*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
CAJUN - (ka-jen) -
Native of Louisiana descended from French-speaking immigrants. The French-Canadians fled Acadia, Nova Scotia, after the French lost the colony to Britain in 1755. They made their way to southern Louisiana, where they colonized the area and most still remain. The term 'Cajun' came from the American Indians, who had trouble pronouncing 'Acadians', so they became 'Cajuns'. They have had a strong influence on Louisiana's food, society, culture, traditions and music, which is still obvious, today. Their language is not 'true' French, but more of a "slang" French, and in some areas of Louisiana is still, today, spoken fluently and is a real joy to hear, even if you can't understand it. Cajun cooking was originated among the Cajuns by many influences, such as Creole and Spanish. It is characterized by the use of a dark "roux"(*)and lots of sauted seasonings, mainly chopped bell peppers, onions & celery (for Creole influence add garlic and chopped tomatoes). To my way of thinking there is nothing more tasty than Louisiana cooking!

"Most  people eat to live, Louisianans live to eat!"

(*) Mixture of oil or butter and flour - there are three main kinds - white roux, light brown roux and dark roux (used mostly for the coloring and strong flavor).

Something tasty ...

                     New Orleans Turkey Basting Sauce

                                                            
Makes 1 quart

1 quart water
½ cup salt
1 ounce Louisiana hot sauce
3 ounces Worchestershire sauce
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1½ ounces garlic juice
1½ ounces onion juice
1 teaspoon meat tenderizer
 
Mix all ingredients in sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for at least 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. This sauce may be used on meat, poultry or wild game. You can adjust the seasonings for your taste by adding different spices, changing amounts or changing the water for some other liquid, such broth, beer, fruit juice, etc. Just let your creatived juices go wild! Left over sauce can be stored for several weeks in the refrigerator.
 
**NOTE**
Use at least ½ ounce of sauce per pound of turkey, meat or vegetable casserole for basting & flavor. If injecting, then use 1 ounce of sauce per pound of turkey or meat. When injecting turkey, remember to only break the skin as little as possible for the juices turkey. When injecting meat, always inject at the top only so the flavor runs through the meat. If the salt amount is too much for your health reasons, then cut down to your tolerance or use your favorite substitue.
