Cajun Maque Choux / Cajun Succotash image

This side dish is an excellent acccompaniment to any Cajun or Creole entree. Maque Choux usually does not contain okra, that's my little enhancement!

This recipe was a complete disaster. The maque choux turned out mushy and tasteless.

The maque choux was good, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use more seasoning.

This maque choux was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I'll probably use less cayenne pepper next time.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of okra, but I'm so glad I did! The okra was cooked perfectly, and the overall flavor of the dish was amazing.
