Makes 2 pies
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter 2 garlic cloves

1 large onion

1/4 cup green onions, chopped fine

2 ribs celery, chopped fine

1 can cream of celery soup, condensed

4 tablespoons tomato sauce

1 cup parsley, chopped fine

1 cup bread crumbs

1 tablespoon salt

1 teaspoon red chili pepper

1 egg, beaten

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1 pound crawfish tails, whole

4 9-inch pie crusts (2 tops and 2 bottoms)
Line two pie pans with pastry sheets and trim edges. Prick bottoms with a fork.

OR use Puff Pastry (my personal favorite), 1 sheet in pie pan,Don't poke holes with Puff Pastery, streach to overlap sides as they WILL shrink, place in oven for pre bake for @ 20 min,400 degrees, pull out of oven, punch down crust (if not done at this point, put back in oven till golden brown, pull out and punch it down again) coat inside with egg white with brush, fill, cap with 1 sheet joining edges with same egg white used inside rim to "join" crust to crust. Don't trim or streach top crust, simply fold corners up and egg white them so they'll "flare out" as the pie cooks, then brush top crust with milk.

Saute onions, garlic, pepper and celery until soft. Use EVOO 3 tbs, Add soup, tomato sauce, crawfish and parsley. Cook over medium heat for 10 mintues.

Remove from heat add bread crumbs, salt, egg and cream, mixing thoroughly.

Spoon one half of the mixture into each of the two prepared pie pans. Top pies with remaining pastry sheets and cut vents or decorate as you like.

Bake 50-60 minutes in a 350f oven.

Let stand to cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Uhmm... glad to be of service? ??? ;)

this looks damn fine with the mud bugs. shrimps ought to be a suitable substitution though... or I can wait till I can get ahold of some more live bugs...

methinks this would be good with (as old Abe would say) some lizad-N-poke mash (ground up gator & pork sausage) in it too! (RIP Abe, you and your iron pot)

(When old Abe was cooking in that big old cast iron pot, you knew it was going to be good. Best not to ask what was in whatever he was cooking... oh, he'd give you the recipie, but you most likely *DIDN'T* want to know... best to just eat it and be happy. His "Brunswick Stew" was know to have anything from rabbit, racoon, and squirrel to rattlesnake, gopher turtle, and armadillo as meat. oh it was tasty though.)
