Midnight Garden – Crab Consomme
Yes, it’s blurry, damn it. Chef Chashma and I worked like dogs on the Midnight Garden 5 course secret supper, but all our pictures turned out blurry. Ah well, the food was good, so whateve’s. I just wanted to pass on this recipe for crab consomme, cause it’s so bloody tasty and looks like liquid gold. Enjoy!Crab Consomme1. Go to the store and buy the liveliest crab you can find. Pinch the legs to make sure they aren’t squishy, if they are the meat hasn’t filled into the shell yet. 2. Bake my garlic crab recipe first with whole crabs. Always ask to keep the carapace when you buy crab at the fish store, that’s where the flavour is. The important thing to do with the whole crabs is bake them, don’t boil them, all the flavour is gone in…
