Ran across this sauce recipe yesterday and thought of you and your l/o fish. Denise, the tacos I made with the leftovers were just wonderful. Just an idea for you.

SPICY RUM SAUCE

Chef Joseph Carey, author of Creole Nouvelle, Contemporary Creole Cookery has graciously given permission for me to post a recipe from his book, that is just wonderful!

SPICY RUM SAUCE

1 med. red bell pepper, diced
1 med. yellow onion, diced
1 or 2 (I used 3) Jalapeno or Serrano peppers, minced
2 tsp. garlic minced
2 c. fresh pineapple, diced
3/4 c. dark rum
3/4 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar

In a non-reactive pan bring all ingredients to a boil.
Reduce to a simmer & cook for about 15 min.
Sauce should have thickened and all solids should be soft.

This was served over his Pecan Encrusted Catfish Filets and was a great combination.

And then...I always make enough catfish to have l/os, so the next night, I simmered the Rum sauce till it was almost dry, added chunked up catfish and tossed together (really gently) and served them in fried corn tortillas w/a little hot sauce to top it all off.

This sauce could be used on ice cream, any kind of fish, probably even a toasted muffin - if I had some left, I'd try this - it's that good! (Oh, and they probably would have been very good with the Chile Hush Puppies he recommended serving with the catfish - that will be next time.)

Shoot, I've promised I won't buy any fish/meat until the freezers are empty!!!
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
