fig preserves – RV Cajun Cooking

Cajun French: la confiture aux figues (la kon-fee-tūr ō feeg) – fig preserve

Brussels Sprouts are one of those love/hate vegetables. We are on the love side and enjoy them from steamed to cooked in a sauce and everything in between. It is Spring time and in south Louisiana that means strawberries and they were abundant at the Red Stick Farmers Market. Besides fresh strawberries, Spring also means Abita Strawberry Beer, one of their seasonal beers. Home from the market we had Brussels Sprouts and fresh strawberries and in the frig we had Abita Strawberry Beer and fig preserves. Below is the dish that evolved from those ingredients. It is sweet with a hint of savory from Camp Dog Cajun Seasoning.

Cajun French: la crêpe (la krep) – Pancake

Knowing we were going to hitch up and leave Hord’s Creek Lake in Coleman, TX today, we decided to have our morning coffee outside during the coolest part of the day. Realizing it seemed dark for 6:30 in the morning, I opened the door to a dark sky and realized rain must be in the area. This part of Texas, as most of Texas, has not seen rain in a very long time and we were happy for them. For us it meant either packing up and leaving in the rain or staying an extra day. We opted for the extra day. That decided, we now needed breakfast and pancakes became the menu. John’s creativity kicked in and soon he was making salsa. Salsa and pancakes – why not? We then added fig preserves on top and Wow what a combination!
