Another food company is attempting to dip its proverbial toe into the bayou of south Louisiana with a Cajun Gumbo and Rice Mix. It's not being well-received by Louisiana folks. It's not pretty.
Gumbo is literally ingrained in Southern culture, so when people mess with the traditional recipe it tends to make Southerners (particularly Cajuns) very angry.
The best thing about cold weather in south Louisiana is the food! Gumbo is the go-to favorite, but that's just the beginning. We Cajuns know a lot, and we know even more about what tastes good and what warms us up when the temps drop.
Gasp all you want. Yes. I'm Cajun and I buy my roux.
I've never in my life cooked gumbo from a recipe, but being born and raised in Cajun country, I know the first step to any good gumbo is roux. However, early on I learned how inept I was at that particular task...
Wow after the Arctic blast of cold air and the sleet and snow we had yesterday, I think a good Chicken and Sausage gumbo is in order!
Never made one? Are you an expert? Well here is how I make my gumbo. See if yours is close to how I make mine.
Add a little seafood into your life in today's cooking with Cajun Radio. Its starting to get warm so this is your last chance to make yourself a great gumbo!!!
