Couche-Couche is a cereal eaten with warm milk or Cafe au lait (coffee-milk). It can take the place of bread or rice or cornbread in dressings. It is delicious served with fried eggs and sliced tomatoes for breakfast. A real Cajun classic.
 
Ingredients
5 tbsp cooking oil 2 cups yellow cornmeal
1 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar
1 tsp baking powder 2 cups milk
 
Directions
Put four of the five tablespoons of cooking oil into a heavy iron
skillet or saucepan which has a tight lid. Let it heat while you mix
the remaining ingredients in the order given. Last, add the one
remaing tablespoon of cooking oil and pour the whole mixture
into the hot cooking oil. Lower flame to medium and let cook.
Keep stirring about every three minutes, being sure to scrape the
bottom of the pot each time. Cook covered tightly until couche-
couche reaches the consistency of crumbled up corn bread
(about 20 minutes).

Note: Milk is the correct wetting agent in this recipe. Some Couch-Couch recipes use water.(For the water-version of the Cush-Cush, see our website).
