CAJUN SWEET PEAS



Cajun Sweet Peas image

A pure Cajun dish. Sweet Peas in a Roux. I had this every week of my life growing up at Mom's house in South Louisiana. Still have it regularly. Great as a side dish (alone or served over rice) alongside any fried, baked, or grilled meat, poultry, or fish.
