Crayfish Cardinal

Recipe Ingredients

1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	Green onions - chopped
1 tablespoon	15ml	Roux - dry - blond
1/4 cup	59ml	White wine - dry
1/4 cup	59ml	Skim milk
2 teaspoons	10ml	Tomato paste
1/8 teaspoon	0.6ml	Black pepper - freshly ground
1		Cayenne
4 oz	113g	Crayfish tails - washed and cooked

Recipe Instructions

Cook the green onion is a heavy saucepan over medium heat for 2 minutes while stirring regularly.

Blend the "roux" with the wine, then stir into the milk. Add this mixture to the saucepan with the green onion. Add the tomato paste, pepper, and cayenne.

Simmer for 2 minutes.

Add the crayfish tails and simmer for 2 minutes more, or until hot. Serve in heated ramekins.

NOTE: Keep stirring the onions while you are cooking them so nothing sticks to the pan and burns.

Variation: Crab and shrimp substituted for the crayfish both make excellent versions of this dish.
