Cayman Style Snapper Stew Recipes

RED SNAPPER STEW

Steps:

• Cook onion until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in broth, carrots, rice, lemon juice, salt, dill, thyme, and pepper.
• Heat to boiling then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until rice in tender, about 20 minutes.
• If using them, add sprouts here.
• Heat again until boiling, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
• Stir in fish and mushrooms.
• Simmer 5-8 minutes until fish flakes easily with a fork.

CAYENNE CHEESE STRAWS

Steps:

• Grate the cheese on the medium holes of a grater to make 4 cups. Cover the grated cheese and leave out with the butter until at room temperature, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. (Note: You need to grate your own cheese here--no pre-grated.)
• When ready to make the cheese straws, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or parchment paper.
• Mix the flour, salt, cayenne, mustard and black pepper in a medium bowl.
• Put the cheese and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until fairly smooth. Slowly beat in the flour mixture. Check the consistency; it should be just stiff enough to pipe. If not, add a little more flour.
• Scrape the dough into a piping bag or resealable plastic bag. Use a 1/4-inch tip or cut a 1/4-inch hole in the plastic bag. Pipe the dough onto the prepared baking sheets in 5- to 6-inch strips. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool on a rack.
