SPICY CAJUN TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Cut bread lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. In a saucepan melt butter and stir in seasoning and salt. Brush spice butter on 1 side of slices and on a baking sheet bake, buttered sides up, in middle of oven until golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Toasts keep in an airtight container at room temperature 3 days.

SPICY CAJUN CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbs butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the bell peppers, onions and garlic in the butter for 8-10 minutes until softened slightly. If you like your veggies blackened in this type of dish, like I do, give them a couple more minutes until the edges start to turn black.
• While the veggies are cooking, cut the chicken breast into bite size pieces.
• Prepare a medium size pan over high heat with the olive oil. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and cook, stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink.
• When the vegetables are softened or blackened to your liking, add the chicken to the pan.
• Add the tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken stock, 1/4 tsp salt, cayenne pepper, paprika, pepper and thyme and simmer for 10-12 minutes until thickened. If you like your sauce a little thicker, just add 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch to a couple tablespoons of the liquid from the saucepan. Stir until smooth, remove pan from heat and whisk in cornstarch/sauce mixture, then put back on the heat.
• While the sauce is simmering, prepare fettucini according to package directions and serve sauce over plated noodles. Sprinkle a little parsley over each serving to complete.

SPICY CAJUN STEW

Steps:

• In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until lightly browned; drain. Add tomatoes and broth. Bring to a boil. Stir in spinach. Return to a boil; cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir with a fork.

SWEET AND SPICY CAJUN ROASTED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Then whisk in sugar and seasonings (if you only have garlic salt, add only 1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt) until blended. Add peanuts and stir to coat.
• Spread peanuts out on prepared baking sheet. Roast in preheated oven, stirring a couple of times until nuts are golden brown and mixture is barely sticky, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste, adding a little more salt if needed. Cool completely, breaking up nuts as they cool. Store in an airtight container for a couple of weeks.

SPICY CAJUN TOTCHOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425ºF.
• Bake TATER TOTS as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, cook sausage, peppers and celery in large skillet on medium heat 6 min. or until sausage is evenly browned and vegetables are crisp-tender, stirring frequently. Add pasta sauce; mix well. Cook on medium-low heat 3 to 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Spread TATER TOTS onto platter; top with sausage mixture and remaining ingredients.
