Cajun French: l’arbre (l’arb) – tree
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me – a crawfish in a fig tree.
In reality we had a crawfish casserole with a fig salad. Figs are a popular fruit in south Louisiana except they are not available fresh at Christmas time. So we used dried figs and reconstituted them. The crawfish were frozen tails we had stored in the freezer. We always try to have frozen crawfish tails available for use and always Louisiana Crawfish Tails.
This is also a great recipe for using those Christmas leftovers. Almost any vegetable could be used as well as leftover rice.
Our gift to you for the First Day of Christmas.
Mais C’est Bon!
