Fat Tuesday! Time for some quick Cajun

It’s Fat Tuesday! Perfect time for a quick Cajun dish. While I may not be giving anything up for Lent (not even Catholic), I can’t resist the chance to whip up a delicious bowl.

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 box of Zatarain’s Red Beans and Rice
  • 13.5 oz of Andouille sausage
  • The Holy Trinity: 2 bell peppers (one red and one green for a pop of color and flavor), celery, and onion
  • A generous amount of garlic (because who doesn’t love garlic?)
  • Homemade chicken stock for the base

It’s a straightforward recipe that doesn’t take much time to prepare, but it simmers to perfection in just half an hour. Perfect to celebrate the day!

  1. That sounds like an amazing way to celebrate Fat Tuesday! Zatarain’s Red Beans and Rice is such a classic choice, and adding andouille sausage will really bring that authentic Cajun flavor. I love your take on the Holy Trinity—it adds so much depth to the dish, and garlic is always a great addition!

    Using homemade chicken stock instead of water is a fantastic idea. It’ll definitely elevate the flavor profile. Plus, a half-hour simmer means you get to enjoy a hearty and delicious meal without spending all day in the kitchen. Perfect for a festive day! Are you planning to serve it with any sides or toppings? Maybe some cornbread or a dash of hot sauce? Enjoy your cooking!
