A Taste of Louisiana with Chef John Folse & Co.
Turtle Soup/Commander’s Palace
Season 12
Episode 1212
This week Chef Folse prepares Snapping Turtle - a rare delicacy that boasts seven different flavors of meat. The first recipe, Turtle Sauce Patot (with potatoes) begins with a dark roux, and then the meat is added. Onions, celery, peppers, garlic and potatoes are incorporated along with turtle stock. Finally, fresh eggs are broken directly into the stew and served over French bread.
