4 servings
Jambalaya Grits *
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup chopped green bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped celery
Salt
Cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 cup peeled, seeded and
chopped fresh tomatoes
4 ounces andouille or smoked
sausage, cut into small dice
4 ounces ham, cut into small dice
4 ounces Louisiana crawfish tails
Essence
3 cups beef stock
3 cups whole milk
2 cups grits
1 cup grated white cheddar cheese
Scallions
Pan-crispy fish
Four 6-ounce firm white fish fillets,
such as redfish, snapper or trout
2 cups all-purpose flour
Essence
1/2 cup Creole Mustard or
whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1.
Make the jambalaya grits: In large saucepan, heat the olive oil.
Add the onions, bell peppers and celery and season with salt and
cayenne. Sauté
for
2 to 3 minutes, or until wilted. Add the garlic
and tomatoes and sauté for 2
minutes. Add the sausage and ham
and cook for 2 minutes. Add the
crawfish and season with Es-
sence. Add the stock and milk and bring to a
boil. Reduce to a
simmer and stir in the grits. Stir for 30 seconds, then
add
the
cheese and stir until melted. Cook, uncovered, for 4 - 5 minutes,
or
until the grits are tender and creamy. Stir in the scallions and
season to
taste with salt and cayenne.
2. Make the pan-crispy fish: Season both the fish and flour with
Essence. Whisk the mustard and cream together. Spread both
sides of each
fillet with the mustard. Dredge the fillets in the
seasoned flour.
3. In a large sauté pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the
fish for 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove and
drain on paper
towels. Season the fish with Essence and serve
with the grits.
