Consomme Des Ecrevisses Aux Truffles

Directions

Wash and purge crawfish in 3 quarts of salted water for 30 minutes.

Rinse and drain the crawfish and place them in another pot with 9 cups of water and chopped vegetables.

Bring to a boil and add seasonings.

Simmer for 30 minutes.

Do not boil too fast or the consomme will become cloudy.

Dip the crawfish out of the liquid and allow them to cool.

Strain the consomme.

When crawfish are cool enough to handle, remove meat from shells and return to the strained consomme just before serving.
