Black-Eyed Pea Patties
Black-eyed pea patties made with bacon, shallots, and roasted red peppers are pan-fried until golden brown and crispy. This recipe calls for canned peas, but for more flavor, I sometimes use leftover peas that I cooked with ham hocks or smoked turkey from New Year's. Get creative with how you serve them; sometimes I top them with fried green tomatoes or leftover candied yams.
Cajun Corn and Bacon Maque Choux
Maque choux is a classic Cajun side dish made with fresh summer corn kernels cut off the cob, cooked in milk with bell pepper, and onion until creamy. Crispy bacon and cayenne add even more flavor. I've had this recipe forever! I first prepared it in my high school class in Metairie, Louisiana. It's pronounced "mock shoe" and tastes awesome!
Sweet and Tangy Sautéed Collard Greens
These sautéed collard greens are sweet and tangy with a honey and balsamic vinegar dressing. They're a delicious and nutritious vegetarian side dish or salad.
Crawfish Dressing
This crawfish dressing is one of our favorite recipes. It goes great with fried turkey and makes a bunch. A combination of Cajun ingredients makes for a delicious dressing.
Collards
This is a classic formula for perfect collard greens. Simmered with bacon, potato and wine vinegar, these greens are sensational.
Okra Fritters
In the South, grits and okra are everywhere. I threw this recipe together when trying to come up with something different. When I make it for the kids, I leave out the tomatoes and onion.
Skinny Foster
A lighter version of the traditional dessert. Also yummy served over pancakes instead of syrup.
Cajun Ponchartrain Sauce
My take on the Ponchartrain sauce served at a popular seafood restaurant chain in my town. Although I prefer snapper, it may be ladled over any grilled, blackened, steamed, or pan fried fish. Very elegant and easy! Great idea for a romantic candlelight dinner for two.
Chef John's Bananas Foster
When you think of show-stopping, special-occasion desserts, you usually don't think simple and fast, but that's the case with bananas Foster. This delicious New Orleans classic only has a few ingredients and takes just minutes to make. Except for the folks that burn their houses down, everybody loves this recipe.
Blackened Tuna
This blackened tuna recipe is very simple but it's my favorite way to have tuna. Seared fish steaks are a Cajun tradition.
Andouille Sausage
Home made spicy Andouille sausages. Adjust the seasonings to suit your preferences. Pack any unused sausage casings in a jar with salt.
Authentic New Orleans Red Beans and Rice
This New Orleans red beans and rice is just like what Mom makes. I recommend cooking it the day before you want to eat it. It is a time-consuming recipe, and the taste gets even better after 24 hours in the refrigerator. For extra spice, add a splash of hot sauce.
