Also, one can purchase tomato sauce with no salt added. Or make your own. And add seasonings that are not blended with salt. You can do it! It's the heart of the recipe here that counts.

This was absolutely delicious, though I doubled the amount of Creole seasoning for a little extra kick. But 30 minutes is an extremely optimistic projection. Just prepping the onions, peppers, and garlic took 20 minutes, and the sauce took a good 45 minutes. Worth every minute.

I had no Lawry's or Creole seasoning so made my own with fresh basil, oregano, thyme and a host of other ingredients. Very easy.

I’m from St. Thomas and there nothing quite as delicious as fish and fungi! Too bad they didn’t include the fungi part but it’s not too difficult to make. Just think polenta.

This also made a huge amount of sauce, I plan to freeze the extra.

Delicious. reminded us of the snapper you can find in the LoLo's in St. Martin. The recipe makes a ton of sauce. Luckily it freezes and well and is equally good on eggs.

Actually I think recipe substitutions are illegal

Delicious! I got some fresh snapper from the farmer’s market and used local seasoning mix similar to lawrys (had habanero too). It came out incredible! Also made some rice, couldn’t resist. Worth it!

This is an excellent and fairly easy recipe as written. Just be realistic about how long it takes to sweat aromatics to "starting to brown": This takes at least 20 minutes at medium heat. I covered the pan for 5-10 minutes to jump start the sweating and the removed the lid to evaporate the liquid for like another 10 min so that the browning can begin.

This was super good!! Love the flavors with one of my favorite fish. So, I tried to follow closely - here are some things I did differently due to access to ingredients. I pureed diced tomatoes to make "sauce". I used rice vinegar. Made my own Creole seasoning from Vallery Lomas. The result was delicious!! The only thing I'll change next time is to reduce the water added. I felt it wasn't as thick as I'd like.

This is really good. The most time consuming part of the recipe is chopping the vegetables but no big deal. Probably 20 minutes tops. It’s totally worth it!

There should be some celery in there too....I was taught a trick to put a small sachet of pickling spice in the sauce too.....you might like it!

I used baked sole because it looked good at the store. The sauce was lovely and very versatile

what is creole seasoning? can we make it instead of Lawry's
Prakash Nadkarni
RE: Creole seasoning recipeafricanbites.com/creole-seasoning/There are other recipes with added salt; I prefer this one because I like to add salt to taste.You can possibly simplify the recipe by using one kind of pepper (I don't keep white pepper around) and one kind of chili pepper based on your heat preference.
