Stuffed merlitons

yep get some mirlitons early tomorrow morning and make shrimp mirliton casserole or stuffed mirlitons.

otherwise i see an etouffe

quote:

---

Cook up a dirty rice, add the shrimp, stuff IN the chicken thighs . Roast it off.

This board may call it sacrilege, but given we already have a standard dirty rice, I'm thinking your idea but stewing down tomatoes rice and peppers, then adding shrimp, then stuffing into pork loin instead of thighs. (My thighs are bone in)

I like.



As for mirliton, all the ones at rouses felt a little too firm. The casserole is a staple otherwise.

Thank you!

You wanna use all those ingredients?

If not I'd suggest a crawfish and andouille cornbread dressing. Only thing missing from your list is the cornbread. And I like to add tasso as well. If I don't make it every year I'd probably be shot.
