YABBY (CRAWFISH), TOMATO AND CHILI PASTA SAUCE



Yabby (Crawfish), Tomato and Chili Pasta Sauce image

We've been away catching lots of yabbies (crawfish) for the past week. I made this last night and want to make it again soon for some of the family. We tried to extract raw meat from the tails for this, but found it too hard so cooked our yabbies quickly in salted water, then went on with the recipe. You could use shrimp/prawns in this too.

Time 40m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 g parmesan cheese, finely grated (I use my microplane)
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
zest of a small lemon
3 teaspoons olive oil
4 tablespoons finely diced red onions
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon chili flakes (to taste)
200 ml white wine
1 (400 g) can tomatoes, chopped
1 teaspoon chicken stock powder (to taste)
1 tablespoon capers
300 g crawfish meat (yabby)

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.

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 lbs lean ground beef
2 lbs crayfish tails
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped fine
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon dried parsley
3 tablespoons chili powder
1 can tomato sauce
1 cup dry white wine
water
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1 cup onion, Chopped
bacon drippings

Steps:

  • Brown meat in bacon drippings.
  • Combine all other ingredients with meat and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer for a few hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crawfish if possible. Frozen crawfish can be used, but they will not have the same flavor and texture as fresh crawfish.
  • Clean the crawfish thoroughly before cooking. Remove the heads, tails, and intestines. You can also remove the shells, but this is not necessary.
  • Season the crawfish well. Crawfish has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of spices, such as garlic, onion, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt.
  • Cook the crawfish slowly. Crawfish should be cooked slowly over low heat. This will help to preserve the flavor and texture of the crawfish.
  • Serve the crawfish with your favorite sides. Crawfish can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, corn on the cob, and potatoes.

Conclusion:

Crawfish chili is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a party or a casual meal. With its unique flavor and texture, crawfish chili is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
