I made this for a work potluck. Everyone was surprised to find out it had catfish in it. Got many requests for the recipe. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs catfish fillets |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine, melted |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
8 slices bacon |
1 cup chopped green bell pepper |
3/4 cup chopped onion |
1 (28 ounce) can tomatoes, chopped and undrained |
1 1/2 cups water |
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice, uncooked |
1 (2 ounce) jar diced pimentos, undrained (optional) |
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste) |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Put catfish fillets into a lightly greased oblong baking dish.
2. Drizzle with melted butter and lemon juice.
3. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
4. Drain fish, place in a bowl and flake with a fork.
5. Cook bacon in a skillet; transfer to paper-towel lined plate to drain; crumble and set aside.
6. Reserve 2 tablespoons bacon drippings in skillet.
7. Add green pepper and onion to bacon drippings; cook, stirring constantly, until tender.
8. Add in bacon, tomatoes, water, rice, pimentos, and salt and pepper; bring to a boil.
9. Cover, lower heat, and simmer 25 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed.
