How to Add Cajun Flair to Any Meal

Cajun food is quickly becoming a favorite among consumers eager to experience something new. That said, some ingredients are rather difficult to come by depending on where you live. You've come to the right place for tips and tricks on how to add a little Cajun flair to your next meal.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cajun spices
• Rice
• Andouille sausage
• Bell peppers
• Onions
• Celery

1. Spice it up. Cajun food is famous for that little bit of heat, but all spices are not created equal—nor will they all leave your tongue begging for water. A clever combination of spices is a hallmark of authentic Cajun cuisine. Experiment with Cajun spice blends from the international foods aisle at your local grocery store, or order Cajun seasonings online.

2. Add a little rice. Throughout history, the people of New Orleans and the surrounding area have experienced economic hardships. For this reason they have incorporated rice into many of their dishes as an inexpensive way of stretching the food. Rice remains an integral ingredient in many famous Cajun meals. For a little extra flair, try adding a little seasoned rice to your next Cajun feast.

3. Serve it up with andouille sausage. Whether you are making red beans and rice or jambalaya, or boiling up a pot of sausage gumbo, andouille sausage adds a little bit of warmth, a whole lot of flavor and Cajun flair to your meal. You'll be amazed at how much flavor this one little adjustment can make to almost any dish that requires sausage.

4. Remember the basics: add a little bit of onion, bell pepper and celery to your dish. These are rather cheap additions that will pack a flavorful punch in your Cajun meal.
