Uncle Jim Says:
If you use the turkey sausage, low fat margerine & no-salt Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning this dish is a hearty and body-healthy meal with all the taste and "shazam" of great eating.
Remember: ALWAYS wear latex gloves when handling fresh hot peppers. The oil from the peppers can and will withstand soap & water. If you don't wear gloves, DO NOT touch anything you wish to use in the near future, especially your eyes or "private parts" :-)
A Few Suggestions from Tommy :
Bloody Marys:
Add Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning to your favorite Bloody Mary recipe and garnish it with hot picked Okra for a Cajun flavor. You can rim the glass with some Uncle Jim's as well.
Scrambled Eggs:
Mix some Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning and grated cheese into your eggs when scrambling to jazz up the flavor.
Meatloaf:
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning to your meatloaf mix and sprinkle some on top before baking.
Corn on the Cob:
Put a tablespoon of Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning in the boiling water before adding the corn. Sprinkle it on the corn after buttering it too!
A Few Suggestions from Chele :
Marinades:
Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning is a main ingredient in all of our marinades. It can replace many of the spices you normally use, especiall salt.
Cucumber Salad:
Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning is a great garnish for your creamy cucumber salad and it adds a lot of flavor as well. It eliminates the need for salt too!
Grilled Chicken Breast:
Top your chicken breasts with Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning and some fresh Tarragon before grilling to give this meal an exciting new flavor and aroma.
Alfredo Sauce:
Put a tablespoon of Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning in the Alfredo Sauce as it cooks. We like "Chicken and Scallops Alfredo w/mushrooms" over angel hair pasta. For another interesting twist, garnish with more Uncle Jim's and some capers.
2 - Rabbits4 gallons - Anchor Bar Buffalo Wing Sauce (or to taste)
2 - Fresh Cayenne PeppersCanned Brown Gravy (buy in bulk and save!)
Cut elephant into bite sized pieces. Plan to start early as this should take approximately 2 months. Add the Anchor Bar Buffalo Wing Sauce (we sell that too :-) and enough brown gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene flame at 465-degrees until tender (about 4 weeks). Season with Uncle Jim's Cajun Seasoning and add fresh Cayenne pepper (very important!). Simmer 1/2 hour longer.
This should serve about 3,800 people. If more people are expected for your party, add the 2 rabbits about 3 days before serving.
NOTE: Only add the rabbits if necessary as most people don't like to find hares in their stew!
Editor's Notes:
1. If you don't have fresh Cayenne, shame on you! You can, however, substitute dried or powded Cayenne to taste.
2. Did I mention that we also sell all varieties of The Original Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings Sauces too?
All of us at ComMark are HUGE football fans. Nothing is more fun on a brisk fall day than a tailgating party! Uncle Jim came up with this recipe that is great for any large gathering.
It's one of our favorites and we hope it'll become one of yours too!!
