LCG 'Etoufee recipe

Postby madjack » Mon Jan 01, 2007 2:06 pm

...it has been a while in coming and for that I apologize...this is the recipe that we based the etoufee' at Bistineau on...it will feed 2 VERY hungry folks or 4 polite people with salad/bread/sides....

1-large onion
1-medium bell pepper
2,3-stalks of celery
2,3-pods of garlic
1-stick of butter
2,3-tablesoons of flour
2-cups of water
4-chicken bouillon cubes
1-batch green onion/shallots
1#-meat(peeled shrimp/crawfish.etc)
pepper to taste...I prefer a mix of pepper flavors for this(green/red/black/white)
a shot or two of tabasco(optional)
there should be enough salt in the bouillon cubes, making adding additional salt unnecessary
1-cup uncooked rice per 2 people

cook rice and set aside
in large pan, melt butter and saute' chopped onion/bell pepper/celery/garlic...add flour and stir well...add water slowly, stirring while adding...add bouillion cubes...add pepper and additional seasonings...simmer for an hour...this should make a fairly thick "gravy"(thicker than it was at the LCG) so add more flour if needed...add shrimp and simmer another 15 minutes(or so) add chopped green onions/shallots and serve over rice...mmm...mmm...mmm

p.s....we multiplied this recipe by 25+ for the LCG...as to secret ingredients...just remember that every cook stirs the pot just a little differently ;) ...don't be afraid when cooking(this or other dishes) to experiment with the seasonings to make the recipe your "own".......MJ

MadJack - Thanks for the recipe - I plan on giving it a try in my DO very soon.

However, I have been trying to find the words to go with "LGG" Did a search on the forum and can find lots of references but no definition. Can you help?

MJ,

Its been so warm up here in CT, that this afternoon was perfect for trying this out in the DO. I used home made chicken stock instead of the water and boullion, and cornstarch as a thickener. Just a scoch of salt (scoch being a very technical term for "just a bit"). I don't like tabasco, so I used Frank's Louisiana Hot.

It was Goo-oo-ood!!!! Yeah, it was THAT good.

Add to it a nice crunchy bread, some salad and a bottle of Sam Adams. Life is good!

Thanks!
Stan

...down thisaway, a stick of butter is 1/4# and green onions are sold by the "batch" (or bunch)which is around a 1/2 dozen(more or less) bundled together with a rubber band...none of these amounts are terribly critical...just getit close enough and it should be fine...

So, you are adding your flour to the sauteed veggies? Not doing a roux, and sauteeing the veggies separately? I just want to be sure. It's not what I expected. If you are making a roux, how dark are you going?

I've done gumbos, but not an etoufee. I'm an Italian who loves cajun food, and it's not made the same way -- frustrating.

I used to make my own stocks, but found some stuff in a carton called "Kitchen Basics", and it is really good, and a lot less hassle. It's not full of chemicals like the canned stuff, either.
