Gusteau’s Famous Poached Scallops with Beurre Blanc

This is another one of Gusteau’s signature dishes. It is shown a few times in the movie

I used bay scallops instead of sea scallops because I could get bay scallops cheaper.

Remy’s Omelette for Linguini

I want Remy in my house to cook me omelettes in the morning.

We made a classic French omelette with some of the limited ingredients shown in the movie.

Ingredients
  1. 3 eggs
  2. 3 tbs butter
  3. 1 tsp fresh Parmesan
  4. 1 tsp fresh basil
  5. 1 tsp fresh rosemary
  6. 1/4 cup finely cut red peppers
  7. 1 tbs feta cheese
  8. Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Warm a 10in non-stick pan over a medium heat.
  2. Crack eggs in a bowl and mix until uniform
  3. Add the salt, pepper, and Parmesan and 1 tbs butter (in chunks)
  4. Melt 2 tbs butter in pan
  5. Pour the egg mixture in the pan
  6. Let the eggs bubble slightly for a couple of seconds, then take a wooden fork or spatula and gently draw the mixture in from the sides of the pan a few times, so it gathers in folds in the center.
  7. Leave for a few seconds, then stir again to lightly in a figure-8 combine uncooked egg with cooked.
  8. Leave briefly again, and when partly cooked, stir a bit faster, stopping while there’s some barely cooked egg left.
  9. Add feta cheese and spices in the middle
  10. With the pan flat on the heat, shake it back and forth a few times to settle the mixture.
  11. It should slide easily in the pan and look soft and moist on top.
  12. Grip the handle underneath. Tilt the pan down away from you and let the omelette fall to the edge.
  13. Fold the side nearest to you over by a third with your fork, and keep it rolling over, so the omelette tips onto a plate – or fold it in half, if that’s easier.

Killer Roast Duck

When Remy is scampering on the ground in the kitchen at Gusteau’s, he gets caught in the oven with an uncooked bird.

The ambient noise in the kitchen mentions that they cook duck. So I assume that the bird is a duck. So we made a great duck recipe with raspberry sauce
