Stuffed Trumpets

Cajun French: trompette – trumpet

 

What would “swamp pop” music be without trumpets? The horns add a quality that make “swamp pop” a distinctive music. On Saturday night in south Louisiana “swamp pop” music can be found in dance halls and juke joints in most cities and towns.

The oyster mushrooms we purchased at the Red Stick Farmers Market reminded us of trumpets and “swamp pop” music. Wanting to make the mushrooms as distinctive as “swamp pop” we decided to stuff the trumpets. They were served with grilled salmon and grilled asparagus. John said the salmon and asparagus were the accompaniment that the main player was the mushrooms.

Shrimp, Red Cabbage & Oyster Mushrooms

Cajun French:  le chou (lu shoo) – cabbage

 

Cleaning out the frig before our weekly Red Stick Market purchases, we found red cabbage and oyster mushrooms.  What to do with them?  Shrimp in the freezer, good addition.  We decided to cook each separately and then plate together.  The sweetness of the cabbage added to the mildness of the mushrooms and the shrimp were the crowning glory.  For a meal made with clean out the frig items, it was outstanding!
