Culinary Use of the Cajun Spice Mix
Our Cajun Spice Mix imparts a fiery note combined with a unique thyme flavor. This blend is particularly well-suited for grilled and fried dishes, as well as hearty stews and savory sides.
For example, use the Cajun spice mix for grilled sweet potatoes: cut the sweet potatoes into wedges, brush them with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of oil and 1 teaspoon of Cajun spice, and season with salt to taste. Grill in the oven until crispy.
Another classic dish with Cajun spice is Baked Beans: Brown bacon in a pan, then add pre-cooked white beans and chopped tomatoes. Stir in some tomato paste, salt, and 1 tablespoon of Cajun spice – for more heat, you can add Chili Bird Eyes.
Typical Cajun dishes seasoned with this mix include Dirty Rice (rice with chicken liver), Fried Catfish, and Cornbread. Whether traditional or reinvented, this blend brings the classic Cajun flavor to every dish.
The History of Cajun Cuisine
Cajun Cuisine is one of the unique cooking styles in American culinary tradition, heavily influenced by French settlers who arrived in Louisiana in 1764. Their favorite stews, like Gumbo, later combined with regional ingredients and Southern influences, creating the spicy and flavorful Cajun cuisine we know today.
The Cajuns traditionally valued fresh, regional ingredients, growing legumes, fruit trees, and many herbs. The use of seafood, which emerged later in the 19th century, became established due to technological advances in food preservation and the growing economic strength of the region.
