FRIED CATFISH PIZZA
My friend YT2095 Always enjoys some type of pizza on Saturday’s for dinner.
I always enjoy fried Catfish for dinner on Saturdays. So I got this Idea for a Fried Catfish Pizza!
THE CRUST:
1- 12’ Store Bought Pizza Crust (Your favorite)
Brushed with EVOO and sprinkled liberally with Cajun/Creole Seasoning
THE SAUCE:
1 ½ Cups chopped onion
¾ Cup Chopped Green Bell Pepper
½ Cup Chopped Celery
2 Cups (more or less) Chopped Tomatoes.
3 toes Chopped Garlic
2-3 Tbls. Cajun/Creole Seasoning
2 Bay Leaves
1-2 Tbls Bacon fat
S&P to taste.
Sauté the onion, pepper, and celery in the bacon fat for 3 or 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, garlic, Cajun Seasoning and bay leaves. S&P to taste and simmer gently until the veggies are done. Use an immersion blender to make a nice sauce…a little chunky. Let it cool completely.
TOPPINGS.
12 oz shredded Mozzarella Cheese
4 oz Pepper Jack Cheese
1 Cup Cubed Frozen French Fries
Strips of Red and Gold Pepper
2 Green onions diced. Tops included
4 Tbls Chopped Parsley
8 Strips Fried Catfish
Flash Fry the Cubed Potatoes, drain and reserve. Start the Catfish frying in hot peanut oil Spread cooled sauce evenly over crust. Cover the sauce with shredded cheese. Place it in a pre-heated 400* oven for 6 minutes. Remove and sprinkle fried cubed potatoes over cheese and return to the oven. When the catfish is done remove and drain on paper towels. Flash fry the strips of pepper in hot oil for 30 seconds. Remove pizza from the oven. Arrange fish and peppers in a pinwheel design and garnish with Diced green onions, parsley, and a nice sprinkle of Cajun/Creole seasoning! Serve while hot!!!!
Go ahead and laugh. I had loads of fun making it, and it was good!!!
