Best Answer

Cajun's like rich spicy food, usually starting with a roux. Hot oil or fat is mixed with equal parts of flour and stirred constantly until either a light roux (very light brown in color) or dark roux (dark peanut butter in color) is achieved. Chopped onions, bell peppers, and celery is added. Then which ever recipe you are shooting for takes over. Cajuns like thyme, oregano, bay leaves and cayenne.

Gumbos, for instance, mainly use chicken and sausage, but the old saying is, "If it doesn't run fast enough it goes into the pot".
