    I like how Jack added the view of the pot, while keeping the chef telling his stories in the larger view, and didn't put in a cut until it had started to go brown. An excellent balance, the chef's stories are central and interesting, but we can also keep an eye on how the making of the brown roux progresses.

    I loved Justin Wilson’s program. I’ll never forget his “story” about a young woman bringing her first child - a girl - to her beloved older brother and asked him to name her. He thought for a moment and then pronounced, “Denise!” The mother was overjoyed and agreed that Denise was the perfect Creole name for her daughter. The following year, she had her second child, this time a boy. She presented him to her brother and breathlessly asked, “What shall I name him?” Without hesitation, he replied, “De Nephew!”

      I remember another of his stories. There was a Cajun fisherman out in his little boat on the bayou, fishing for his dinner. There was a stump sticking out of the water, and there was a pecan nut on top of it. A squirrel in a branch of a tree overhanging the bayou was looking at the nut, and finally jumped down to get it. Then the squirrel realized he couldn't jump back to the branch, and after a few seconds of indecision, jumped into the water with the nut in his mouth. An alligator surfaced and got him. The fisherman pondered the order of nature for a while, concluding that random things like that make the world what it is. Then he saw the alligator swim up and put the nut back on the stump.

    Hi Jean-Pierre, my wife and I love your videos. Your recipes and cooking skills are fantastic. This was the first time we saw you making a roux which reminded me that you haven't made an egg drop soup video yet! We make it very frequently the Hungarian way so it has ground paprika and ground caraway seeds in it with a roux base. We would love to see you making it. Cheers and keep making these fantastic videos.

    I grew up watching, on PBS (no Food Network back then), Julia Child (The French Chef), Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet), and Justin Wilson (The Cajun Cook). Those three, along with my mother and grandmother of course, helped me develop my love of cooking and led me on the 40 year path from Dishwasher to Executive Chef. And yes, I still love watching other Chefs like you, because you can never learn too much. I have made Ettoufee with about everything but crawfish, because I can't get fresh crawfish. I live in a state that prohibits the importation of fresh crawfish and I've shied away from using cooked, frozen tails. Now, I guess I'll have to try it. Time to make out a shopping list . . .

    Ma used to keep a jar of peanut butter next to the pan for roux color comparison. I do it today and it works like a charm! I don't mean to be the recipe police, but as soon as the tomatoes and herbs get added, we would call this crawfish creole (which I actually prefer to Etouffee). Love you chef.

  • @swankmode
    @swankmode Год назад +10

    Looking good, chef. I like to use a butter roux in my etouffee and add thyme. Save the oil for dark roux. If the frozen tails are too fishy, I'll spike it with some extra butter and fresh lemon juice. Leftover boiled tails are the best as the extra spice they bring takes it over the top.

I was so glad to see you making a crawfish etouffèe and was also happy that you told us the difference between a true cajun etouffée and a Creole etouffèe. When I make an etouffèe I make it the same with a little bit darker roux and no tomatoes but have had it both ways. Your my favorite chef of all time other then Julia Child(may God rest her soul) thank you so much for your videos and for who you are. I hope someday to have the honor of meeting you.

    I am from South Louisiana and have both Cajun and Creole cooks in my family. There is no “correct” way to cook an Étouffée. You are right about the tomato’s, that is a real differentiation. Every family has their own individual version of this dish and people who grow up eating it will consider it the best. You could probably do a series of videos just on versions of Crawfish Étouffée.
    For example, many people do not use a roux to make Crawfish Étouffée. They use a flour slurry or other thickening agent. But, many, many other variations exist.

    Thanks for another exciting episode. The last time that I made Crawdad Etouffee I cooked my trinity and made a dark nutty rue, had a few pounds of live crawdads but I did not salt water purge them long enough. Well, I ended up with the best tasting sand ever. You gots to get that sand out of them. If they are frozen, which we have at the store, they were likely purged but still clean em best you can with plain water. The same goes with escargot. If live, feed them damp corneal with some herbs for a Few days. BTW the snails you find in the garden are the same ones brought here from France although they tend to be smaller. And a lot less expensive than getting them at a restaurant. Lastly, as a kid we used to snag crawdads in the creeks and lakes with our fishing poles by the bucket full. The wild ones are far larger than the one’s you buy. They are like small lobsters and taste even better.

    • @StarTraveler649
      @StarTraveler649 Год назад

    GOO AR AN TEE! He was quite enjoyable to watch! The other day I bought Equadorian Shrimp. When cooked, their backs turned orange and the underside was white - two different colors. And there's no crawfish here, either, excepting as kids my brother would find them in lakes but I don't know if they can be eaten.
    PBS recently aired a short video of the famed Escoffier who defined French cuisine and
    created Melba Toast and Peach Melba. I got the two names mixed up, thinking perhaps this was named for him but - today, I woke up with the ambition to make your cheesecake!

    I always put my celery and bell pepper before my onion because I want them to cook longer so the flavor changes. I’m not wild about green bell pepper or celery but when cooked long enough, till super tender, their flavor changes to one I like. Shrimp stock is a must. I have done with chicken broth but shrimp stock really elevates the flavor. Growing up I loved watching Justin Wilson on PBS.

    Hey Chef! For the roux, i found that switching to a flat-edged, wooden spatula makes it a bit easier to gently scrape the bottom of the pot, to ensure that there are no missed spots that'd be more prone to burning. (i would still alternate between spatula and whisk though).

    Absolutely love your idea of a little bit of garlic. It’s exactly how much I like, just a little bit of a couple tablespoons.😋

    I taught myself how to cook from "Paul Prudhomme's Louisiana Kitchen." I've made his Étouffée several times. The word "epic" doesn't even do it justice. I'm going to make this recipe though because, as Chef Jean-Pierre pointed out, the Cajun version contains quite a bit of black, white and cayenne pepper - way too much heat for most folks, including my wife. I will, of course, look up the clarified butter video in order to skip the oil for the roux. I'll also buy two pounds of shrimp instead so I can use the shells to make the shrimp stock. Looking forward to it. Thanks!

    From my experience with creole/Cajun cooking, the hardest part is making your brown roux only because of the time requirement for it. Once that gets going, it starts going as Chef demonstrated.

      Making roux is more trouble than it is worth. Try using Heinz Roasted Turkey Gravy instead. It is much easier, and you won't have the buildup of garbage in your arteries which lead to strokes.

      @@kentseifert6249 It takes me 20-25 minutes to make my gumbo roux or roast beef gravy. I like it a shade darker than peanut butter. I usually don't do ANYTHING else, even drinking, while making the roux. I scrape the bottom and edges of pot with my flat wooden spoon continuously bc the flour will burn if you take your eyes off of it for a second. It's worth it to me. It creates a flavor unlike anything else.
