Laurie4b Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ok, I found a recipe for Cajun seasoning that my family loves, so I can bake some chicken and oven fries. Cajun seasoning is new to our family repertoire, though, so I don't have an automatic notion of which veges would go with it. I don't want veges with sausage. Suggestions? What veges or salads go well with those flavors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maryanne Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 The last time I did a Cajun meal, we had Cajun grilled chicken, cajun rice pilaf, steamed asparagus, hollandaise sauce, and pina colada sweet potatoes. When I'm serving a spicy flavorful meal like Cajun, I look for simple sides with a hint of sweetness like carrots, sweet potatoes, sweet peppers etc. Looking forward to seeing what others do. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherGoose Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Salad, or steamed broccoli or asparagus or green beans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotherGoose Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Or black eyed peas or collards, to be consistent with your theme :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 My go-to is oven-roasted broccoli: cut up up florets (or peel and slice the stems if you have a head), toss with olive oil and maybe salt and pepper, roast at 425 for 7 min, stir and roast a minute or two longer if you like it a bit more browned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Chicken and fries would call for green beans here, the kind cooked with bacon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 There is a recipe here for Lima beans with cumin and mint http://www.thekitchn.com/21-ways-to-eat-all-the-green-things-this-spring-230236 Later in the season, I might try fried (green) tomatoes or okra. Someone here -- Amira? -- suggested broiled romaine a while back. I tried that and it was excellent. Grilled Vidalia (or other) onions with a light honey/apple cider glaze. Collards or kale, but not boiled to death; I like these with a bit of balsamic vinegar and flaked pepperat the end of cooking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoobie Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Okra and tomatoes or oven roasted okra (it tastes fried with no breading or anything needed!) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'd serve it with baked okra, and some kale cooked with garlic, probably also some green beans. And carrots, because we have a surfeit of them right now and they're making their way into every single meal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
