Time 50m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup butter
1 cup finely chopped onions
½ cup chopped green bell pepper
¼ cup chopped green onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup evaporated milk
1 (8 ounce) package processed cheese, cubed
½ teaspoon butter
2 (16 ounce) packages cooked and peeled whole crawfish tails
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
2 cups vegetable oil for frying
20 brown and serve pistolette rolls

Steps:

  • Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion, bell pepper, green onions, and garlic. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in the evaporated milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the processed cheese until melted. Reduce the heat to low, and keep the sauce warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1/2 teaspoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the crawfish tails and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Cajun seasoning. Cook and stir until the tails are hot and beginning to curl, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir the crawfish tails into the cheese sauce, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook the pistolette rolls in the hot oil until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to cool. Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit in one end of each roll, then use the handle of a spoon to create a pocket in the roll. Stuff the rolls with the crawfish mixture and serve immediately.

EASY CRAWFISH PISTOLETTES



Easy Crawfish Pistolettes image

I found the basic recipe for this online a few years ago. I omitted mushroom soup (not my thing), and added hot pork sausage, as a request from my boss at the time. Prep time is a guess (depending on the crawfish you use), but they're easy to make and i've never had leftovers!

PISTOLETTES



Pistolettes image

My family is from Louisiana (mom's side) and Pistolettes are very common there. A lot of them are stuffed with crawfish or shrimp and baked or fried. My Aunt Mary Jo gave me this recipe and it is really good. It makes 2 dozen rolls and can be frozen before cooking so you can take out what you need. A Pistolette is a roll. ...

Categories     Turkey

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb ground meat of your choice (i use hamburger or ground turkey 85/15)
1 onion, chopped
1 box frozen broccoli, chopped (thawed and drained)
16 oz velveeta cheese
1 can(s) rotel drained
10 oz fresh mushrooms chopped
2 dozen pistolette rolls
1 box frozen spinach, chopped (thawed and drained)

Steps:

  • 1. Chop mushrooms.
  • 2. Drain spinach and brocolli, cook according to package, drain and pat dry. (I put it on some paper towels and lay paper towels over it and pat dry.
  • 3. Saute the meat, onions and mushrooms. (Season with salt and pepper to your liking). Add drained rotel and saute a minute.
  • 4. cube Velveeta and add to pan with meat, onions, mushrooms and rotel until melted and mixed well.
  • 5. Remove from heat. Add in broccoli and spinach. Taste and season as desired. I like to add in a little spicy season mix (your choice) or some Cavender's.
  • 6. Cut a circle of the end of the roll out and remove the bread, saving the bread cap to put back on. Stuff each roll with the mixture and replace the roll top with a toothpick to secure it.
  • 7. Rub all over with butter and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. You can also freeze to cook later. I place them in a plastic freezer bag and just take out what I need. When you cook from them being frozen, pop them in the oven at 250 for 10 to 15 minutes, then bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

IMITATION CRAB SALAD PISTOLETTES RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Imitation Crab Salad Pistolettes Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 oz) package Louis Kemp Crab Delights (imitation crabmeat) (I used Flake Style)
2-3 tablespoons finely chopped celery (1 skinny rib)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
3 to 4 drops liquid crab boil, optional (I used Zatarain's)
1/2 cup real mayonnaise (I used Blue Plate)
2-3 tablespoons half and half or heavy cream
4-6 pistolette rolls (or French bread rolls)

Steps:

  • Separate the crab into chunks; then place into a food processor and pulse a few times with the steel blade until desired texture is reached. (I like to leave a few chunks) Pour into a mixing bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Adjust seasonings to taste, and adding more mayo/cream for desired creaminess. Split the rolls in the center (not all the way through to the back side) and hollow out some of the bread, if desired, (I forgot to do this) then fill with the crab mixture. (Add lettuce and thinly sliced tomato, if desired).
