Method

Crawfish Etouffee

  1. 1

    Prepare the Roux

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery (the 'holy trinity') and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.

    Add the Crawfish

    Stir in the garlic, crawfish tails, thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Pour in the chicken broth and hot sauce. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  4. 4

    Finish with Green Onions

    Once the etouffee is thickened, remove from heat and stir in chopped green onions for garnish.

Cornbread Dressing

    In a large bowl, combine crumbled cornbread, chicken broth, beaten eggs, chopped onion, chopped celery, salt, black pepper, sage, and melted butter. Mix well.

    Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top.
