I am a Texas girl through and through.
And then I have a meal with Andouille sausage…and it’s like I ditch my TX roots and become a Louisiana girl for 20 minutes during dinner. I love, love, love the Cajun flavors. Especially the smoky bite from Andouille sausage. Pair that with some mirepoix and I’m in Cajun food heaven. (Mirepoix is a mix of Cajun trio of aromatic veggies – onions, bell peppers and celery. This trio of delicious is often used in Cajun dishes and Louisiana low country cooking!)
(Now, ask me to eat alligator tail…and that TX girl won’t let the Louisiana girl show up for dinner. (lol) I still haven’t tried it…maybe someday.)
