Pronounced "Coo-be-yon", this recipe is a spicey cajun fish stew which is served over rice. While I am sure it would be equally good with any other firm white fish, catfish is normally used.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups chicken broth (bouillon cubes is fine)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chilies
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup chopped green pepper
1 cup chopped celery
4 minced garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
creole seasoning, to taste (I use Creole Seasoning Mix in a Jar)
1 1/2-2 lbs catfish fillets

Steps:

  • In cast iron skillet, stir together the oil and flour until smooth.
  • This is called roux.
  • Cook roux over medium heat; stirring constantly until mixture turns a dark brown.
  • Be careful, because unstirred roux will burn easily.
  • When roux is ready, remove from heat and set aside.
  • Using a large pot or dutch oven, combine chicken broth and tomatoes over medium high heat.
  • Slowly add the cooked roux, stirring constantly until combined and thickened.
  • Add onions, green pepper, celery, garlic, bay leaves and thyme.
  • Bring to boil then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.
  • Cut fish into bite size pieces and sprinkle with Creole seasoning.
  • Add fish pieces to courtbouillon; they should be immersed in the liquid.
  • Cover and slow simmer about 15 minutes or until fish is done and flakes easily.
  • Serve Catfish Courtbouillon over rice in a bowl.

This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I think next time I'll use a milder chili pepper.
