YABBY (CRAWFISH), TOMATO AND CHILI PASTA SAUCE



Yabby (Crawfish), Tomato and Chili Pasta Sauce image

We've been away catching lots of yabbies (crawfish) for the past week. I made this last night and want to make it again soon for some of the family. We tried to extract raw meat from the tails for this, but found it too hard so cooked our yabbies quickly in salted water, then went on with the recipe. You could use shrimp/prawns in this too.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 g parmesan cheese, finely grated (I use my microplane)
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
zest of a small lemon
3 teaspoons olive oil
4 tablespoons finely diced red onions
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon chili flakes (to taste)
200 ml white wine
1 (400 g) can tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (to taste)
1 tablespoon capers
300 g crawfish meat (yabby)

Steps:

  • Combine the parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until softened, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, then add in the chilli flakes and white wine. Cook to reduce a little.
  • Add the tomatoes and their juice and the chciken stock powder. Cook until reduced and thickened (mine took about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat).
  • While this is happening, cook some pasta to serve the sauce over. We had penne, I would have preferred angel hair though!
  • When the sauce is thickened to your liking, add in the capers and yabby meat and cook a further 2 or 3 minutes to heat the yabbies through.
  • Serve over pasta with the parmesan, parsley zest mix sprinkled over the top.

This recipe is adapted from a cookbook entitled Best Recipes of Michigan Inns and Restaurants by Margaret E. Guthrie. This is a menu item served at Arie's Cafe in Plainwell, Michigan. If you ever find yourself in Southwest Michigan, do yourself a favor and have a meal at Arie's Cafe. It's worth going out of your way to find.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 (6 -8 ounce) white fish fillets
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 ounce clarified butter
1/2 cup diced lemon
1/4 cup diced fresh tomato (avoid using canned)
1/4 cup capers
1 ounce fresh butter

Steps:

  • Mix the salt, pepper, and garlic with the flour in a plate or pie plate. Pour milk into a separate pie plate and dip the fillets in milk, then dredge in the seasoned flour.
  • Heat saute pan over medium heat. When hot, add 1 ounce clarified butter. Place fillets in pan, skin side down (**I always use skinless fish). Cook until golden brown, turn over and cook until done.
  • Remove fillets onto a plate. While pan is still hot, wipe the pan out with a clean damp rag or paper towels. Place back on the stove. Add fresh butter; when it starts to brown add the Grenoble sauce and saute until heated, approximately 1-2 minutes. Pour the warmed Grenoble sauce over the fillets** and serve.
  • **After reading the first review of this recipe I wanted to add a final note. The cookbook says to serve only 1 tablespoon of the Grenoble sauce over each fillet. That may help in making the dish more balanced, as opposed to using all of the sauce.

CRAWFISH FETTUCCINE



Crawfish Fettuccine image

I have lived in this close-knit community all my life and enjoy cooking Cajun dishes, especially those with seafood. Along with a green salad and garlic bread, this dish is great for family gatherings. The recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger group, and if you'd like it less spicy, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before chopping it. -Carolyn Lejeune, Welsh, Louisiana
