If you’ve never heard of it before, etouffée is a Cajun/Creole dish from New Orleans that traditionally consists of seafood (usually crawfish) “smothered” in a rich, spicy gravy thickened with a butter-based roux. So, um, unfortunately not such a vegan friendly meal. Given its focus on animal products, I should hate Cajun/Creole food, but I just can’t break up with it. I set about making a vegan version and the end result was so good, I’m tempted to throw a Mardi Gras party just to have an excuse to show it off.
