Recipe: "Pasilla Negro Catfish with Fennel Leek Slaw" | Arts & Culture

Go inside the kitchen with Dovetail's Chef Doug Sanneman and learn how to make Pasilla Negro Catfish Fennel Leek Slaw on Moonhanger Group's blog. Read on:

It's been awhile since we've posted a good recipe for everyone to try out, so I took Chef Doug into the kitchen and made him share one of his secrets with us.

He was nice enough to tell me how to make the Fennel Leek Slaw we top our scallops with and a fried catfish recipe that adds a little something special to the flavor. We'd love to hear how the recipe turns out for you when you try it! Enjoy.
