| Some cooks recommend lightly salting cut up eggplant and letting it stand for 15 to 30 minutes before rinsing, drying and cooking to reduce characteristic bitterness.
The vegetable may be broiled, pan-fried or baked along with olive oil, tomatoes, peppers and fresh herbs and spices. Here chicken and bacon,two Cajun favorites, are coupled with another favorite - the eggplant.

| Crawfish Casserole wonderful for a dinner party, family gathering, and wedding rehersal dinner served with a green salad and a fresh french bread.
Editors' Note: This recipe calls for fettuccini noodles; the last rehearsal dinner I went to the chef had used bow-tie pasta. |

| This is a classic New Orleans dish served on Mondays to which someone added brown rice to make it low carb & there is no sausage so it also feeds Vegetarians |

After seeing Yves Vegetarian Ground Round at my local grocer, I realized it would be possible to make a rice dressing that both my vegetarian girlfriend and I could enjoy.
This rice dressing tastes like the real thing. The "fake" ground round used in this is made of texturized soy. Soy is a delicious meat-alternative that is high in fiber, protein and carbs and low in fat. Of course, real lean ground beef can also be used in this recipe if you want regular rice dressing. |
| This is a Cajun etoufee made up of a mixture of various etoufee versions compiled from myself and family members. It is very rich.
Editors' Note.........Delcambre is the city famous for the Shrimp Festival. One of the original and greatest festival celebrations in Louisiana. If ever you get a chance visit Delcambre and see the shrimpboats and learn about the real Delcambre Reboks! |

| a fish stew made with the goo fish......The goo fish is the nickname for a freshwater drum; known as a gaspergou or sheepshead? In S LA, most people use the term "sheepshead" to describe a saltwater drum with big teeth and striped sides. The freshwater drum fish is a gaspergou. Farther up the Mississippi, the two names are interchangable, but they're usually referring to two distinct fishes. And you definitely don't catch them in the same places (fresh vs salt/brackish water).
I think the saltwater version is the superior fish, tastewise. They're all related to buffalofish, carp, and croaker, too. All make peculiar thrumming/drumming/thumping noises, hence the name drum.
