Seafood Florentine

Posted in : Recipes, Seafood on June 2, 2006 by : SpiceGuy

Not exactly a recipe, kind of a class of recipes. I’ve seen it in a
number of forms. I think with oysters it’s called,
oysters florentine?

So here’s what you do:

Make a standard white sauce with butter and flour to make a light rue.
Add cream and/or milk and season with salt, pepper, and a dash of nutmeg.
Mix some of it with chopped spinach and put that in a baking dish or
individual ramicans. Sprinkle with parmesan or white cheddar cheese. Top
with oysters, scallops, halibut, whatever……… cover the whole mess
with more white sauce and some paprika and bake it/them in a moderate oven until light brown and edges begin to bubble. Open the wine & rip up some crusty bread…I could eat this every day…

Thanks again, big brother…<*)-((((-{
