My thoughts:

All-clad is hosting a fun competitor for recipe bloggers. The winner gets their recipe inserted inward all 10” small-scale pan boxes sold at authorized All-Clad dealers. How keen would that be? I idea I'd instruct amongst a nearly one-skillet repast (I used the rice cooker for the rice) hence I created this recipe using 1 of favorite foods, catfish, together with role the simplified roux technique I came upward amongst years ago. I used bacon fatty every bit the base of operations because it adds flavor together with a for certain oomph to to the lastly dish but if yous are a baconphobe or don't choose whatever on hand, butter plant only every bit well, I promise. The play a joke on to is to lightly brownish the flour hence toss inward the vegetables together with travel along cooking them hence the vegetables instruct golden together with the flour keeps cooking. Add the liquid together with it thickens, only every bit it would if yous made a traditional roux. Easy-peasy! The catfish cooks pretty chop-chop hence yous tin instruct the whole dish finished together with on the tabular array inward non much to a greater extent than than thirty minutes. The lastly dish isn't also spicy but it is rattling flavorful thank yous to the 2 kinds of peppers together with the demeanour upon of ramps at the end.
