Crawfish Napoleon Ingredients

Method

Crawfish Napoleon Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grits

    In a pot, bring chicken broth to a boil. Add grits and stir. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 20 minutes. Stir in andouille sausage, salt, and pepper. Keep warm.

  2. 2

    Make the Creole Cream Sauce

    In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic. Sauté until softened. Stir in crawfish tails, paprika, and creole cream sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Fried Green Tomatoes

    Slice green tomatoes and dip in flour, then egg, and finally cornmeal. Heat oil in a skillet and fry tomatoes until golden brown on both sides. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Crawfish Napoleon

    On a plate, layer grit cake, then top with crawfish cream sauce and a slice of fried green tomato. Repeat layers if desired, finishing with sauce on top.
