"To cook is to create. And to create well...
is an act of integrity, and faith."

"The Creole Cafe steamed with onion vapour, garlic mists, tomato
fogs and green-pepper sprays. I cooked and sweated among the
cloying odours and loved being there..."
~ Maya Angelou, in "Gather Together in My Name"

"The French à la meunière technique is a method of preparing any type of fish
by lightly dredging it in flour, sautéing it in butter, and serving it with melted
butter and sliced lemon. À la meunière means in the style of the miller's wife…"

4 servings

1 cup flour
4 teaspoons Rustic Rub
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup milk
4 catfish or trout fillets (6 to 6 1/2 ounces each)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 stick (1/4 pound) butter
1 cup pecan pieces
4 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 tablespoon minced garlic
2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne

Combine the flour with 2 teaspoon of the rub is a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, blend the eggs and milk together. Season the
fish with the remaining 2 teaspoons rub.
Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the fillets in the flour, coating evenly. Dip the fillets in the egg mixture. Dredge again in flour. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, lay the fillets in the skillet. Panfry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden. Transfer
to a warm platter.
Discard any oil remaining in the skillet and wipe clean with paper towels. Return the skillet to the stove. Over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons
of the butter. When the butter foams, add the pecans and stir constantly
for about 1 1/2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Add the parsley, garlic,
lemon juice, Worcestershire and cream. Stir with a whisk for about 15
seconds and remove from heat. Add the salt, cayenne, and remaining 6
tablespoons butter, broken into small chips, and stir until the butter
melts completely.
Spoon the sauce over the fillets to serve.
