@Shelby  I would really, really, like some of those berries.  We are still at least a month away.

Oh they are so good.  SO much better than I can get at the store.  I'm very lucky that she gives me some of hers.  That's why I try to keep her in fresh caught fish and ducks and geese.

Okay.    So I had some leftover Dungeness crab meat (I know, how can you have some leftover Dungeness crab meat??) but I did.  It was going to spoil soon.  I remembered in my freezer I had some shrimp, that I would never use unless it was a soup or sauced dish.    So.....looking into the pantry and fridge, I saw ingredients that would make one of my favorite restaurant dishes as a kid.  I am not sure how wide spread "Chi Chis" was, but their seafood enchiladas (called "Cancun") was absolutely one of my all time favorite dishes as a kid.  Sure, Rick Bayless and other great Mexican chefs may not be impressed, but I recreated this dish tonight.

 

Dungeness crab and shrimp in a sherry/cream/lobster sauce wrapped in enchiladas.     May not be Mexican or even Tex Mex, but it is outstanding.  Especially unlike Chi Chis, I am using real crab and real shrimp or lobster.

 

Enjoy.

I've been meaning to tell you ever since I saw your post that every time we went to Chi Chi's this is what I ordered too!!!  Came sizzling on that very hot plate along with rice and refried beans.  Heavenly.  I'm sure that yours were even more delicious using the real stuff :)

Looks fabulous, @Ann_T. Recipe please?

 

@TdeV, not sure which recipe you wanted.  If it is the Leek Spinach Tart I found the recipe here:

 

Leek, Spinach and Feta Tart

 

The only thing I did different was to add some roasted red peppers and to use homemade pastry.

 

The pastry recipe is on this blog post:

 

First Rhubarb Pie of the Season

What I've been eating:

A small but very thick piece of liver

I ask the fishmonger to save all the roe for me (he even charges less than other fishmongers). In Lyon it costs about 30 euros per kilo. Ouch. I pay 1/3.

All kinds of roe from flatfish and herring etc. Lightly dredged in flour and fried in duck fat.

Last night's dinner.

Made the sauce and cooked the Italian Sausage and rapini before leaving for work yesterday morning.

Stuffed shells with a mixture of ricotta with garlic, egg , mozzarella and parmesan and the sausage and rapini.

Placed sauce in the bottom of a casserole dish, added the stuffed shells, topped with more sauce, and fresh mozzarella and parm and baked for 20 minutes.

I’m still sick, so with a lot of help from Mr. Kim and Jess this was dinner:

Slaw dogs, corn and fixed up canned baked beans.

 

Found these new-to-me Smash Mallows:

Lit the grill for the first time this year. Grilled boneless chicken breasts, yams (par cooked halfway in micro), zucchini. Also did a batch of extra firm tofu that I coated with a dijon based marinade, put the slices on oiled foil so the bottom would brown...future lunches.

@BeeZee  Amazing how oiled tofu and foil produce something loveley. I'm partial to tumeric and a hint of fish sauce.with just squirt of citrus (unripe oranges usually)
