Herbie’s Spices Cajun Spice Mix
2 fillets chicken breast or 2 fillets of a firm-fleshed fish such as ling
2 tablespoons butter
Methods/steps
-
Sprinkle the Cajun Spice Mix over both sides of the fillets, patting on firmly so that they are well coated.
-
Heat the butter in a heavy-based pan – it needs to be hot, as the burning butter is part of the colouring and flavouring effect of Cajun.
-
Cook the meat over moderate heat until done and serve immediately.
Additional Tips
Alternatively, the meat can be cooked without butter on a grill or barbecue. Although traditionally used for white meats such as chicken or fish, this spice mix makes a fabulous dry marinade for steak to be barbecued.
