And this recipe does make quite a bit, and although you can cut it down, it freezes beautifully, so I always make the whole thing even though there are only two of us. It tastes better as it ages!

A few ingredients might be hard to find like andouille sausage (but you can make your own), tasso (which many recipe don't call for), or filé powder for gumbo (although some people don't use it, and substitute okra). But otherwise almost everything else is just straight good home cooking. Learning to make a long-cooked roux (cooking it a good 45 minutes so it become nutty brown) might be the hardest challenge, and you can actually make a big batch of that at one time, portion it out, and freeze it. Have fun experimenting!Kitchen Riffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334461438904669081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4249095902319557066.post-45383227593402354362013-02-15T05:35:49.751-06:002013-02-15T05:35:49.751-06:00I would love to head back to New Orleans!

But most people in the US aren't really that familiar with Creole (or Cajun) either, except for this dish, and probably gumbo and jambalaya.

Although I have never celebrated Mardi Gras here in the US I have celebrated it throughout my childhood in Germany where we call it Carnival. The Carnival finishes on Ash Wednesday and the season of lent begins the same way as you had described it. Aren't Culinary Traditions wonderful? Beautiful post.
