| INSTRUCTIONS |
Season
catfish with salt, red pepper, black pepper and
garlic. Let sit in refrigerator until ready to use.
The next thing you want to do is make a roux by
heating the oil in a heavy bottomed pot. Add the
flour and stir constantly over medium heat until
the color of a penny. Remove from heat and add onions
and celery, stir mixture well and return the pot
to the fire. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes on medium
heat.
Add tomatoes, sauce, bay leaf sugar, and water and
stir until well mixed and roux dissolved. When the
sauce comes to a boil reduce heat and simmer for
45 minutes to 1 hour. Add your Catfish and lemons
and bring back to a simmer for 15 minutes. You do
not want to overcook the fish. It should flake,
but not fall apart. Take the pot off of the fire.
Add parsley and green onions let stand for about
5 minutes and serve in soup bowl with a large scoop
of white rice. |
