A lovely dish, superbly flavourful, to serve on a special occasion. Served with rice and steamed asparagus, it's sure to impress!
Prep:40m Cook:30m Servings:6
Ingredients
5 large sea scallops, muscle removed
1 cup whipping cream
6.5 oz can crabmeat, or equivalent fresh
1/4 lb small fresh shrimp
2 Tbsp chopped fresh dill
Salt, white pepper and fresh lemon juice to taste
6 x 5 oz salmon fillets
1/4 cup melted butter
5 sheets Filo pastry, thawed if frozen (keep covered in a damp towel to prevent brittleness)
1 cup white wine (use the good stuff for this one!)
Directions
Pour the wine into a skillet and bring to a boil. Add the scallops and cook 1 to 2 minutes on each side until just cooked through. Remove scallops and cool to room temperature.
Continue boiling the wine until almost evaporated. Reduce to a simmer and add the whipping cream and simmer until thickened, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve.
Slice the scallops into thin strips and add them along with the crab, shrimp, dill, salt, pepper and lemon juice to the cream, mixing to coat.
Lay one sheet of filo on a parchment-lined baking tray and brush lightly with butter. Layer with another sheet of filo and brush again. Repeat until all filo is layered.
Preheat oven to 375F.
Arrange salmon fillets in a long narrow strip in the middle of the bottom third of the pastry. Season with salt and white pepper, then spread the seafood and cream mixture over the top.
Fold the sides of the pastry over the top and then carefully roll into a log shape, encasing the salmon and seafood mixture in a parcel.
Brush the top and sides of the pastry roll with butter. Using a sharp, serrated knife, make shallow cuts into just the pastry about 2" apart; this makes it easier to cut into serving pieces after baking.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until puffed and golden. Let rest 10 minutes before cutting into serving portions.

Southern Dinner-on-the-grounds Fried Chicken And Chicken Gravy Recipe
This is the old southern chicken that people living in the country made. It was a staple at church dinner-on-the grounds gatherings.

Slice some tomatoes and pass the biscuits and butterbeans.... More

Ingredients
1 chicken, cutup
Oil, your choice
2 cups Flour + 1 tsp Salt +1 tsp Black Pepper , mixed

Chicken gravy
1/4 cup hot chicken grease

Lobster And Sausage Piroghis Recipe
Russian food, well, good Russian food was all taken from the French begining when Peter the "great" wanted to "civilize" the Russians. At least the food got much better. By the way my surname was shortened from Kassalev.
Prep:30m Cook:20m Servings:8
Ingredients
-----------------For the Dough------------------
3 1/2 cups of flour
2 eggs + 2 yolks
1/3 cup . sour cream
3 tsp.. butter
----------------For the Filling--------------------
1 cup of spicy sausage (of your choice)
1 ½ lbs. of lobster tail meat
1 bunch of scallions
1 cup of large curd cottage cheese
Salt, Pepper
----------------For the Sauce ------------------
2 ½ cups of sour cream

6 oz. of tarama (carp roe - find it in Middle Eastern spec. stores)
1/3 cup of lemon juice
Fresh garlic
1/3 an oz. of fresh dill or chervil
Salt pepper
Directions
DOUGH - Mix all the ingredients for the dough together and knead it by hand – (we don’t want the gluten get too worked up) . Chill it for an hour.
STUFFING The sausage to use is completely up to you - I personally use a spicy Italian style. The only thing is that it should be cooked and diced to a small size. Poach the lobster tails and dice them small as well. Rinse and drain the cottage cheese. Chop the scallions and mix them along with the above mentioned ingredients. Season with a little salt and pepper (the sausage should provide most of the seasoning)
SAUCE- Put the garlic, vodka, lemon juice and the tarama into a blender and purée it. Chop the herbs finely and combine them along with the tarama purée into the sour cream. Season with salt and pepper..
TO PREPARE: Roll out the dough (onto a lightly floured surface) it should be no more than an 1/8 of an inch. and cut it into rounds about 2 inches in diametre. Fill them with some of the stuffing, brush the edges with some eggwash, fold them over and seal.
Boil the piroghi in water, at a slow boil, for 10 - 12 minutes - Drain them and let them cool.
After they have cooled slightly, coat them in more flour and deep-fry them until they are crisp.
Serve them hot with the sauce cold.

Directions
1-.Use one large sauté pan; add your butter and garlic. Once the garlic has turned golden brown add your shrimp & lobster, cook shortly as not to finish. At this point, pull your shrimp out of the pan and set aside. Now, sear your scallops. Once the scallops are close to being cooked, add your shrimp, then the wine. Let this mixture reduce until it coats the back of your spoon.

3-.You can now finish the sauce, add your salt, pepper, and garlic. Taste and adjust as needed. If your sauce is not thick, enough then add a slurry water "corn starch and water".
4-.Plate up your pasta, and then pour the sauce over each plate being sure to give out enough seafood per.
5-.This dish goes very well with a chardonnay
6-.Another thing you can do is pull your seafood out of the sauce and set aside. You can then take your sauce and pasta and mix it up in a bowl then add your seafood to the top for presentation, Or you can mix it all up together and sprinkle the top with fresh parsley.

Seafood Chowder
From a local restaurant, The Loaf and Ladle--if you like soups and sandwiches, it's a good cookbook, by Joan Harlow, who started the restaurant. My favorite chowder, ridiculously easy, really. You want to be careful with chowder--it's fragile and shouldn't be overheated. Just hot--not boiling, or the cream can "break" or curdle.... More
Prep:15m Cook:40m Servings:4
Ingredients
2 large potatoes (peeled and diced)
1 quart of stock (I use 2 cups fish stock and 2 cups chicken stock for richer flavor)
1 bay leaf
2 ounces salt pork (cut into small pieces)
1 large onion (peeled and diced)
2 cans evaporated milk, or 3 cups light cream (I use the cream, but she says that if you're going to leave this on the heat for a while, use the evap. milk, as it's more stable and won't curdle.)
2 TBSP butter
salt and pepper to taste
3/4-1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp dried parsley
1/2 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
1/2 lb bay scallops
1 7 oz can chopped clams
1 good size fillet of firm whitefish (haddock or cod) cut into approx 2 inch pieces
Directions
1-.Peel and dice potatoes and put them in the stock to boil. Add the bay leaf.
2-.Cook the salt pork in a skillet over medium heat until enough fat is rendered to saute the onions in.
3-.Remove the salt pork from the pan and cook the onions in the rendered fat.
4-.When the onions are translucent, add them to the potatoes in the stock. (Potatoes are ready when you can bite into them, but they are still firm.)
5-.Return the salt pork to the skillet and continue to cook until they're brown and crispy. Save them for garnishing the chowder later.
6-.Add the butter, thyme and parsley to the stock.
7-.Next add all of the seafood to the chowder. It should not be boiling, just simmering lightly. You don't want to overcook the seafood.
8-.Add the cream or evap. milk, season with salt and pepper, and just heat until the cream is heated through, don't boil.
9-.Serve in warm bowls, garnished with the salt pork.

Best Chicken Enchiladas
These enchiladas are unbelievable. They are so popular that I've taught a class on them 45 times, no joking. If you use a rotisserie chicken add about 1 T McCormicks Fajita seasoning. Make it low carb and "gourmet" by filling halved poblano peppers with the filling, top with cheese and drizzle with cream. Bake 45 minutes at 350 F. ... More
Prep:30m Cook:45m Servings:8
Ingredients

3-.Bake at 350 F for 45 minutes.
