This week our instructor decided to have us cook cajun. I've tried to cook cajun exactly once when I tried to make a gumbo. It didn't work out all that well and if you don't know what it's supposed to taste like then how will you know if you made it right? So I was really glad when we got to make a gumbo, jambalaya, an etouffee and a cajun meatloaf with a hot sauce to put over it.
We were so stuffed the time the gumbo and meatloaf was done it was unreal and we still had to make our bananas foster.
I didn't get a picture of everything together because our dishes were done at different times. I was really happy with all the dishes but I would probably tone down the cayenne pepper. The etouffee was really hot and they used 1 teaspoon of cayenne instead of the 2 the recipe called for so I was grateful but I would've used 1/2 a teaspoon. I don't mind some heat in my food but I want to be able to feel my tongue after eating too..
The bananas foster was really easy to make and served over ice cream which acted like a welcome anti-acid for my poor stomach lining.
