Directions: Crawfish Étouffée
- In a 2-gallon stockpot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, bell peppers, tomatoes, garlic and bay leaves. Sauté until vegetables are wilted, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the crawfish tails and tomato sauce and stir well into the mixture to combine.
- Using a wire whip, blend the flour into the crawfish-vegetable mixture to form a roux.
- Slowly add the stock or water, a little at a time, until a sauce consistency is achieved. Continue adding more stock or water as necessary to retain the consistency. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaves.
- Add the sherry, scallions and parsley and cook an additional 5 minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper and reserve warm.
Directions: Poutine Potatoes
- Cover the quartered potatoes with water in a large pot. Add the seasonings and salt. Bring to a boil and let boil for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and let sit in cooking water until potatoes are just done but not overcooked, about 10 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and let cool on a sheet pan.
- Heat the oil to 350°F in a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Fry the potatoes until golden brown and crisp, about 2 minutes.
Directions: Assembly
- Cover fried potatoes with shredded Pepper Jack cheese and generously spoon crawfish étouffée over the top. Serve immediately.
