Sorry, picture heavy!
I've posted this in the past. It's been awhile since I've made Mom's bisque, it's a labor of love. :grin:
Separating the heads and tails... saving the claws and extras for stock.
I quick boil the "heads" in baking soda water to clean..
start my stock...
gather ingredients for the stuffing...
has to be Pet milk.... cause Momma said so.
I fry a patty of stuffing in butter for a "taste test"
Stuff the "heads"
dust the stuffing in flour and fry in butter to set the stuffing...
The stuffed heads are ready. I bag some for future meals.
Day two. lol
I make the "Gravy" for the heads.
Lard and flour...
I go for a medium roux..
the onions, peppers, celery, garlic...
Add the crawfish stock then the tails...
the stuffed heads, parsley, seasonings...
heat through and supper is ready.
Added a bit of rice to the bowl, topped with bisque and called her good.
I did add extra tails and heads to my dish.
Be sure to clip your shells on the side of the bowl, so your siblings will know that you received more "heads"..... because Mom likes you best. :laugh:
Sorry for so many pics again, but thanks for looking!
