Etouffee question
Posted on 4/7/18 at 1:25 pm

I'll be making a batch of etouffee and freezing it to take with me to visit friends. My question is, should I add the green onions and parsley to the etouffee and then freeze, or freeze without them and add when the dish is about to be served? On one hand, I want the flavors to meld, but I don't want the greens to be a bunch of mush. What should I do? Perhaps both?

Add when you cool the dish for freezing.
You can reheat on location later and be ready to serve.

I would do as Otis suggested with some of the green onions and garnish. Then, once reheated, I would add more fresh just before serving. I do that with gumbo often and it works well.

You can even wait until you reheat it to add the crawfish. It will then be like fresh cooked.

Good point, but I really want everything all set to go and as easy as possible. I'll be vacuum sealing it and just dropping it in simmering water before breaking open the bag so that my hosts don't need to do any sort of cooking or cleanup. All they're going to be doing is making rice.
Good suggestions on both before and after as a garnish

My preference is fresh is best with green onions and parsley, though I do enjoy some of it "cooked" into the dish as well. "Cooked" has a different flavor to me than the fresh, so it's the best of both worlds.

Gotta love this site. I know you don't put any stock into votes GG, but with what Otis said, he gets a down vote, and at the same time you agree with what he said and get an up vote.

I made one last week and this is one dish that green onions really need to stand out.

That’s why no one should pay attention to votes! There are adults in age who act like children on this site.

Meaning don’t forget the green onions.
