Seasoning and Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Mashed Potatoes

  1. 1

    Cook the Potatoes

    Peel and cube the potatoes. Place them in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add mascarpone cheese, salt, and a drizzle of olive oil. Mash until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Cooking the Broccolini

  1. 3

    Blanch the Broccolini

    In a pot of boiling water, blanch the broccolini for 2-3 minutes until bright green. Drain and shock in ice water.

  2. 4

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the blanched broccolini and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper, then set aside.

Preparing the Wild Mushroom Cream

  1. 5

    Sauté the Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and wild mushrooms, cooking until the mushrooms are soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Make the Cream Sauce

    Add heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet, stirring well. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and fold in lump crab meat.

Grilling the Petit Filet and Shrimp

  1. 7

    Prepare the Grill

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

  2. 8

    Season the Meat and Shrimp

    Rub the petit filets and shrimp with olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 9

    Grill the Petit Filet

    Place the petit filets on the grill and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting time to your preference.

  4. 10

    Grill the Shrimp

    Grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.

Plating the Dish

  1. 11

    Assemble the Plate

    On a large plate, create a bed of mascarpone mashed potatoes. Top with the grilled petit filet and shrimp.

  2. 12

    Add the Sauce and Broccolini

    Spoon the wild mushroom cream and lump crab mixture over the meat. Arrange the sautéed broccolini on the side.

  3. 13

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired, and serve immediately.
