Cajun Maque Choux / Cajun Succotash image

This side dish is an excellent acccompaniment to any Cajun or Creole entree. Maque Choux usually does not contain okra, that's my little enhancement!

This recipe is a keeper! It's so easy to make and always turns out delicious. I love the combination of corn, okra, tomatoes, and spices. I usually serve it with grilled chicken or fish.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The flavors were just okay and the dish was a little dry. I won't be making this again.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think I'll try making it again with less cayenne pepper next time.

This was a good recipe, but I found it to be a little bland. I think I would add more spices next time. Otherwise, it was a pretty easy dish to make.

I've made this recipe several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The combination of corn, okra, tomatoes, and spices is just so delicious. I like to add a little bit of cayenne pepper for an extra kick.

This was a great way to use up some leftover corn and tomatoes from my garden. The dish was easy to make and very flavorful. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect summer meal.

I'm not usually a fan of succotash, but this recipe changed my mind! The Cajun spices and the addition of cornbread croutons took this dish to the next level. Will definitely be making this again.

This Cajun Maque Choux was a hit at our last potluck! Everyone loved the unique flavors and textures. I especially liked the addition of the okra, which gave the dish a nice crunch.
