Yats Spinach Mushroom Etouffee Recipe

by | Aug 8, 2021 | Recipes

It’s time to try something different, something a bit more traditional. A dish that comes to mind is Etouffee, pronounced eh-too-fey, a dish that comes from Louisiana, United States. The original recipe has shrimp and crawfish in it, but today we’ll be forgoing the usual seafood and instead, we’ll be using mushrooms and spinach. The Cajun and Creole seasoning will keep the authenticity intact. Let’s make the Yats spinach mushroom etouffee recipe.

Instructions
 

  • We will first make the vegan cream of mushroom and celery soup

Vegan cream of mushroom soup(4 cups)

  • In a non-stick pan, over medium heat saute the garlic, mushrooms and onions in butter

  • Similar to the above directions, saute the onions, garlic, and celery in butter over medium heat, in a non-stick pan

  • In a deep pan heat up the butter over medium to high heat
  • Saute garlic, onion, and green pepper
  • Mix in the spices and soups, combine well
  • Add spinach and mushrooms, reduce the flame and continue to stir
  • Let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, the soupy concoction will thicken
  • If the etouffee is too thick for your liking add a bit of water
  • When the creamy consistency is reached, turn off the stove and remove it from flame

  • You can garnish the etouffee with parsley and lemon wedges

There you have it, a vegan take on Louisiana’s Culinary History! The word etouffee is derived from French and means “to smother”. Makes sense as we’re drowning our side dish in a creamy concoction. The first etouffee was served in the 1920s at Louisiana’s Herbert Hotel by Mrs. Herbert. The original recipe contained crawfish tails, crawfish fat, and onions, the dish has evolved greatly since then.
