INSTRUCTIONS
FOR SAUCE FOR COOKING FOR SAUCE: In a two quart heavy sauce pan, melt butter over medium high heat. Saute onions, celery, bell pepper, garlic and bay leaves until vegetables are wilted, approximately three to five minutes. Add tomato sauce and fish stock, bring to a low boil, reduce to simmer and cook thirty minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar, thyme, basil, green onions and parsley. Continue to cook ten additional minutes and season to taste using salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside. FOR COOKING: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place catfish fillets in an ovenproof casserole dish large enough to hold the four fillets. Sprinkle the shrimp evenly over the top of the fillets. Spoon the Creole sauce generously until fish and shrimp are well covered. Place covered baking dish in oven and cook approximately thirty minutes or until fish is done. Heat rice under hot tap water and place an equal amount in the center of each serving plate. Serve catfish Creole on top of white rice and garnish with chopped parsley. This dish may also be served over pasta. From Gemini's MASSIVE MealMaster collection at www.synapse.com/~gemini
A Message from our Provider:
“If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss. #Bryan Chapell”
