I'm jumping the gun here but I will not be able to post later----REALLY busy day!!!!
I thought this was a very nice recipe. It was fairly easy to prepare, too. Peter is not into pot pies so I thought I would make this for my lonesome while he continues his US adventure. He will really like this particular pot pie and I will definitely make for him.
I followed the recipe to the letter (I always do the first time I prepare a new recipe) and there are few changes I would make—if any. The spices and herbs are spot on. I used dried tarragon instead of the fresh ---I don’t think I have seen fresh tarragon here. I would like to try fresh dill next time. And instead of crab (don’t have lump here—just the shredded) I subbed scallops.
The cooking times were perfect and the seafood came out tender and moist and ohhh soooo yummy!!! I also feel the amounts for the vegetables was just right—although I added a few more peas.
The markets here always have frozen puff pastry ----love puff pastry and this was the best light flaky topping for such a rich, artery clogging dish. I have had two meals with this amount and have another left for tonight.
Yes, I will make this again. I would also serve to guests who are seafood lovers who would like a more rustic dinner…….as long as they don’t mind the gazillion calories.
I would give it a 9---but I love seafood dinners so I can’t be too objective.
All said, this was a fun dinner!!!
Can't wait for your opinions---
