Redclaw Yabby Crawfish Pasta Sauce Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the egg noodles and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, green pepper, garlic, and parsley. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the crawfish tails and Cajun seasoning; simmer 5 minutes longer.
• Pour in the heavy cream, mushrooms, and 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese; stir until the cheese has melted. Toss the pasta with the crawfish sauce and green onions; sprinkle with the remaining Cheddar cheese.

• Just before serving add the crawfish meat and cook a further 2 minutes.

• Using a large knife, shred the cabbage and place in a large bowl with the carrot, apple and spring onions.
• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar and oil. Season then toss with the salad. Serve or see our suggestions, below right.
• To make with roast chicken, snip the stalks from a punnet of mustard cress and stir half into the coleslaw with the wholegrain mustard. Divide between plates then scatter the roast chicken (leftovers or shop bought) on top. Sprinkle with the remaining cress and serve.
• To make with marinated chicken, heat the grill to high. Tear the leaves from a large bunch basil and scatter half of them into the coleslaw. Chop the rest and mix with a pinch ground fenugreek or coriander, zest and juice of the lime, olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. Rub the chicken breasts in the lime mix (leave to marinate for 10 mins if time), then grill for 6 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Thickly slice and serve on top of the coleslaw.
