Crawfish Etouffee


1 bunch green onions
1 medium yellow onion
1 half-cup chopped celery (with leaves)
1 half-cup chopped parsley
2 Tblsp. oil
1 stick (1/4 lb.) butter
4 Tblsp. flour
1 lb. peeled crawfish tails (with fat, if available)
2-3 large cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper (black and red)

Chop onions. Save tops of green onions for later.
Melt butter and combine with oil in heavy skillet over medium heat.
Add flour, stir. Cook roux, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until light brown.
Add onions, celery and parsley. Cook til onions are clear.
Add crawfish, stir, season with garlic, salt and peppers.
Add enough water (or stock) to make a rather thick soupy mixture.
Cover and simmer over low heat about 15 minutes.
Stir in chopped green onion tops.
Serve over rice.

Bon Appetit.
