Oven baked eggs oozing their liquid sunshine and swimming in a sea of smoked tasso-infused cream is a thing of beauty, and taste. I’ve made this easy breakfast dish for years, and it still astounds me how flavorful and straightforward this Cajun recipe is. In my travels across France, I recall dining on traditional oeufs…
Donut Bread Pudding
When it comes to bread pudding, a Louisiana boy like me is hard pressed to resist. After all, bread pudding is a tradition in these parts and who am I to break tradition? But there’s a new Cajun recipe spin on the ubiquitous dessert that’s making the rounds in local restaurant circles, and it’s a…
Smothered Pork Chops in La La Land
“So Dad, would you like an acai bowl?” “Huh?” “Acai! You know what that is, right?” “Nope. Can’t say that I do, Lauren.” “C’mon Dad, it’s a berry harvested from a palm tree, and it’s mixed in a bowl with yogurt and granola, and well, it’s all the rage in the Valley. I’ll bet you…
Boudin Quiche
Oh, I love it so. Rich, farm fresh eggs from Gotreaux Family Farm’s hen house gently encases spicy, ricey Cajun boudin spiked with the holy trinity of vegetables, all neatly baked in a crumbly piecrust. This easy Cajun recipe is the perfect breakfast, lunch, or dinner dish; as good when hot out of the oven…
Crawfish Dip in a French Bread Skillet
This over-the-top presentation of spicy crawfish dip surrounded by crusty French bread rolls all baked together in a cast-iron skillet is a rock star appetizer. The piping hot rolls, buttered and sprinkled with Parmesan, are ablaze with spicy flavor when topped with the creamy crawfish dip. This Cajun recipe is sure to impress. I stumbled…
Crown Roast of Pork with Apple Zucchini Rice Dressing
On my Acadiana table, there is no more dramatic presentation than a crown roast of pork in all its regal glory. This cut of meat always wows your guests for several reasons. Beyond the center-of-the-table showcase for the roast, the meat surrounding the bone is always juicy and flavorful. And the thickness of the chops…
Oyster-Stuffed Mushrooms
Stuffed mushrooms are the stuff of dreams. It’s the earthiness of these mushrooms with a rich creamy, liqueur-infused spinach stuffing spiked with fresh Gulf oysters and a pungent hit of Cajun spice that sends me into a dream state. Oh yes! In previous Cajun recipes, I’ve stuffed over-sized portobellos in entrée-size portions, but these days…
Teal Stuffed with Mustard Greens and Sweet Potatoes
This recipe combines everything I love about the glorious Cajun foodways I write about. This dish takes flight in a tough wild duck stuffed with aromatics, greens, and the sweet kiss of Louisiana yams. It’s slow-simmered in a spicy stock just long enough for the meat to yield its tenderness into a cauldron of rich,…
Pure Vegetable Soup
Ok, I’ll admit it: I grew up eating vegetable soup out of a can and at the time, I liked it. You know the kind I’m talking about—the alphabet noodle kind. I’m not proud of it and as I grew into adulthood, I came to realize how disgusting the tin can taste of that mushy…
Cheesy Corn Casserole
Fresh-shucked and cut off the cob, this corn casserole is a masterwork of balance in taste and texture. A hint of Cajun spice plays against the sweetness, and the creamy cheese oozes texturally with the crunchy contrast of aromatic onion, bell pepper, and celery. But the real genius of this Cajun recipe is the lighter-than-air…
