It just requires that you get the best ingredients you can, and cook them simply, but well. The sauce has so much fat in it, that when well made, it cannot help but fairly burst with flavor. chadzilla--I've seen many a Creole cook's recipe that used butter--the Cajuns' recipes tend not to. I prefer lard, myself--but I didn't have enough of it around to use all lard, so I used half butter. The title of the blog comes from an old Zen koan, though I bet a Cajun storyteller could come up with a really good variant of it! Jim--you win geek points for your comment! I wouldn't mind being as handsome as Gambit, either! Thank you, Maninas! A hug back to you!
