Cajun Cooking

I love good cajun food, and in a Mardi Gras spirit here is a favorite cajun recipe...

Cajun Burgers

1 pound ground beef
3 tablespoons dry bread crumbs
1 egg
3 green onions, chopped
1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning
1 Tbsp mustard
1/4 cup BBQ Sauce (jack Daniels BBQ sauce is my personal favorite)
1 tsp Cajun seasoning
sliced Cheddar cheese

In a medium bowl, mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, green onions, 1 Tbsp Cajun seasoning, and mustard. Form into patties. In a small bowl, blend the barbeque sauce and 1 tsp Cajun seasoning. Lightly oil the grill and cook the patties 5 minutes per side, or until well done. Place a slice of cheese on each burger, and allow to melt. Serve with seasoned barbeque sauce. Top with red onions, lettuce, tomatoe, etc...

At allrecipes I found this recipe for crunchy cajun fries, that should be a great side for the burgers...

Crunchy Cajun Fries

2 pounds russet potatoes, cut into fries
1 cup corn flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
1 quart oil for deep frying
salt to taste

Place cut potatoes into a large bowl of cold water. Soak for 10 minutes. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the corn flour, corn meal, and Cajun seasoning. Shake the bag to blend. Drain the potatoes, but leave them wet. Place the fries in the plastic bag with the seasoning, and shake to coat. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cook fries in hot oil for 7 to 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the fryer to paper towels to drain. Season with a small amount of salt.
