Creole Redfish Court-bouillon Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by á-114543

Number Of Ingredients 21

1/2 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow onions, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup dry sherry
5 cups fish stock or shrimp stock
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with their juices
1 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
6 (6 ounce) redfish or trout fillets, cut in 1/2 on the diagonal
2 tablespoons olive oil, as needed
2 teaspoons Emeril's Original Essence, or other Creole seasoning
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups cooked long-grain white rice, for servings
Fresh parsley leaves or green onion, chopped, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a Dutch oven or large, heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add the flour, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, stirring constantly with a large wooden spoon, to make a roux the color of peanut butter, about 15 minutes. Add the onions, bell peppers, and celery, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the garlic and bay leaves, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Place the tomato paste in a small bowl and whisk in the sherry to blend. Add to the pot, and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the stock, whisking to blend. Add the tomatoes and their juices, the sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and cook, stirring, occasionally, for 20 to 25 minutes. Whisk in the butter, bit by bit, until incorporated. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust seasoning, if necessary. Preheat a grill to medium. To grill the fish, brush the fish all over with the olive oil and season the fish with the Essence. Grill the fish, basting occasionally with additional olive oil for about 8 minutes. Turn the fish and grill briefly on the second side. Return the court bouillon to the heat, add the fish, and simmer about 3 to 4 minutes longer. To serve, spoon 1/2 cup of rice into the center of six large soup bowls and divide the red fish court-bouillon equally among them. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley or green onion.

LOUISIANA COURT-BOUILLON (OR CAJUN COURT BOUILLON)



Louisiana Court-Bouillon (Or Cajun Court Bouillon) image

Fish stews are common around the Gulf Coast, but a court-bouillon (pronounced coo-bee-on) is special. I recall my dad spending the better part of a Saturday brewing up a batch of this classy elixir. This is a variation of a Nola Cuisine recipe based on catfish.

Time 1h

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup olive oil
½ cup all-purpose flour

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest fish possible: Redfish is a delicate fish, so it's important to start with the freshest fish you can find. Look for fish that is bright red in color and has a firm, elastic texture.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Courtbouillon is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. You can use any vegetables you like, but some good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and tomatoes.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When you add the fish to the pot, make sure there is enough room for the fish to swim around freely. If the pot is too crowded, the fish will not cook evenly.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Courtbouillon should be simmered, not boiled. Boiling will toughen the fish.
  • Season to taste: Courtbouillon should be seasoned to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine for extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Courtbouillon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a courtbouillon that is sure to impress your family and friends.
