Decided to use some crawfish leftover from the boil to make an etoufee.
I had 3 lbs of tails leftover from our last boil in the freezer. Thawed them and got out the big pot .
(Recipe to follow)
Diced , onions ,celery , bell pepper ( cajun trinity).
also diced fine 4 cloves garlic ( gotta keep the vampires away)
sauteed the trinity in butter till clear then added garlic and cooked 5 more min.
added crawfish water and seasoning and cooked for 30 min.
made a cornstarch slurry and added to thicken.
add parsley and green onions and cook for 5 more min.
Decided to do fried eggplant medallions to serve the etoufee over instead of the usual rice.
Sliced eegplant in 1/4" slices and marinated for 1 hr in seasoned buttermilk.
Breaded the eggplant in half masa flour and half all pourpose flour seasoned w/ cajun dust.
fried till golden brown
Battery went dead in camera b4 i could get a plated pic.
But i got leftovers .so i'll try then.
