1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 1/2 teaspoons cane syrup or light molasses
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients except butter in a medium saucepan over high heat. When the mixture comes to a boil, reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes. Strain the sauce through a fine -- mesh strainer, return it to the saucepan, and stir in the butter. Set aside. If refrigerating the sauce overnight, gently reheat for 1 minute, whisk in 1 tablespoon cold water, and continue whisking over low heat until sauce is heated through. Do not boil.
  • Prepare the marinade by adding the allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves to a small skillet. Heat the spices over medium -- low heat for 45 to 60 seconds, stirring frequently. Transfer to a coffee grinder and grind to a fine powder. Put the spice mixture and the remaining ingredients into a blender and puree into a thick paste. Store in a covered container and refrigerate for up to a week.
  • ROASTED-GARLIC PUREE Preheat the oven to300 degrees.
  • Place the garlic in a small ovenproof container and pour in the oil. Use additional oil if needed to completely immerse all the garlic cloves. Cover the container with aluminum foil and roast 1 hour, until garlic is soft and light golden brown.
  • Strain the garlic and place in a blender along with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Puree to a smooth consistency, adding a small amount of oil if necessary. Pour into a container and cover the top of the puree with a thin layer of the oil. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
  • Combine all ingredients in a small bowl until thoroughly mixed. Store in an airtight container. The spice mix keeps its best flavor for about 2 months.

Provided by tpurr

Number Of Ingredients 29

Makes 1 cup:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
4 teaspoons plus 1/2 teaspoon Angel Dust Cajun Seasoning
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 pound andouille, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup diced yellow onion
3/4 cup thinly sliced green onion, white and green parts
1/2 cups diced red onion
2 cups seeded, diced green bell pepper
1 1/2 cups diced celery
1 tablespoon seeded, minced jalapeno
1 tablespoon Roasted-Garlic Puree (see below)
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 small bay leaf
6 1/3 cups chicken stock
1 cup Dark Roux (see below)
1/4 teaspoon filé powder (see note)
White rice
Roasted-Garlic Puree
1 cup peeled garlic cloves
1 cup extra virgin or regular olive oil
Dark Roux
Makes 2 cups:
2 cups canola oil
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a 4-quart dutch oven over high heat until very hot, about 3 minutes. Carefully whisk in the flour a little at a time until all the flour is incorporated. (The mixture will foam up as you add the flour, so add a small amount at a time.) Reduce the heat to medium and stir continuously, preferably with a flat-edged wooded spoon, for 22 to 25 minutes, until the roux is a dark brown. To prevent the roux from cooking any further, carefully pour it into a heat-proof bowl and cool for 45 minutes. Drain of any oil that separates from the roux. Store the roux in a covered container and refrigerate Directions Toss the chicken and 4 teaspoons of the Cajun seasoning together in a medium-seized bowl and set aside. In a large (7-quart) heavy Dutch oven, preferable enameled cast iron, heat the oil over high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the andouille and brown for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the bell pepper, celery, jalapeno, and garlic puree, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the basil, oregano, ground black and white peppers, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, and remaining ½ teaspoon of Cajun seasoning; cook for 2 minutes more. Pour in the stock and bring to a boil. Whisk in the roux a little at a time and stir continuously for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent the mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat and stir in the filé powder. Do not let the mixture boil once you have added the filé powder. Remove the bay leaf. Serve with cooked white rice.
