Classic Catfish Sauce Piquant

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, sauté the onion, bell pepper and celery in the margarine until tender.

Step 2

Add the Rotel tomatoes and smother down (cook more) for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the roux and mix well.

Step 3

Add the tomato sauce. Also enough water or stock to make the mixture not too thick and not too runny. Simmer for 35 to 40 minutes.

Step 4

After 40 minutes, add the filets and cook another few minutes. Catfish doesn't take long to cook.

Step 5

Season with salt and more pepper to suit your taste. Serve over hot rice. Add a piece of Jalapeno cornbread and you have another Cajun classic.
