SPICY CRAWFISH BOULETTES
This appetizer/meal is a traditional Cajun dish served on menus across the south. Depending upon whether this dish is served as an appetizer or a main dish will determine the amount of servings. Here in the south, we serve 3 per appetizer and 5 per entree', unless you are like me. Then, you'll have about a dozen for yourself!...

Steps:
- 1. Place crawfish, onion, bellpepper, celery, parsley, and garlic into a food processor. Use the pulse option, and spin until crawfish pieces are approximately 1/4″.
- 2. In a large bowl, mix bread crumbs, egg, and Mr. Pete's Cajun Seasoning. In another pan, pour in Mr. Pete's Seasoned Cajun Oyster fry.
- 3. Using the mixture from the food processor, hand roll 12- 2″ balls. Dip balls into bread crumb, egg, and seasoning blend, then into Mr. Pete's Seasoned Cajun Oyster Fry. Coat balls thoroughly.
- 4. Heat your oil to 350 degrees. (I like to use a deep fryer to ensure the boulettes are cooked evenly, but you may pan fry them as well.) Place boulettes into oil, and fry until golden brown. Remove from fryer and drain on absorbent paper towels.***This dish can be served as an appetizer or as a meal, and with or without a seafood dip. This recipe yields approximately 12 balls.

Steps:
- Using a pestle and mortar, grind all the ingredients for the dersa to a rough paste.
- Chop the sardine fillets into small chunks and tip into a large bowl. Add the tomato, if using, herbs, the dersa and ¼ tsp each sea salt and black pepper, and mix well. The mixture will be quite wet.
- Shape the mixture into small fishcakes (about 50g each) and dust generously in the semolina or flour. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat, then fry the fishcakes on both sides for around 3 mins until golden brown. Serve two or three fishcakes per person with salad, if you like.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Fish: For the best results, use a firm-fleshed white fish like cod, haddock, or tilapia. These fish will hold their shape well during the cooking process and won't fall apart.
- Don't Overmix: When mixing the fish mixture, be careful not to overmix it. Overmixing can make the boulettes tough.
- Use Fresh Herbs and Spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to these boulettes. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Fry in Hot Oil: When frying the boulettes, make sure the oil is hot enough so that the boulettes will cook evenly and quickly.
- Serve Immediately: These boulettes are best served immediately after they are fried. They can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade.
