Bouillabaisse – a cult dish of South French cuisine – is a fish soup. The main ingredients of this soup are fish (at least 5 types) and vegetables. Of course, this rich soup with an unusual history is very tasty and healthy, but there is also some danger in it – you can easily get carried away and get up from the table only when there is nothing left in the tureen!
I love lancet fish for its tenderness, softness and juiciness. There are no bones in it, except for the central cartilage. But we all know that during the heat treatment of this wonderful fish, a lot of fish juice is released. So let’s use this feature for good: cook it with paella. Let the juice soak the rice and make a delicious, fragrant dish out of it. And we don’t need fish broth.
Paella… It is difficult to add something new to the main recipe of this Spanish dish. But I tried anyway. It turned out delicious, satisfying and beautiful!
In the Cantonese dialect of Chinese, the name of this dish means “little gift”. “Dim sum” – steamed little edible treasures hidden in dough baskets are popular almost throughout Asia. But the most favorite dish is still, I think, Chinese. The filling can be different. Today we have chopped seafood.
We can say that this soup is the basis of Chinese cuisine. It has a specific sharp taste with a sour tint and a very pleasant aroma, and soy sauce just gives it those Asian notes that distinguish it from other soups. The taste of the soup is specific, whether you like it or not, but I think the recipe will interest only true connoisseurs of Asian cuisine.
Snacks “for one bite” are very convenient on the festive table. That’s the option I decided to offer today. Profiteroles made of custard dough with meat mousse and seafood mousse. In the center of the serving dish, so that it is absolutely New Year’s, you can put a conditional “Christmas wreath”.
Cannelloni is a dish as characteristic of Italy as pizza and pasta, although in fact it is pasta with all kinds of fillings. I suggest you get acquainted with cannelloni with seafood. Interestingly, I met the idea of using crab sticks in this recipe precisely in the vastness of the Italian (!) culinary blogosphere. Apparently, there are problems with fresh crabs in Italy, and then high-quality crab sticks may well diversify the taste of the dish and add those sweet crab notes to it. In our latitudes, the situation with crabs is much worse, and sometimes you really want to treat yourself to Italian dishes, well – there is nothing easier!
