This recipe for Elegant Seafood Bisque brings together 1/2 cup finely minced shallot, 1/2 lb butter, 1/2 cup flour in a practical dish for home cooking. It takes about 35 min to prepare and cook. It makes approximately 8 servings.
This is my “secret” recipe, that I make for the guests who stay in our Chambres D’Hotes – Bed and Breakfast! (Not so secret anymore!) It is always popular, and makes a nice change from the usual pork rillettes, and it is MUCH lighter in fat as well. Serve these rillettes as I do, with triangles of hot toast and a selection of cornichons, pickled onions and a good quality or home-made confit d’oignons…….a good Dijon mustard is also “le Must Have” as well as a selection of salad leaves! I have a recipe for confit d’oignons posted on Zaar: Recipe #211001
