If you're trying to master New Orleans-style creole or Cajun cooking for the big game this weekend, it's important to know about the "holy trinity" of seasoning. When making a dish – gumbo, red beans and rice, etouffee, jambalaya – you won't go wrong if you remember that what we locals call the "Holy Trinity" should always be your basic seasoning trio. Always!
To make the holy trinity you will need fresh onions, green bell peppers and celery. All of these ingredients are fresh and healthy! Check out the health benefits of onion, the health benefits of bell peppers and the health benefits of celery.
Ingredients
- chopped onions
- chopped green bell peppers
- chopped celery
Once you understand how important this trio is, it'll be easier for you to cook "N'awlins" style or create your own NOLA recipes off the cuff. Now, you can:
- Add sausage and rice for a very basic jambalaya.
- Add these to a roux, add bone-in chicken and make a chicken stew or gumbo.
- Create your own recipes by experimenting with different meats and vegetables!
