I have to admit, I’m not the world’s best at vegetable sides. My go-to list for main dishes is much longer. This is something I’ve been working on…. slowly. I prefer sides with a little kick. This Cajun cauliflower recipe from Chef Paul Prudhomme is definitely on my go-to sides list. It is very easy to make and boosts some great flavor to boot. And it’s a lot healthier than your usual creamy cheesy cauliflower recipes. This Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun cauliflower dish has found it’s way onto our regular menu rotation.
Try A Variation Of Seasonings
I keep a variety of Cajun seasonings on hand, from Chef Paul’s version to Slap Ya Mama and everything in-between. Each has its own flavor, its own twist. They all make dishes like Chef Paul Prudhomme’s Cajun cauliflower different. I just hope he wouldn’t be offended if I’m not always using his brand’s seasoning! Sorry Chef! (RIP)
- Original Cajun flavor: Slap Ya Mama Cajun…
- Season chicken and seafood: Use as chicken…
