Halal Kosher Nut Free Chicken Pork Seafood / Shellfish Nut-Free Fried spicy savory european halal kosher plant_based french sauce whole_grains soup

Expand the traditional French velouté sauce into Cajun territory (a cuisine known for its French influences) with the holy trinity—onion, celery, and green bell pepper—plus Cajun seasoning and hot sauce. Serve with shrimp, fried chicken and waffles, or sausage and biscuits.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
0.25 cups onion
0.25 cups chopped celery
0.25 cups green bell pepper
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 teaspoon Cajun-style seasoning
2 dashes hot sauce

Instructions

1

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, celery, and bell pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes.
2

Whisk in flour. Cook, whisking constantly, until pale golden in color with a lightly nutty aroma, 3 to 4 minutes.
3

Whisk in broth. Bring mixture to a simmer; simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half (to about 1 1/4 cups) and sauce coats the back of a spoon and holds a line when you draw a finger through it, about 30 minutes. Whisk in Cajun seasoning and hot sauce.
