By Frances Murray


The cajun cuisine, originally from French, can be prepared very simple and easy since the ingredients are just available locally. There are three pots in this meal. One pot is for the main dishes, one pot for special sausages, steamed rice, and seafood dishes, and the last pot for the vegetables. Two most common staple meat dishes are pork sausages and shrimps. In the history, this type of food was originally developed by the poor people like the farmers and the refugees.

Onions, celery, and bell peppers are the three most commonly used spices in this cuisine. These are the types of vegetables that are favorite when adding flavor to it. Most of the chefs are calling it as Holy Trinity. Some ingredients such cayenne pepper and as well as garlic are usually used. The cajun flip n fry is a product which is made in order to make the preparation very much easy. The product is used to bread shrimp, vegetables, fish, or chicken.

One favorite dish is the boudin. Boudin is a type of pork sausage which contains pork liver, garlic, rice, green onions, and some other spices. These are being made daily since it cannot be kept for long even when it is placed in the freezer. Compared to other varieties of known sausages, a boudin is stuffed inside a natural casing and has softer consistency. A boudin is often served with side dishes like rice dressings.

Three of the very popular local dishes are the rice and gravy, jambalaya, and gumbo. Jambalaya is a dish that has some seafoods like shrimp and crawfish, meat like beef or chicken, and rice. However, hot chili peppers, tomatoes, celery, onions, and green peppers can also be mixed. Other additional spices or ingredients may also be added.

A gumbo is a kind of soup which is one of the favorites in the list for cajun cooking. The gumbo name comes originally from the term okra. An okra is one main ingredient in gumbo recipes. Okra is being used for the thickening of food and also for enhancing the vegetable flavor.

A file gumbo used dried sassafras leaves for thickening. This is done after cooking the stew. There are two variations of roux which is the backbone of the gumbo. These are the golden brown roux and the dark roux. A classic gumbo is made from chicken and sausage, or called as andouille. But its ingredients may vary based on what ingredients are available.

Rice and gravy are staple dishes of cajun cuisine. The gravy is usually brown which is based on the pan drippings, simmered and glazed with some extra seasonings and it is being served above a boiled or steamed rice. Traditionally, this dish is made from cuts of meat which are cooked in an iron pot. The meat is cooked for a longer time to let the meat cuts tender.

In some other traditional events, the people will boil onions, potatoes, crawfishes, and corns in a large pot and mix other seasonings and ingredients. During this event, attendees are told to suck the head of crawfish. Sucking of fat and juices of the abdomen are also done by separating it.

Another kind of event is outdoor food event. Farmers in the rural areas will be the one to host the event. Their activities would include playing games, drinking, eating, dancing, and some more. The men are going to slaughter the hogs and cook them as main dish and women are going to make boudins.
