Hey everyone, I hope you are having an amazing day today.it is Lloyd Stewart. Today, we’re going to prepare a special dish, mikes ez crawfish étouffée over dirty rice. It is one of my favorites. For mine, I will make it a little bit tasty. This will be really delicious.
When it comes to cooking, it is very important to take into account that everyone started somewhere. I don’t know of a single person who came to be with a wooden cooking spoon and ready to go. There is a whole lot of learning which must be done as a way to be a prolific cook and there is always room for improvement. Not only do you will need to start with the basics when it comes to cooking however you nearly need to start when understanding how to cook a brand new cuisine such as Chinese, Chinese, Thai, or Indian food.
This means that at any given time in your cooking learning cycles there is quite probably somebody somewhere that’s worse or better in cooking more than you personally. Take advantage of this because even the best have bad days in terms of cooking. There are a lot of people who cook for several factors. Some cook as a way to consume and live while others cook simply because they actually like the process of ingestion. Some cook during times of emotional trauma among others cook out of sheer boredom. No matter your reason for cooking or understanding how to cook you need to begin with the fundamentals.
Another great little bit of advice in regards to cooking staples would be to take to simpler recipes for some time and expand your own horizons into the more elaborate recipes that abound. Most recipes will have a tiny note about their degree of difficulty and you’re able to go the recipe to determine whether or not it really is something you are interested in preparing or convinced that you can prepare. Remember Rome was not built in a day and it will take a relatively good time to create a reliable’repertoire' of recipes to work to your meal preparation rotation.
Additionally you will discover as your experience and confidence grows that you will see your self increasingly more often improvising as you proceed and adjusting meals to meet your own personal preferences. If you prefer less or more of ingredients or wish to create a recipe somewhat more or less spicy in flavor you can make simple alterations along the way to be able to achieve this goal. Quite simply you will begin punctually to create meals of your personal. And that is something you wont of necessity learn when it comes to basic cooking skills to newbies however you’d never know if you didn’t master those simple cooking abilities.

Steps to make Mikes EZ Crawfish Étouffée Over Dirty Rice:
- I used my leftover crawfish from my boil yesterday but you can purchase presteamed or raw crawfish tails at your local market. Walmart usually sells them in 1 pound bags - shell free. Chances are they'll be frozen. Just dethaw and rinse tails of any silt. Reserve any dethawed fluids from bags and dethaw water. Fine strain You'll definitely want that delicious mudbug flavor!
- For The Crawfish Étouffée Fine dice your vegetables. In a large pan with a tight fitting lid - melt butter over medium high heat. Add chopped vegetables to pan and sauté until soft and translucent. About 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add small amounts of water if needed. Add your crawfish tails and seasonings, mix and cover tightly. Simmer for 5 minutes if using presteamed tails. Stir occasionally. Turn up your heat - add your water / flour mixture, mix well and simmer until desired thickness. About 3 minutes.
- For The Dirty Rice Make as per manufactures directions. Make stove top or microwavable. All it requires is water but I always add 1/2 teaspoon Tony Chatcherie's per box for additional flavor.
- Serve Étouffée over dirty rice. If opting instead for white rice - which is a traditional option - pack cooked rice into a small bowl to mold. Then flip on the top of your Crawfish Étouffée. Garnish dish with green onions and parsley. Serve with Louisiana Hot Sauce to the side. I'll also round this meal out with a garden salad and warm French Bread. Enjoy!
