Description
A rich and flavorful Cajun cream sauce that enhances any dish with its creamy texture and spicy kick.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ½ cup onion, finely chopped
- ½ cup green bell pepper, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1½ to 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup chicken broth (or veggie broth)
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper. Stir until they’re soft and smell amazing.
- Toss in the garlic and Cajun seasoning. Stir for 30 seconds so the spices wake up. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for about a minute to lose that raw flour taste.
- Slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Go slow so you don’t get lumps. Do the same with the cream until it’s smooth.
- Let it bubble gently, then turn heat to low. Simmer a few minutes until it’s thick enough to coat a spoon.
- Take the pan off the heat. Stir in Parmesan and parsley until melted and silky. Taste and add salt or pepper if needed.
Notes
Adjust the Cajun seasoning to match your heat preference. For added acidity, a squeeze of lemon juice or hot sauce can enhance the flavor.
