Crawfish Chili Recipes

GAIDO'S CRAWFISH CHILI

Steps:

• Heat Olive Oil in Pan. Sweat Green Onion and Garlic (NO COLOR, JUST SWEAT). Add chili flake until a paste-like consistency is formed. Add crawfish tails and W. wine. Reduce by 80%. Mount with butter. Add saffron and season.
• Place in Chili bowl and torch goat cheese for 3 seconds (no color, just slightly melted).
• Garnish with green onion tops and crostinis.

YABBY (CRAWFISH), TOMATO AND CHILI PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine the parmesan, parsley and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a pan and cook the onion until softened, add the garlic and cook 30 seconds more, then add in the chilli flakes and white wine. Cook to reduce a little.
• Add the tomatoes and their juice and the chciken stock powder. Cook until reduced and thickened (mine took about 15 minutes over a medium-low heat).
• While this is happening, cook some pasta to serve the sauce over. We had penne, I would have preferred angel hair though!
• When the sauce is thickened to your liking, add in the capers and yabby meat and cook a further 2 or 3 minutes to heat the yabbies through.
• Serve over pasta with the parmesan, parsley zest mix sprinkled over the top.
