Great Gumbo
This Creole soup always starts with a rich dark roux, giving it that special New Orleans flavor.
Jazzed-Up Jambalaya
Some say it's Cajun, others claim it's Creole, but either way, rice mixed with the "holy trinity" of peppers, celery and onion, and some browned meats, seafood or vegetables makes this dish a feast.
Enticing Etouffee
The French word for "smothered," etouffee is a rich stew that's cooked in its own juices. It may or may not start with a roux, but it always involves the "holy trinity" and is served over rice.
