- .RZ "CRAWFISH ETOUFFEE"
- .KY FISH
- I worked a long time to perfect a home version of this dish. Here is my
- recipe:
- .IH "Makes about 4 servings"
- .IG "\(12 c" "oil or margarine" "110 ml"
- .IG "\(12 c" "flour" "60 g"
- .IG "1 large" "onion,"
- finely chopped
- .IG "1 large" "celery stalk,"

- .IG "2 \(12 c" "fairly rich shrimp broth" "560 ml"
- .IG "1 Tbls" "lemon juice" "15 ml"
- .IG "\(12 c" "crawfish fat" "110 ml"
- (substitute
- .AB "3-4 Tbls" "50-65 ml"
- crawfish liquid or crawfish stock) \fB*\fR
- .IG "1 tsp" "salt"
- (omit if using crawfish stock)
- .IG "1 Tbls" "fresh parsley"
- (1 tsp dried)
- .IG "\(12 tsp" "cayenne pepper"
- .IG "\(12 tsp" "black pepper"
- .IG "\(12 tsp" "thyme"
- .IG "1" "bay leaf"
- .IG "1 lb" "frozen crawfish," "450 g"
- all liquid included
- .IG "2 large" "scallion tops,"
- sliced
- .IG "" "cooked converted rice"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Make a medium dark roux by whisking the flour into the oil over medium heat
- and cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture is the color of chocolate.
- .SK 2
- Add the onion along with the celery and garlic, and sautee over medium low
- heat until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
- .SK 3
- Slowly add the shrimp stock, and bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer, and
- add lemon juice, crawfish fat/stock/liquid, and the spices. Simmer 15 minutes.
- .SK 4
- Add the crawfish and any liquid, bring to a rapid simmer, reduce to a low
- simmer, add the scallions, and simmer just until the crawfish are tender,
- about 10 minutes. Adjust seasonings.
- .SK 5
- To serve, mound some rice on a plate, and ladle some of the etouffee on top.
- .NX
- Crawfish fat gives the dish its characteristic flavor. In New Orleans, it can
- be bought in the stores, but it's tough to find elsewhere, so substitute. If
- you do find it, keep it refrigerated, as it is very perishable. By crawfish
- liquid, I mean any run off from frozen crawfish. Whenever you use crawfish
- for another reason (making Cajun popcorn, say), you should save any liquid
- from the inside of the package that remains after defrosting. This liquid is
- mainly water, but it will be orange in color from the crawfish fat and meat.
- .PP
- Finally, to make crawfish stock, take a dozen or so crawfish heads left over
- from a crawfish boil, and cover with some of the left over cooking liquid or
- water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for several hours. At
- the end of simmering, strain the stock, and reduce in half. Be careful when
- using this stock because it will be very salty. Omit any salt from the
- recipe, and adjust at the end.

- Add greens a handful at a time, mixing well between each handful. You want
- each piece of leaf coated with oil. Once all leaves are in, add a small
- amount of water to the pot and cover; steam until tender. (Tougher leaves like
- collards will need more water and longer steaming; spinach needs very little
- water and almost no steaming. You want almost no water left in the pot once
- the greens are tender).
