Egga A La Nouvelle Orleans Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
1 lb butter
1 1/2 lb crab meat
BRANDY CREAM SAUCE
1 cup butter
1 1/4 cup flour
5 cup hot milk
3/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2 oz brandy
16 eggs
3 qt water
3 cup white vinegar
Recipe Preparation
Authentic? I sure as heck can't say. Fattening++you bet! Good?
More'n likely. How could it help but be with a brandy cream sauce
and crabmeat.
Melt the butter in a saute pan or skillet over low heat. Add the crab
meat and cook slowly, stirring very gently, just until hot, about 5
to 8 minutes.
To prepare the brandy cream sauce, melt the butter over low heat in a
sauce pan. Stir in the flour gradually, cook for about 3 minutes,
then gradually pour in the milk, continue stirring. Cook over low
beat until the sauce thickens, then add the salt, pepper and brandy.
Continue to cook about 5 minutes or until the sauce is medium thick.
To poach the eggs, bring the water and the vinegar to a boil in a
large skillet or saute pan. Keeping the water at a continuous low
rolling boil, crack the eggs one by one into it. Cook until the egg
whites are firm, about 4 minutes. Lift the poached eggs out of the
water with a skimmer or slotted spoon, allowing the water to drain
back into the pan. Place them on a heated platter while you assemble
the dishes.
Place 3 ounces of crab meat on each of 8 heated plates, then place 2
poached eggs side by side on the crab meat. Ladle sauce evenly over
the portions.
Makes 8 servings.

Food Tips of the Week
Advice on losing weightMake sure that you drink enough fluids. Sometimes at some stage in a hectic work day, you feel you need food when in truth you may need a refreshing glass of water or cranberry juice. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, but one of them ends in weight increase and the other one leads to no damage.
The case against reduced carb diets
Its all the rage, but it is really safe for you?
Elevated consumption of animal-based products could lead into high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which a few authorities believe will increase the chance of heart conditions.
The majority of the unpleasant side-effects stated, such as general tiredness, stomach upsets, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carb diets are not without permanently harmful side effects.
Superfoods containing flavonoids
(inlcudes cranberry, kale, soy and tea)
The large family of compounds known as flavonoids which are present in these natural foods are thought to have properties in preventing cancer.
Medical experts studying the nutritional effects of flavonoids believe that they may also have numerous other health benefits, including, but not limited to, anti-dermatitis and anti-platelet properties.
The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
