Corn And Crawfish Pot Pie Food

CRAWFISH POT PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Bake the puff pastry on a baking sheet until all puffy and delicious, about 10 minutes. Set aside and increase oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Drain the crawfish tails and squeeze excess liquid out. (Wet tails can effect the thickness of the finished sauce.)
• In a pot of salty water, cook the potatoes until they are softened but have a little crunch still left in them, then drain and set aside.
• Add the turnips to a pot of BOILING salty water. Cook until softened, then drain and run under cold water. Set aside.
• In a medium saucepan (big enough to hold all the ingredients), melt the butter. When the butter is melted and bubbling, add the flour and blend in with a whisk. Keep whisking on medium heat for 5 minutes (do not brown, you are just cooking some of the floury flavor out).
• Add the stock and cream, then increase heat to medium-high. DO NOT STOP STIRRING. As it heats up the mixture will get thicker. Add the Worcestershire, porcini powder, hot sauce, and salt, pepper and Creole/Cajun seasoning to taste. Cook until the bechamel mixture is thickened and bubbly, then add the drained crawfish and mix in. Cook, stirring, until the mixture returns to a boil. (If the mixture needs more thickening you can do it with a mixture of flour and butter, a tablespoon at a time, waiting for it to return to a boil each time. This is as thick as it's gonna get.)
• Add the peas and carrots, pearl onions, potatoes and turnips. Stir gently, so as not to break up the potatoes and turnips.
• Spoon the mixture in vessel of your choice and top with the cooked puff pastry. Put the whole thing back into the oven.
• Have a beverage. Cook until and bubbly and the puff pastry is starting to brown. Garnish with fresh parsley and/or dill. Serve with lemon wedges and hot pepper infused vinegar.
