are well incorporated.
• Set Aside.
• Lightly coat a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Fill evenly all of the tortillas with the lobster meat, brie, roasted peppers, green onions, shallots, basil and bacon.
• Tightly wrap and place in prepared baking dish.
• Drizzle on herbed butter, coating each enchilada well.
• Top with the grated Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes, until brie is melted and tortillas are golden.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat grill to high. Brush the cut side of the lobster with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the lobster on the grill, shell side down, and grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through. Remove the meat from the lobster and coarsely chop.
• Heat a tablespoon of oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic and cook until lightly toasted. Place 4 tortillas on a work surface and divide the half of the cheese, lobster, and garlic among the tortillas. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place another tortilla on top and then divide the remaining cheese, lobster, and garlic over top. Place the remaining tortillas on top to make 2-layer quesadillas. Brush tops of the tortillas with oil and then place the quesadillas on the grill, oiled side down. Grill until golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully flip the quesadillas over, close the cover of the grill, and grill until the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove from the grill, cut each quesadilla into quarters, and serve with the various toppings.
• Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Place ancho chiles in a medium bowl, cover with boiling water, and let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Remove from soaking liquid, coarsely chop, and place in a blender with the garlic, 1/4 to 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid, 2 to 3 tablespoons canola oil, and the pine nuts; blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a medium bowl.
• Preheat grill to high. Brush peppers with oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill and grill until charred on all sides. Remove, place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let steam 15 minutes. Remove skin and cut into julienne strips. Transfer the peppers to the bowl with the ancho puree and add the vinegar. Chop the cilantro, add it to the salsa, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Preheat grill to high. Brush serranos and green onions with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill until charred on all sides. Remove from the grill and finely chop.
• Place avocado in a medium bowl. Add the grilled serranos, green onions, lime juice, and 3 tablespoons oil and stir gently until combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

• Remove and serve two per person, covering each portion with plenty of sauce.
• TIP: To soften the tortillas, run them, one at a time, under running water.
• Shake off excess water, and then place in a hot non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
• In about 15 seconds, steam will begin to escape; flip the tortilla and heat the over side.
• Roll immediately.
• To soften in the microwave, wrap 5-10 tortillas in plastic bag, and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of water.
• Heat for up 45-60 seconds.

Steps:

• Place thawed lobster and fresh lime juice in medium bowl; toss to coat. Let stand 15 minutes, tossing lobster occasionally.
• Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add lobster pieces and any accumulated juices. Sauté until lobster shells turn bright orange, about 4 minutes. Using slotted spoon, return lobster to same bowl. Reduce heat to medium. Add chopped onion and chopped bell pepper to pot; sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic cloves, fresh parsley, and paprika and sauté 1 minute. Add diced tomatoes and tomato purée. Cook until juices thicken, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Add clam juice, dry Sherry, and bay leaf. Season to taste with salt. Add cayenne pepper. Bring mixture to boil, then add stone crab claws and reserved lobster with any accumulated juices. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until lobster meat is cooked through and tender, about 10 minutes.
