Eggplant Seafood Casserole

Cajun French:  la breme (la brem) – eggplant

 

PlatedEggplant is a vegetable we enjoy using in various ways.  Not sure how we wanted to use the one we purchased at the farmers market, so we started brainstorming.  What else had we purchased or had on hand that we could incorporate?  After some discussion, we decided on a casserole using seafood – shrimp and crab.  The fresh peppers were abundant this week and we had a variety so in they went.  The mayonnaise was used not only as a binding but also for flavor enhancement.  Although the recipe is easy, the results are a casserole with a richness to be enjoyed.

Crab and Shrimp Persimmon Stacker

Cajun French:   la crabe (la krab) – crab

 

 

While reading about Sandy’s RV search in her blog, Food and Fond Memories, she also talked about having a crab, shrimp and avocado stack from Bahama Breeze.  Ok, my mouth was watering and I wanted a stack.  Fast forward to the Red Stick Farmers Market and my mouth still watering.  We chose items to make our stack local: crab, shrimp, persimmons, and greens.  Thanks Sandy!

Jazzed Up Crab

Cajun French:   la crabe (la krab) – crab

 

Des Allemandes Outlaw Katfish Kompany sells stuffed crabs, along with live crabs, soft shell crabs, and catfish, at the Red Stick Farmers Market.  We enjoy making crab cakes yet when the Outlaw Katfish Kompany’s stuffed crabs are available we opt for them.  Each stuffed crab is loaded with crab, seasoning and just the right amount of bread.   We headed home with our usual four stuffed crabs and decided to jazz them up.

Mais C’est Bon!

Let’s Zydeco

Cajun French: la tomate (la tō-mat) — Tomato

HOT!

It’s summer, it’s New Orleans, it’s HOT!

Hot describes the last few weeks in south Louisiana.  Okay so it is nothing out of the ordinary, it  is still HOT!  Some people may believe  Southerns stay in the air conditioning and sip mint juleps – not so.  We go out in the heat, dance, eat and enjoy festivals.  The weekend of June 11th was the Vieux To Do Festival in New Orleans.  Vieux To Do is three festivals in one – Cajun/Zydeco Music, Creole  Tomato, and Seafood.

 

Mais C’est Bon!
