Notes & Wine Advice

Making Broth With Lobster Tail Shells

Don’t discard those empty lobster tail shells, as they can be used for a beautiful broth for lobster bisque, crab soup or seafood gumbo. Place the shells in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot with 4 cups water, 1 medium peeled and diced yellow onion, 1 medium peeled and diced carrot, 1 diced stalk celery, and 2 peeled and halved cloves garlic. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer covered for 30 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove and discard the solids from the broth. Strain the remaining liquid through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Refrigerate covered for up to four days or freeze up to six months.

Tuna Croquettes

Tuna Croquettes

Traditionally, croquettes are a fried delicacy; the word croquette comes from the French word croquer, which literally means “crunch.” With the air fryer, however, you’ll get all the crispness without the deep-fried fat and carbs. Also, don’t discard your celery leaves — chop them up and serve them over your croquettes, or add them to a salad at a later date!
