Southern Style Catfish

[Pondadat]

The food police will be out to get me when they read this one. I had this today a friend gave me some for lunch. I love southern cooking and the food is the best I ever had. These people add alot of flavor to their food. I mean southern people can cook there buns off. :icon_mrgr

I had this catfish and my friend gave me the link to get the recipe. Im still looking for the grits recipe. You don't know what grits are? Im looking it up, so we all can know. I know they taste good with anything.

Mouthwatering Fried Catfish



Ingredients:

Enough catfish fillets for 3 or 4 medium
pieces per person.
1 cup Yellow Corn Meal (This should be enough
to coat the catfish fillets)
2 teaspoons Lawry's Seasoned Salt
Crisco or your favorite vegetable cooking oil.
(Enough to cover the catfish).

(I use a deep fryer although a frying pan will
work just as well)


The secret to fried catfish is cooking
it at just the right temperature to
seal in the moisture and flavor. When
you first drop it into the grease you
want to seal it and then cook it.

You can use fresh catfish fillets, or
you can use the farm raised variety
available in the supermarket freezer section.


Rinse the fillets thoroughly and then
pat dry with a paper towel. If using fresh
catfish, skin the catfish and then wash
thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel.

Roll the fresh, catfish fillets in
a mixture of corn meal and Lawry's
Seasoned Salt. If you cannot find
Lawry's Seasoned Salt, then your favorite
seasoned salt will have to do. It's
just that Lawry's Seasoned Salt is a
southern favorite. A quick way to coat
the fish in the corn meal and season
mixture is to place it in a plastic bag
and just shake it.

Drop into deep fryer at 325 degrees.
Fry until it turns golden brown, about
5 minutes. Dump onto paper towel and
allow to drain.

Serve with collard greens, macaroni
and cheese, cole slaw and hush puppies.

Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

I love how they cook here and I love to try new foods all the time. At home we tend to eat more traditional foods that my mom likes to cook. I will post a few recipes that we cook.

Baked Beans On Toast

(6 servings)

11-ounce can of baked beans
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon dried sage




Heat the beans in a sauce pan. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the sage in butter for 1 minute. Add to the beans, mix well and serve on hot, buttered toast.


This is huge in England. Baked beans are part of a traditional breakfast.


My recipes come from several backgrounds and that is the composition of my family which is diverse. I will post what we normally cook sometimes. I however dont cook much although I do know how to cook. But I will cook sometimes on Sunday.
