• Remove the mushrooms from the marinade and press between paper towels or in a dish towel to remove excess marinade, then sprinkle with remaining Cajun seasoning, pressing the seasoning into both sides of the mushroom slices. Discard the marinade(or save for another use).
• In a cast iron skillet over medium high heat, cook the mushrooms in a single layer(you may need to do this in two batches) until blackened, 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate.
• Remoulade:.
• Place all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend on high for 1 minute. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• Makes 1 3/4 cups.

Steps:

• Blackened Catfish.
• Season fish liberally on one side with blackening spice and a small amount of salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place cast iron skillet on a burner and turn on high for about 3 minutes, until it becomes very hot. Turn off flame, add oil and place fish, seasoning side down, in pan.
• Turn flame back on and cook fish, seasoning side down, until translucent, about 5 minutes. The fish will turn white except for a small amount of pink in center. At this point, turn off heat and flip fish over in pan.
• Allow to sit in pan for about 1 minute. Remove from pan and place on a paper towel to absorb some of residual oil.
• Heat three tortillas in microwave for 30 seconds, to warm. Spread a small amount of remoulade on each tortilla, then lay three roughly equal-sized portions of fish on individual tacos. Top with lettuce (or cabbage) and tomato, then dollop a generous portion of remoulade on top of tacos. Makes 4 servings of 3 tacos.

CAJUN TURKEY SANDWICH

• Place roast, skin side up, on flat roasting rack in 2-inch deep roasting pan. Spray roast with cooking spray. Bake 1-3/4 to 2 hours, or until meat thermometer inserted in center of roast reaches 170°F
• Let roast stand 10 minutes before removing string netting; carve into thin slices.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Add green and red peppers and onion; cook and stir 8 minutes, or until tender. Stir in hot sauce and celery seed. Remove from heat.
• Spread bottom halves of rolls evenly with mayonnaise. Top each of the bottoms with 1 slice cheese, 1/8 of the turkey and vegetables and top halves of rolls.

CAKE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Cook the cake as directed on the box for a 13 X 9 cake.
• After the cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl. Make sure any parts that have a more crusty texture (from the outside edge of the pan) are picked out.
• Mix the cake thoroughly with the cream cheese frosting (like you would mix meatloaf). Make sure the cake is moist enough to roll into balls, but not mushy; you may not need to use all of the frosting (I find that about 3/4 of the container is a good amount).
• Roll the mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet.
• Chill for several hours (you can speed this up by putting in the freezer).
• Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package.
• Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use two spoons to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.).
• Decorate as desired.
• NOTES:.
• For steps 3 and 4, I found it works very well to wear powder-free latex gloves (if you're not allergic). I already have them for cutting jalapenos. They don't stick to the cake, and no coloring gets on your hands (if you're working with a red velvet cake, like in my eyeball pictures).
• If using small sprinkles to decorate, use a 1/4 teaspoons measuring spoon, and sprinkle a little on the top of each cake truffle before the chocolate coating firms up.
• I chilled my cake truffles in the refrigerator overnight (for step 5), and they were easy to work with.
• I used a 1 lb. bag of candy melts from the craft store, but I ran out near the last 1/3 of my cake truffles, so I covered the rest with either powdered sugar or drizzled semi-sweet chocolate (therefore, I recommend using more than one bag of candy melts, or a couple of packages of candy bark available at most grocery stores).
• The recipe says it makes 40-50 cake truffles, but I usually get about 88 (I must roll them smaller).
