Hi Anne,
See below for three recipes.
Phaed
Crawfish Bisque
(4 Servings)
Ingredients
1 - 1/2 cup crawfish tails
1 - 1/2 pint cold water
1/4 cup cooking oil
1 pint cold water mixed with 1/2 cup crawfish fat
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 small onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1 stick celery, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper
1 clove garlic, mashed
1 tablespoon green onion
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
3/4 cup whole tomatoes, canned or fresh, chopped
Instructions
In a heavy bottomed pot, make a roux by adding flour to heated oil, over low
heat, stir constantly until a deep golden brown; take pot away from heat for
fear of burning; add onion, garlic and celery; cook about 5 minutes or until
tender; stir; return to heat and add 1 pint of water, tomatoes, sugar, salt
and pepper; cook over high heat, stirring until sauce simmers; then reduce
heat again.
While sauce is simmering, combine remaining water with crawfish fat in a
large saucepan, cook over high heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a
boil.
Add sauce to fat and water, let simmer 1 hour. Season with salt and pepper
again if needed. Add crawfish tails, green onion and parsley. Serve in soup
plate over a scoop of cooked rice.
Cooking Tip: Crawfish bisque improves in flavor if made ahead of serving
time, and chilled. However, do not add crawfish tails, parsley and green
onions until ready to serve.
Cooking Tip: Crawfish tails toughen and get dark if overcooked, only cook
5 minutes, they are somewhat like egg, shrimp, and oysters

to a boil.
In a heavy gauge pot, heat oil until very hot. Add flour, stirring

liquid through a food mill, strain and add 1/2 of the liquid to the roux and

Hello Sherry,

recipes are very close.
Phaed
Smoked Turkey
1 c. tender quick salt
1/2 c. brown sugar
5 tsp. liquid smoke
1 gal. water (or amount to cover pieces)
1 turkey, chicken or turkey legs
Add all together and keep in covered container in refrigerator. Let stand
for 24 hours. When ready to roast, rinse off turkey and roast 2 hours at 350
degrees (whole bird) and then lower oven to 300 degrees until turkey is
done. Turkey legs, pork chops, steaks and roasts can also be used this way.
Adjust roast times for different cuts.
NOTE: These would also be delicious made in a smoker or slowly grilled over
indirect heat.

Another Brine Recipe
1 cup of Tender Quick
1 cup of Table Salt
10 1/2 TBLS of liquid smoke
2 gallons of water

Hello Phyllis,
See below.
Phaed
Chili's Grill And Bar Southwestern Egg Rolls
1 chicken breast fillet
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons minced red bell pepper
2 tablespoons minced green onion
1/3 cup frozen corn
1/4 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
2 tablespoons frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 tablespoons diced, canned jalapeno peppers
1/2 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash cayenne pepper
3/4 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
5 (7-inch) flour tortillas
Avocado-Ranch Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup smashed, fresh avocado (about half of an avocado)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons white vinegar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Dash dried dill weed
Dash garlic powder
Dash pepper
Garnish
2 tablespoons chopped tomato
1 tablespoon chopped onion
Preheat barbecue grill to high heat.
Rub chicken breast with some vegetable oil then grill it on barbecue for 4
to 5 minutes per side or until done.
Lightly salt and pepper each side of chicken while it cooks. Set chicken
aside until it cools down enough to handle.
Preheat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a medium-size skillet over
medium-high heat. Add red pepper and onion to pan and sauté for a couple
minutes until tender. Dice cooked chicken into small cubes and add it to
pan. Add corn, black beans, spinach, jalapeno peppers, parsley, cumin, chili
powder, salt, and cayenne pepper to pan. Cook for another 4 minutes; stir
well so that spinach separates and is incorporated into mixture. Remove pan
from heat and add cheese; stir until cheese is melted.
Wrap tortillas in a moist cloth and microwave on high temperature for 1 1/2
minutes or until hot. Spoon approximately one-fifth of mixture into center
of a tortilla. Fold in ends and then roll tortilla over mixture. Roll
tortilla very tight, then pierce with a wooden pick to hold together.
Repeat with remaining ingredients until you have five egg rolls. Arrange egg
rolls on a plate, cover plate with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4
hours or overnight.
While egg rolls freeze, prepare Avocado-Ranch Dipping Sauce by combining all
of ingredients in a small bowl.
Preheat 4 to 6 cups of oil to 375 degrees F.
Deep fry egg rolls in hot oil for 12 to 15 minutes and remove to paper
towels or a rack to drain for about 2 minutes.
Slice each egg roll diagonally lengthwise and arrange on a plate around a
small bowl of dipping sauce. Garnish dipping sauce with chopped tomato and
onion.
