[Music]
we are back in the daytime kitchen with
shindig we have Lawrence and will with
us and we are making a soft-shell crab
alle for know what's ala for know alle
for know is a sauce that we made okay
it's our own creation in-house salsa
okay
and most ala for know you associates
with bacon peas things like that okay we
didn't want to do that so we took our
own twist on a California soft
we're making our own okay let's get
started the first thing that you're
gonna add and this is prot this is 10
ounces of heavy cream okay it's really
good perfect sign me up we got two
tablespoons of garlic in here mm-hmm
we're gonna add that there we go we have
we're gonna add 1/2 a cup of shallots
okay okay cuz you want the sauce to
really take on that shallot flavor
mm-hmm we're gonna add salt probably I
would say about a tape with teaspoon mmm
okay we're gonna add two and a half
tablespoons have green pepper we're
gonna add two and a half tables or CH
third cup of diced tomato okay and we're
gonna add the same with the red pepper
right here and we are gonna add some red
wine we're gonna add like three ounces
of red wine there's a little more but
we're just gonna add like three ounces
of red wine to the sauce and we're gonna
set this sauce on to boil okay and
that's what we're going to put over here
to boil mm-hmm okay and we do chopped
fresh veggies to make this sauce we
don't use anything frozen to make this
sauce and we make this completely
in-house okay all of our pasta sauces
are made in-house okay which is very
important absolutely we're gonna go
ahead
we actually snuck in made some sauce
because this takes a little while to
reduce okay how long does it take it
usually takes around 15 to 20 minutes to
reduce and to get your peppers up tender
and your tomatoes actually kind of cook
in the sauce okay okay but we have some
already made I love that and so we're
gonna plate this here we're gonna put
the sauce onto the pasta yep
oh wow that looks
[Music]
okay stir it in if we had a few more
minutes we would reduce the sauce even
more okay but it is close to close to
right
yeah they're doing that remind us again
