| These nuts are wonderful for entertaining or just plain snacking. You can use any nuts such as pecans, walnuts or almonds. If using almonds blanch the nuts: Blanching defintion from http://www.answers.com/blanching&r=67:Blanching is a cooking term that describes a process of food preparation wherein the food substance is rapidly plunged into boiling water and then removed after a brief, timed interval and then plunged into iced water or placed under cold running water. Blanching rapidly heats and then cools the food. This allows the food, usually fruits and vegetables, to firm up and makes the food's natural flavour more pronounced, and is often a preparative technique for freezing food.
Blanching is also an effective method of loosening the skin on fruits or nuts that one may wish to peel, such as tomatoes, plums, peaches, or almonds. In addition, blanching enhances the color of some (particularly green) ingredients.
Steam blanching is also used to neutralise bacteria and enzymes present in foods so that they may be processed and gain a greater shelf life, such as peanuts. Blanching can also describe deep frying in oil at a lower temperature as with the initial cooking of French fries.

| Many Cajuns grew up eating this appetizer at the Cock of the Walk Restautant on Johnston Street in Lafayette before it burned down. The restaurant seemed almost famous for this dish. Many times, the resturant's parking lot would become flooded after heavy rains and once, a Kaplan man stepped out of his car and fell immediately under water! He realized a moment too late that he had walked right into a ditch. |

| This Noveau Cajun selection is going to make you say "throw me one Mister so I can try it!". It bakes up perfect and the taste is worth trading your Mardi Beads for. The color of this appetizer blends in perfect with Mardi Gras theme colors. The ease of preparation would alone be a terrific reason to try it. I am not sure where Maw Maw's friend got this recipe but I would trade my beads and yours for some! Not yet rated |
