Crawfish Cornbread
Moist and crusty, with tasty flecks of crawfish tail meat and zippy peppers, this is a tempting, distinctive cornbread. I like to serve it warm alongside soups and stews for a memorable lunch or supper. —Eloise Waler, Rayville, Louisiana
Ingredients
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil, divided
- 1 to 2 medium jalapeno peppers, minced
