Couche Couche

This simple dish was once a dinner staple for the Cajuns. The combination of wet yellow cornmeal, salt, baking powder, and water is typically fried and steamed until it becomes dry. The dish is traditionally served with milk, cane syrup, figs, or even with pork cracklings. In order to get the true flavors of couche couche, many believe that one must use a heavy iron skillet.
