James's Crawfish Balls

2 lb Peeled crawfish tails 
1 x Onion, chopped, small dice 
1 x Bell pepper, chopped, small dice 
3 x Jalapenos, chopped/minced 
4 slc Stale bread 
2 tbs Crawfish fat (if avail.) 
1 x Egg, beaten (may use egg substitute...if you must) 
3 tbs Chopped parsley 
3 tbs Scallions 
2 tsp Oregano, dry (variable and can be omitted) 
    Salt to taste 
    Black pepper to taste 
    Cayenne to taste 
1 1/2 cup Bread crumbs (plain) 

 Method : 
Grind crawfish tails, onions, bell pepper, jalapenos, and bread slices in food processor.
Add seasonings, crawfish fat, egg, parsley, and scallions; mix well.
Shape into balls the size of a walnut and roll in bread crumbs.
Bake 20 minutes at 350 degrees.
NOTE: can be frozen after rolling in bread crumbs and baked without thawing, but due to the crawfish fat, do not keep frozen longer than one week. The fat will turn rancid quickly.
NOTE: crawfish fat may be omitted.

Put yourself in a state of mind where you say to yourself, 'Here is an opportunity for you to celebrate like never before, my own power, my own ability to get myself to do whatever is necessary.'
