Cajunville Caviar de Courgettes

Cajun French: le cachat (lu ka-sha) – zucchini

This dish dates back to Ukrainian culture. When protein foods were scarce and expensive, vegetable-based spreads were made. Zucchini, courgettes in French, was the main ingredient and while we keep zucchini we add other summer squash along with tomatoes and onions. We top it on bread spread with whipped ricotta. The recipe can be used as a main course, appetizer or side vegetable.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Cajunville Andouille Dog with Swamp Sauce

Cajun French: le chou (lu shoo) – cabbage

This is a different take on a hot dog. Andouille or Cajun smoked sausage is used for the meat. Everything else builds the flavors of the dog from sweet to hot. We call it a five napkin dog since the flavors may drip down your arm. Celebrate July 4 or any summertime get together the Cajun way.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Cajunville Crepes

Cajun French: l’oeuf (l’uf) – egg

John’s grandmother always made crepes, never pancakes. She would spread them with butter and a little sugar and roll them. This is an excellent way of eating crepes and it always brings memories for John. This month we are taking them up a notch with jam or jelly, whipped cream and berries and syrup. Anything you like is acceptable with crepes. Use your imagination.
