Let’s Go to New Orleans! (Class only)

Turn up the tunes and come on down to the South, y’all! Let’s Go to New Orleans! We’ll be fixin’ and servin’ up some Hipcooksified favorites with good ol’ Southern hospitality.

There’s no pomp and circumstance to this party. We’ll fix us some Hipcooks Étouffée and Cornbread for smotherin’ — so go grab a frosty one and join us for class! Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Ingredients for Étouffée

2 pounds shrimp*
1 quart seafood stock** or chicken stock
1 stick (4 ounces) butter
flour (or use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend: Bob’s Red Mill works great)
a medium onion
1 large green bell pepper
1 bunch scallions
4 celery spears
4 cloves garlic
tomato paste
a few sprigs of fresh thyme
bay leaves
white pepper
cayenne pepper
dried oregano
dried thyme

*If you don’t eat seafood, make your Étouffée with chicken stock and serve over the protein of your choice: chicken thigh, pork chop, or catfish

** You can purchase seafood stock, or if you buy shell-on shrimp, we’ll send you an easy recipe to make your own delicious stock from the shells. (This will be provided as part of the class prep)

Ingredients for Cornbread

corn oil (you’ll need a little more than half a cup)
milk (2½ cups)
4 eggs
2 cups fine yellow cornmeal
sugar
flour
baking powder

There will be a bit of prep involved before class — we’ll send you a prep list after you sign up for class.
