Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb Bacon -- diced
2 cl Garlic -- minced
2 lg Onions -- diced
1 lg Green pepper -- diced
1 lg Red pepper -- diced
Crushed red pepper flakes
8 oz Okra -- sliced
6 oz Tomato paste
2 lb Catfish -- cubed
Salt
Pepper
2 1/2 c Canned diced tomatoes
3 c Fish stock
In a heavy bottomed soup pot, saute the bacon. As soon as it
starts to brown add the onion and diced green & red pepper. Cook
for about 5 minutes more. Add the diced tomatoes. Cook 5 minutes
more. Add the okra and the fish stock bring to a boil and reduce to
a simmer. Cook till soup starts to thicken (tomato paste can be
added at this point if desired). Add the cubed catfish and simmer
until fish is done. Season with salt & pepper. Pass the crushed red
pepper flakes.
Note: To spice up the soup add tabasco, green & red pepper. Can
also add crab, shrimp, oysters, chicken. Went out fishing the other
day and caught a few catfish too small to keep but this recipe came
to mind. It's real good when made spicy and served with cold beer.
