A truly delicious dish from xornzerskooma !
******************************
Really good cajun dish I wanted to try just for the sake of trying it, with some of my own touches~ I would say the difficulty level of this dish is a little bit higher due to the fact that if you want it to taste good, you have to make a decent blonde roux, but if you set the fire temp right it won't be too hard to cook. And this time I'm posting measurements so it should be easier to follow than the last one =P
For the roux:
4 TBS flour
4 TBS butter (always equal parts)
For sauce:
One onion(diced)
A few stalks of celleri(diced)
One bell pepper (diced)
A few stalk tomatoes(diced)
Pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, and pinch of thyme
A few branches of dill weed
1 cup of chicken broth
1/3 of a can of Hunt's traditional tomato pasta sauce
1/2 half lemon, squeezed
Few bay leaves
3-5 catfish filets seasoned with cajun seasoning(I use cajunland brand)
For rice:
1 cup rice
2 1/2 cups water
Few bay leaves
Directions:
Take the holy three(diced onion, bell pepper, and celleri) and a lil butter and slap it into a pot on medium high heat, stirring consistently just to ensure no burning. After it grows translucent and the fragrance hits the air, set aside in a bowl or something. Lower the heat to a 4 or a 5 and toss the flour and butter and stir to make the blonde roux, and do not stop stirring. I personally use a med heat because it's easier for me. I know some people that use it on a high heat but I wanted to make sure I didn't burn the roux because if you burn the roux, whole dish is for naught /:
After the roux becomes a decent brown( ----> this color http://kitchenproject.com/german/re.....uppe/Roux1.jpg ), immediately add the pre-sauteed holy three, diced tomato, chicken stock, and hunt's pasta sauce. Keep the fire on about a med to med-low heat depending on your comfort level or skill, and you can now relax, so start cooking up your rice. Sure, stir it every now and again(prolly about every five minutes), but you don't need to be as adamant about stirring because the sauces and juices cooled the roux down. Add the salt, pepper, bay leaves, thyme, dill weed, and lemon juice from half lemon. Just let it simmer for about 20 minutes to a half an hour or so. After that, add the fish, and let it simmer for about 15 mins.
After that, it's good to enjoy ^^

Looking at this recipe, it should work for any mild flaky white fish. So trout, tilapia/swai, etc., ought to work too. Salmon might be a bit rich and meaty, but would probably work too with a bit different flavor profile and potentially a longer cook time if the pieces are thicker.
This prep would likely work well with shrimp or crawdad meat too! Yum!
Note that the catfish in this are pre-seasoned with Cajun seasoning. If you sub different fish, you probably want to sprinkle some of that seasoning over them first for similar flavor. This seasoning is pretty spicy/hot and potent, so add to your desired flavor/preference.

Yeah, I've always looked at Cajun food as tempting, but unfortunately it is a literal temptation to the kosher observant. I did meet an actual Cajun chef who left after Katrina and told me that it's really a way of cooking any savory meat, fish, or vegetable, and that id doesn't require pork or shellfish.
In other words, there's a Cajun way of cooking beef, chicken, trout, or even okra, eggplants, and mushrooms.

Sounds accurate! Like many regional cuisines, it developed from the ingredients available to and lifestyles of the people in the area. Cajun is more the rural and back-country version of Creole, which had the advantage of the shipping ports, refrigeration, etc. Cajun for instance favors oils over dairy, and ingredients they could harvest from the water and ground instead of imported via the port and Mississippi.
So yes, the Cajun style lends itself to "country" ingredients of many types, including chicken and various veggies as well as the fish, gator, and crawdads. There ought to be plenty of opportunity to arrange the preparations and ingredients to meet the kosher requirements, while still staying true to the flavor and styles of the cuisine.
This wuff is looking forward to the posts of your creations in this way. There must be a lot of furs eager to keep kosher while enjoying this wonderful cuisine!

YUS!!
Funny little story about beignets: Wuff was eating for the first time at a local Creole restaurant, trying out their version of crawfish etouffee to meet a FACCC challenge for Vrghr to make his version of that dish. During the meal, wuffy decided to enjoy their beignets for dessert, having heard very good things about them. They served them in a little paper bag loaded with the powdered sugar they'd covered them in.
Unfortunately, Vrghr had worn his black shirt & pants from work... By the time wuff was done with dessert, wuff looked like he'd walked in from an Alaskan blizzard! LOL! Powdered sugar EVERYWHERE! Wuffy should have gotten the hint when the wait staff brought out the portable carpet cleaner when he ordered that dessert. *grin*
But they were TOTALLY worth all the mess! Oh! so tasty!
PS: if you're interested in that etouffee, this is the result of wuffy's attempt at it. Should be able to adapt it from crawfish to another protein or veggie to avoid the shellfish. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/14526532/
