Pecan-Smoked Lamb Shanks with Sweet Potato Risotto

October 17, 2016 by George Graham 6 Comments

Pecan-Smoked Lamb Shanks with Sweet Potato Risotto

At the first sign of cold weather, most men instinctively crave large slabs of meat. Not sure why. Maybe the caveman in all of us, or the need to store up protein for a long winter hibernation. Or maybe I’m just overthinking this. Yes, come to think about it, I crave it year round. Lamb…

Beer-Braised Smoked Sausage Po’Boy with Griddled Vidalia Onions and Sauce Duo

October 10, 2016 by George Graham 12 Comments

Beer-Braised Smoked Sausage Po’Boy with Griddled Vidalia Onions and Sauce Duo

Smoked sausage is a familiar food item throughout Acadiana, and not a festival goes on without a booth serving up a smoked sausage po’boy. This Cajun recipe doesn’t get any simpler and don’t look for me to complicate it…much. First, the basics: My bread is classic–a soft po’boy bun from Evangeline Maid Bread in Lafayette….

Strawberry Cobbler with Chambord Whipped Cream

Strawberry Cobbler with Chambord Whipped Cream

Nothing beats fresh strawberries in season, and here in South Louisiana, we are blessed with an abundance of the crop. I like them chilled over a bowl of corn flakes, crowning a big ol’ biscuit topped with ice cream, or whole berries dipped in chocolate—there’s no end to the ways I enjoy strawberries. But here…

Cajun-Spiced Lettuce Cups with Vidalia Onion Relish

Cajun-Spiced Lettuce Cups with Vidalia Onion Relish

I must confess that, like many of you, I always start the year off with a goal of eating lighter, but living in Acadiana–ground zero for the most amazing food culture in America–it is a daunting task.  So today I am offering a compromise of sorts: These Cajun-Spiced Lettuce Cups deliver on the spicy Cajun…

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

For the past few years, fresh kale has been on a run showing up on restaurant menus all over America. Even here at my Acadiana Table, I’ve tossed it into soups, braised it in stews and served it pan sautéed as a side dish. So, this weekend I stumbled on a neat trick while making…

Smoked Turkey Leg Stew over White Rice with Tasso-Spiked Green Beans and Sweet Peas in Garlic Cream

Noontime in Acadiana means heading for your favorite lunchroom for a meat-and-three plate of down-home Cajun cooking.  Throughout South Louisiana, the cafes and diners are lined with all sorts of folks bellying up to the counters and tables in search of a hearty lunch.  It’s not unusual to see a truck driver sitting next to…

Cajun Pork Jambalaya

July 6, 2015 by George Graham 116 Comments

Cajun Pork Jambalaya

A black pot of Cajun Pork Jambalaya is a defining Cajun recipe that speaks the language of Louisiana. But as is the case with many Louisiana dishes, there are two distinctly different styles of jambalaya in Louisiana–Creole and Cajun. Perhaps, it is this Cajun recipe that most defines the two culinary cultures. The point is that…

Stuffed Chicken with Mushroom Madeira

Stuffed Chicken with Mushroom Madeira

Food can be boring.  Ok, I’ve said it, and you know exactly what I’m talking about.  Slapping a spoonful of mashed potatoes on a plate along with a plain baked chicken breast doesn’t exactly set the world on fire with excitement. Why can’t we serve up a bit more creativity at mealtime? Now, don’t get…

Quinoa Salad with Louisiana Shrimp

September 22, 2014 by George Graham 3 Comments

Quinoa Salad with Louisiana Shrimp

I am a Whole Foods Market fanatic. Always have been. Many years ago, I trekked all the way to Houston just to walk the aisles of this foodie fantasyland. Then later, Whole Foods moved closer with the opening of the New Orleans market, and then even closer in Baton Rouge. My wife Roxanne teases that I…

Rox’s Roux

January 27, 2014 by George Graham 35 Comments

Rox’s Roux

Making a dark Cajun roux from scratch is a dying art.  Not too many years ago, there wasn’t a Cajun or Creole household in South Louisiana that didn’t have the unmistakably intense aroma of a dark roux, in all its glory, wafting through the kitchen.  Home cooks were taught basic roux-making skills early on, and…
