Bourbon Chicken

Sat, 11 Aug 2001 08:13:25 -0400

" A favorite named after Bourbon Street in New Orleans, Louisiana and for the bourbon whiskey ingredient; although this dish, sold as Cajun-style cuisine in malls all over America, is reported to be nothing of the kind (not genuine Creole or Cajun fare)! Note: If you double the recipe, make sure that the chicken is still in a single layer. Laissez les bons temps rouler! " Found at -- posted by Mark O.

Sun, 18 Nov 2001 07:58:36 -0500

Dirty Turkey-Rice Purloo

Sun, 13 Nov 2005 21:36:49 -0500

New Orleans is famous for "dirty" rice pilafs that get their brownish color from poultry giblets (including livers). Stehling borrows elements of these dishes for his purloo--a Carolinian rice hash. From Robert Stehling of Charleston's Hominy Grill in Low-Country Thanksgiving. MAKE AHEAD: The purloo can be made through Step 3; refrigerate overnight. -- posted by NcMysteryShopper

Way Too Easy Cajun Potatoes

Sat, 14 Oct 2006 07:58:29 -0400

These were a staple in the Irish Channel in the good ole days. I still make mine in a cast iron pan but you can use any oven proof pan. For those who must have heat, add extra cayenne. To shorten baking time we sometimes nuke the potato chunks a little before adding to the oil. -- posted by omeomy #2

Smothered Cabbage

Thu, 08 Mar 2007 22:33:00 -0500

This is a great twist on traditional fried or smothered cabbage - taken from the Tony's Seafood of Louisiana website (who are quoting a Mulate's recipe). How can we go wrong? YUMMO!! My DH brought me a tee back from Mulate's when he was down helping recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina - needless to say we love the region and the food - and now I can say I "perk" up a bit when I see Mulate's anywhere. I can't wait to get down there myself just to sample my way around the region! How DO I get one of those traveling shows myself? ;)-- -- posted by Mommy Diva

Calas

Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:10:22 -0400

This is another old recipe from Chuck Taggart and it has been said that women in New Orleans used to sell these on the streets to workers early every morning as they hurried off to their jobs. They are sort of like a beignet. **Other variations are to serve with honey or Steen's Cane Syrup instead of the powdered sugar** -- posted by Sherrybeth

I was inspired by Recipe #40416 and create my own. I am a novice cook and this has to be the easiest recipe I have tried in my crock pot.
