Sun...check. Pool time...check. Crawfish...check. Family...check. Friends...check. Shopping...check.
Yesterday, I spent Easter in my hometown of Thibodaux at my Aunt Sugar's home for a great Easter lunch. Crawfish stew, crawfish bisque, crawfish pies along with homemade mac and cheese & potato salad filled our plates. Yes. It was a true Southern bayou Easter. My mom and aunt always make great use of left over crawfish.
One of my personal favorite dishes is Honey's Pie a la Crawdad aka Crawfish Pie. She has been making this dish for so long and is also a personal favorite of J, Charlie, and others. I love the way Honey changed up her receipe yesterday to place in individual pie shells. I will be trying this soon for an upcoming brunch. Honey says it's fool proof.... well? I shall see and let you know. LOL.
The recipe:
1 stick margarine
2 onions, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 T. tomato catsup
1 T. cornstarch
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 lb. crawfish tails
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Onion tops and parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Individual pie shells
· Saute vegetables in margarine until tender.
· Mix cornstarch and tomato catsup and add to vegetables.
· Blend in soup, stirring until smooth.
· Remove from heat and add beaten eggs and crawfish.
· Stir in some chopped onion tops and parsley and season to taste.
· Pour in unbaked individual pie shells.
· Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes
Delicious!
