Shopping Lists: MAQUE CHOUX

This is a classic Cajun dish that has what my wife describes as an explosion of flavor, and it goes with anything else you’d like to serve. It’s basically a corn dish that’s been enhanced with Cajun seasonings, bacon, onions, and peppers! Trust me, it’s addicting! Like many Cajun recipes, there are many ways to prepare it. I will sometimes put a mixture of green and red bell pepper to add more color. It’s pronounced “mock shoe”. In English, Maque Choux translates from French roughly as “smothered corn and cabbage”. There’s no cabbage in this recipe, and I’ve never met anyone who puts cabbage in it, so why it’s called that is a mystery to me. 3 c. fresh corn kernels 4 slices thick cut bacon 1/2 lb. andouille sausage 1 med. Onion 1 red bell pepper 3 garlic cloves 1/4 c. chicken stock 1/2 c. heavy cream Cajun seasoning salt and pepper
