Parmesan Cream Sauce

Ingredients

1 quart             Heavy cream

1/2 pound        Parmesan cheese, grated

1/3 pound        Romano cheese, grated

2 teaspoons     White pepper

1/8 teaspoon    Nutmeg

3 Tbsp               Butter

1/4 cup             Flour

Instructions

Bring heavy cream to a boil. Add cheese and stir well. Add pepper and nutmeg. Next, in a small sauté pan, make a roux by me the butter over medium heat. Blend in the flour and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent the roux from browning. Using a wire whisk, add roux to the milk/cheese mixture and continue cooking until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.  Remove from the heat.

This sauce may be made and held in refrigeration for up to one week.

Yield: 1 quart

RSJ’s Smoked Yellowfin Tuna Dip

The smoked tuna dip at Harbor docks is, by far, the best in the area. Actually, it’s the best I have ever tasted. Over the years I have taken a few stabs at recreating a Harbor Dock’s version, but always come up short. After several failed attempts, and facing a cookbook deadline, I finally worked up a recipe for smoked crab dip, which is excellent, though my wife still prefers Harbor Docks smoked tuna dip.
