A Little Cajun Delite Tonight

[Wyandot Jim]

Well guys I have been told by Cajuns that you are not considered a real Cajun Cook until you cook a delicious Chicken Fricassee. Tonight Wifie said I passed the test with my Chicken and Sausage Fricassee

 

[contender]

Dern,, I had a late supper & that made me hungry!

"For True"
Looks tasty!

Y-u-m-m!

 

[turd]

Well, we had pizza! That looks really good. My wife cooks most things, so I don't investigate as much as I did years ago, but we do like some Cajun dishes. This one looks like a keeper!

 

[Hvymax]

We had a batch of Ox Tail Soup. My daughter picked up 3 huge tails the other day.

 

[bowzette]

Oh how my heart burns-born in New Orleans and went to LSU. Now an outcast in Florida.

Looks good, I don’t recall ever having Fricassee before but I will this week. Looked up a couple recipes and it’s pretty easy.

Yes it is easy to do.
AH yes but first you have to make the roux. This recipe had you remove the skin from the chicken thighs and use the skin to render the fat from. It was good and keeps the chicken flavor in the sauce.

Yep that would be right up there with the Ox Penis that was on a Beijing restaurant menu

 

[BearBiologist]

Wife made fry bread. Mix from a Yakama friend (I have his web address I can PM, if anyone wants).

Tonite will be nachos and guacamole while we watch "Worst Cooks in America" and "Dark Winds", followed by "Cannery Row", maybe.

Gastronomic delights that I would pass on. Hvymax if your soup tastes a little off they may have gone too far forward on the tail .Wyandot Jim, that is just wrong! You can always get a laugh here somehow!

My wife excels at making ground beef enchiladas - but uses her dinner crepes instead of tortillas.

Sometimes I think I would have made a good Cajun!

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of Cajun fricassee. Looks like I’ve made things like that before but I’ve never level cook my chicken like the recipe says.
I guess using andouille sausage, and Tony Chachere would qualify

 

[Wyandot Jim]

Well maybe you live a few to many miles North of I-10 to know about that there Cajun Cooking. I got my Cajun Cooking edumacation down the Bayou around Houma, Morcan City, and Thibodaux. I don't own any Tony Chachere stuff. It sounds like a yankee name. I used a Texas made Jalapeno sausage rather than Andouille. Andouille goes better in a Chicken and Sausage Gumbo.
I'm not sure what recipe you used, but here is what my Cajun---Creole Cookbook has to say about Chicken Fricassee.

Chicken Fricassee is a traditional fare among Cajuns. It is a good example of the Cajun cooking down method of food preparation. At times battle lines are drawn when "But you should taste my Fricassee" has been spoken.

I make good ones also (Born in East L.A. and a Chicana ex-wife!) Try shredded beef in a crock-pot. Take a roast and a jar of your favorite salsa (I make my own) = cook on high for several hours, let cool over night in the juices and shred the next morning.

East L.A.? Close to Dothan?

[BearBiologist]

Dothan?? No, actually hospital in Montebello and lived in Billy Goat Acres (Bell Gardens). Paternal Grandfather's land backed up to the L.A. River and Long Beach Freeway at Florence.

 

[Tensaw]

Lots good! I enjoy Cajun cooking.

 

[WendyZXZ]

I agree about the looking good, looking tasty!

Travis e-mailed me and he will bring 15 bags up to Wenatchee from Yakima and deliver them to us!

 

[steveodtw]

I recall watching old Justin Wilson cookin' Cajun and telling tales. One he began "I knew this fella he was a Yankee from way up north, 'round Shreveport...
I've made deer camp Jambalaya for over 30 years from Paul Prudhomme's first cookbook. I've done lots of Cajun/Creole from the 13 Louisiana cookbooks i have. Haven't tried a Fricassee. I'll have to look one up.

 

[john guedry]

I think it's a fancy name for stew.

 

[BearBiologist]

Fry bread mix (15 bags) being delivered tonight!

 

[eveled]

First you make a roux…….

Loved Justin Wilson’s and Frank White’s tv shows and their cooking was first rate and great! Sure do miss those guys. Only got a chance to meet Frank White sorry I didn’t meet Justin Wilson.

Justin Wilson did a series for PBS called Outdoor Cooking with Inside Help, which they ran from time to time. I have all of them on an old VHS tape. Unfortunately, none of them are on YouTube. His early shows run 24/7 on his channel. All outdoor and BBQ-type stuff was cooked on a smoker, grill, or "Cajun Microwave." None of these episodes are on YT unfortunately.

I like Stalekracker and some of his recipes are good but his schtick is getting old. Its main purpose is to sell his products. I will admit his Two Step seasoning is pretty good though.

Tragedy!
