Crawfish Balls image

I found this on Cooks.com and tweaked the recipe slightly, The original recipe said to serve them as they are, or to heat them in tomato sauce and serve over rice. I ate them on top of risotto. They are really rich, so go with a mild starch or sauce when you plan the meal.

Time 25m

Yield 9 balls, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 onion, chopped
1 tablespoon butter
2 garlic cloves, chopped (fresh)
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 green onions, chopped
8 ounces crawfish tails, chopped
3/4 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup flour
4 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Saute onions in butter until translucent & just beginning to brown. Add garlic and green onion and saute for a few more minutes, watching it carefully so the garlic doesn't burn.
  • Add crawfish and stir. Remove from heat and add parsley and bread crumbs, mix to combine.
  • Combine beaten egg and Worcestershire sauce in small bowl, then add to crawfish mixture. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more bread crumbs.
  • Wetting your hands to keep the mixture from sticking to your hands too much, form golf ball sized balls.
  • Roll balls in flour and then fry in hot oil until lightly browned.
