Time 30m

Yield 3 1/2 cups, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3/4 cup onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/4 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons minced fresh jalapeno peppers
1 teaspoon minced garlic
3 cups beef stock or 3 cups broth

Steps:

Combine onions, bell peppers and celery in a small bowl & set aside while you start the roux.
In a heavy 2-quart saucepan (I prefer a castiron skillet), heat the oil over medium-low heat to about 250°. With a metal whisk, whisk in the flour a little at a time until smooth.
Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until roux is light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. be careful not to let the roux scorch or splash on you.
Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vegetable mixture (with a spoon) as well as the red, white and black peppers.
Return pan to high heat and cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly (you're cooking the seasonings and vegetables in the light roux and the mixture should be pasty). Remove from heat.
In a separate 2-quart saucepan, bring the stock/broth to boil. Add the roux mixture by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, stirring until dissolved between each addition.
Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer & cook until the sauce reduces to 3 1/2 cups (about 15 minutes).
Skim any oil from the top and serve immediately.

PAUL PRUDHOMME'S CAJUN MEAT LOAF

Paul Prudhomme's Cajun Meat Loaf image

I've never been a fan of meat loaf. After all, its a loaf of meat with ketchup on it...or so I thought. My friend made this for me last night and it was so good! The recipe is from Paul Prudhomme (of K-Paul's, New Orleans). Warning: this is very spicy and if you're not used to eating "cajun" type foods, you might want to back off on the cayenne & hot sauce just a bit.
