Some time ago some of you guys ( I think it was Falcon and Helo) mentioned Cajun meals. Helo told me lot about it two years ago in Dublin and now suddenly I felt I want such food

So I decided to go for red beans and rice. More less I know how to prepare it but would like to hear some suggestions on this one and other dishes of Cajun kind.

tabasco sauce
cayan peppers
jalapeno peppers
Red Beans
Rice ( wild is better in my opinion)
Jalapeno sausage

Cut up the sausage into itty bity bites.
now, cook the beans with everything but the rice, cook it seperate, let the beens do a slow 8-12 hour cookin.
add fluid as needed to them bean so's ya don't burn'em.(hot sauce or water)
now once them beans are close to done, cook up the rice normal like.

Dish up the rice onto a plate or in most cases a bowl. laddle the beans onto the rice like you would p'seggetti.

dig in !

Note of advise, have a loaf or 2 of bread or crackers or biscuts on hand, as you probably not used to cajun cookin. When it gets to hot to chew, eat bread , it soaks up them hot oils out ya mouth.

happy eating :P

...the Texican and Cajun accents, wouldn't it just be easier to have it mail-ordered from Popeye's?

Now I see I need more ingridients:) Didn't expect the sousage to appear, but glad I know;) gotta learn to cook well, heard girls like lads that cook good stuff

And I love good food, too

Can't order from the US, would be cold when it arrives to the country I live in.

and the customs guys and always hungry ladies would probably eat some of my precious food.

And I can't let them do so.

What alcoholic drinks usually and traditionally go well with such food?

Ok, cooked it. Didnt have celery and sousage, but had pork and all the other stuff. Added some corn, coz I love corn. and all the other spices Falky mentioned. Da was awesome, with red wine/beer tasted great. Some had beer, some had wine. only my grandpa didn't even touch the fod, he prepared something just for himself, very ordinary. He won't eat anything that he doesnt prepare himself....lack of trust in his grandson ...

I love such food, gotta think about something for the next time;)

Aw, c'mon Mac. Don't tell me you can't get dem yummy Polish sausages now. Hell, I heard they grow on trees there. Now, if you really want a nice spicy dish make some Geera Pork.

no, it is no problem, it just was a national holiday and stores were closed on 3rd and I wanted to have it on the 3rd;) and did;) yep, we plant sausages in our gardens, watch them grow, chase away the birds and rabbits and dogs and cats, too,. then we go to the butcher's and buy proper ones;)

You may not get some of the ingredients over there (you can substitute some of them I guess) but I swear it's really the best. My wife buys it a lot and I usually eat it flavored with moderate spices. If you ever come across it on a trip (maybe in England you can visit an East Indian eatery) try it.
