BLEND OF THE BAYOU

This recipe is slightly different that the other recipe that is posted for Blend of the Bayou. Here in Louisiana there are several versions of this dish. This is the one that is served at a local restaurant in their plate lunches on Friday. This dish freezes well and everyone I've served it to really enjoys it.

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me when I first moved to Louisiana. It's been handed down in my husband's family for generations. It's quick to prepare, nutritious and beautiful. I've passed it on to my children, too. -Ruby Williams, Bogalusa, Louisiana
