Cajun
March 26th, 2008The process of preparing Cajun food is in no way hurried and involves a layering of flavors which allows each ingredient to maintain its own identity. The foundation of preparing authentic Cajun dishes like gumbo, sauce piquant and etouffee is the Cajun roux (pronounced ‘rue’). The typical Cajun roux is a blend of equal parts of flour and fat, cooked together in a heavy pot over high heat until a medium brown color is reached.
