The recipe came from my Super Suppers cookbook. I told Brad i must be silly to use a recipe for a cajun dish from a cookbook written by people who are not from down south! Heehee. I tried it anyway & it was delicious! Fantastic! Hubby loved it, too!
Now, looking at other recipes for it, i realize it probably isn't really the cajun's version of the stuff. But it was really good, i promise! =)
You should try it with cornbread. I would blog that recipe, too, because i've always adored my mama's cornbread & it was her recipe. But it didn't turn out just like mama's. It was okay, but a bit dry. I'll try it again & blog it when i get it right!! =)
But here is the recipe for Red Beans & Rice! Hope you like it!
