Ingredients

Tartar sauce:

  • 2 dried chipotle peppers
  • 1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onions
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper

Crawfish Cakes:

  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon oil
  • 1 cup shelled crawfish tails
  • 2 tablespoons each chopped onion, red pepper and celery
  • 1/2 teaspoon chopped garlic
  • Creole spice
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • Chopped parsley, for garnish

Directions

Make tartar sauce: In a cast-iron skillet over high heat pan roast peppers, toasting them on all sides, until smoky and slightly charred. Chop finely. In a small bowl combine with remaining sauce ingredients. Adjust seasonings, to taste, with salt and pepper.

In a saute pan heat 1 teaspoon oil, add chopped onion, red pepper and celery, and toss and cook 2 minutes until tender. Remove pan from heat and add garlic, crawfish meat, and 1 teaspoon Creole spice or to taste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and set aside to cool. Mix in egg and enough bread crumbs for mixture to bind; adjust seasonings to taste with salt, pepper and Creole spice. Form into 4 equal patties and flatten to 3/4-inch thick. Heat remaining oil in a saute pan and cook cakes on both sides until brown and crispy. Serve garnished with parsley and a dollop of tartar sauce.

    This tartar sauce is awesome! I tried this tartar sauce with crab cakes and it is easy to make and very tastey. The receipe for the crawfish cakes is similar to his crabcake (which I made with this tartar sauce. I use this receipe as part of my Christmas Eve. dinner and everyone loves it.
