Catfish & Creole Sauce

Cheese Grits

Method

Catfish & Creole Sauce

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Dice the onion, green bell pepper, and red bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves. Slice the andouille sausage into rounds.

  2. 2

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add the diced onion, green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Stir in the canned diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Creole seasoning, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

  5. 5

    Cook the Catfish

    Nestle the catfish fillets into the sauce. Cover and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the catfish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Add the cooked sausage back into the skillet for the last 5 minutes.

Cheese Grits

  1. 6

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over high heat. Add salt to taste.

  2. 7

    Cook the Grits

    Once the water is boiling, gradually add the grits while stirring to prevent lumps. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 8

    Add Milk and Cheese

    When the grits are thick and creamy, stir in the milk, butter, and cheddar cheese. Cook for another 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth.

  4. 9

    Season to Taste

    Adjust seasoning with salt as needed, and keep the grits warm until serving.
