Shrimp & Clam Perloo

Seafood
Perloo is a classic low country rice dish which falls somewhere between a jambalayah and red rice. The dish is brimming with rich low country flavors. We use fresh local shrimp and clam in ours. The dish starts with country ham, celery, onions, smoked sausage, peppers, garlic and tomatoes. We then add our seafood and tomato fumet which is essentially a flavorful stock that we make using the shrimp heads and fish skin we have left over from cleaning our local seafood. Next we add fresh herbs and seasoning to the broth and allow it to simmer so the flavors can fully develop. We then bring the dish to a boil and add our rice and clams. When the rice is nearly cooked we add our shrimp and after two to three minutes it''s ready to serve with some thinly sliced green onions, finely grated romano, freshly ground black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Triggerfish With a Pistou of Garden Vegetables & Herbs

Seafood, Vegetables
Serves 4
2 whole Triggerfish, cut into 4 fillets
Canola oil
juice of 1 Lemon
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Salt
Cayenne Pepper

Ingredients for the Vegetables

The idea of this dish is to utilize what is fresh daily, to capture the specific flavor of a day in the garden.  The concept is to serve the vegetables cooked, raw and pureed.  Simply go to the market and choose five or six of the best looking vegetables. Choose the ones that catch your eye, you will enjoy cooking them the most. All vegetables should be cleaned properly and cut into bite sized pieces, saving some whole for shaving.  All vegetables should be cooked separately in just enough vegetable stock to cover them over medium heat. We like to cover the vegetables with parchment paper while they are simmering. The vegetables are done cooking when they are fork tender.  When they are tender, remove vegetables from the stock and hold on a baking sheet on the countertop and reserve the remaining liquid.  Combine all the cooking liquids from each individual vegetable into a medium sauce pan.  This liquid will be used to reheat the vegetables together when you are ready to serve.  For the shaved vegetables simply shave a few slices of the vegetables on a mandoline as you need them, this should be one of the last steps.  For the purees, choose which vegetables you want on the plate and puree them separately with some vegetable stock and hold them warm.

NOTE: The recipe for the vegetable stock is below, this is a very important part of the recipe and the leftovers can be frozen and saved for a later use. 

1 gallon Water
5 Carrots, peeled & rough chopped
