Louisiana Crawfish Crepes
Ingredients:
- 12 savory (unsweetened) crêpes
- 8 ounces fresh,
unseasoned goat cheese
- 3/4 ounce (about 1 1/2 tablespoons) minced shallots
- Pinch plus 1 tablespoon salt, in all
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/4 cup diced
green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely minced garlic
- 1/4 cup julienned
tomato
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Chardonnay
- 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
- 1 1/2
tablespoons Creole seasoning
- 1 cup fresh, peeled Louisiana crawfish tails
- 1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter
- 3 cups heavy cream
Directions:
- In a mixer, cream the goat cheese with the shallots, pinch
of salt, and pepper. Divide the filling between the 12 crêpes and roll the
crepes.
- Heat in a 350°F oven until the internal temperature is 145°F.
- Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Sauté the onions
and bell peppers; add the garlic, Creole seasoning, and remaining tablespoon
salt. Cook 2 minutes, then add tomatoes.
- Deglaze the pan with the wine
and add the heavy cream. Stir until smooth and continue to cook until the sauce
clings to the back of a spoon.
- Add the crawfish tails, and break the butter
into the sauce while stirring. When crawfish tails are cooked through and
butter is fully incorporated, remove sauce from heat.
- Place 2 crêpes on
each plate and pour the sauce over them
