Cajun

[tim]

Just got some Cajun spice to try.  Didn't realise that some varieties are for blakening short cooked things.

Tried it with Cod & it was really good.

I bring packets of cajun seasoning back from the US for a friend of mine....if you like, and want, Tim, I can bring you some back Jan/Feb? The mix for Dirty Rice is good, too 8)

 tim,

 You've got to explain the 'short black things' --  is that the Cod ?

 Looks interesting - can you elaborate please , always interested on a new slant
 to cooking, especially with fish,

Trust you, Hyacinth! Having only just received my batch of spices, I reckon I shall be provided for for a while. Must try the 'Dirty Rice' - love Chicken Livers!

Flossy - I only know what I read - If it's not slow-cooked, it's probably fried &, for the latter, spices that give a blackened finish are used.

And short-cooked, not short cod!!

   Ta tim,     ???     erm, sorry  ---    :-\

Tim I have a great recipe to make your own cajun spice if you or anyone else needs it............makes bucketloads though so you would have to reduce it. (sorry hyacynth, should that be bouquetloads?!)

We love it on chicken fillets grilled, or barbequed, shoved in a Waitrose Pain Rustique with mayonnaise, and a slice of that plastic cheese!

Also good on seared tuna,salmon, steaks etc.

OH likes his blackened, I am not made of such sturdy stuff and just have mine sprinkled!

I'll bear that in mind, DP. Meanwhile, I struggle to rationalise the 60 odd pots of this & that & keep them in date. There don't seem to be enough meals in the day to absorb them all. And just for the 2 of us.....

I know what you mean Tim, I have a drawer full, 2 layers deep!
Its the things you have to keep for odd occassions, like ground mace, that take up all the space!

[rosebud]

 Yes please Doris. ;D
