Introduction
A collection of three rich and decadent seafood dishes inspired by the movie TONY: a deeply savory Portuguese squid stew with linguica sausage and squid ink, a classic and luxurious French Lobster Thermidor coated in a rich tarragon-sherry cream sauce, and a simple yet pristine Connecticut-style warm lobster roll.
Step 1
【Squid Stew】Peel 6 large Yukon Gold potatoes, cut them into 1-inch pieces, and submerge them in water to prevent browning. Finely chop the Spanish onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper.
Step 2
【Squid Stew】Grind the fennel seeds and cumin seeds in a mortar and pestle. Mix them with the crushed red pepper flakes, sweet smoked paprika, and sweet Hungarian paprika to create the spice mix.
Step 3
【Squid Stew】Separate the tentacles from the squid bodies. Slice the tubular bodies into rings, then squeeze the squid pieces thoroughly in paper towels to dry them completely.
Step 4
【Squid Stew】Dice the Portuguese linguica sausage. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven, add the sausage, and cook until crisp and fat has rendered. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon, keeping the fat in the pan.
Step 5
【Squid Stew】Sauté the chopped onion and bell peppers in the sausage fat for 3 to 5 minutes until soft and translucent. Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan, drop the squid into the center, and sear for 1 minute before tossing everything together.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
When simmering the squid stew, keep the temperature at a very gentle, low simmer. High heat or boiling will cause the squid to turn tough and rubbery.
When adding the egg yolk and cream mixture to the Thermidor sauce, make sure the heat is low or turned off completely, and whisk constantly to avoid scrambling the eggs.
Wipe out excess butter from the pan when toasting the hot dog bun to ensure it browns evenly without burning.
Warm lobster rolls rely on a clean emulsion of butter and lemon juice; avoid overheating the butter to prevent it from splitting.
