Creole cooking at its best, it’s easy and oh so tasty! We’ve used a meat substitute for a vegetarian version but this can simply be replaced with chicken, prawns or chorizo.

  • 2 celery sticks - sliced
  • 2 green peppers - diced
  • 2 medium carrots - peeled and sliced

  4. Add the flour and stir to form a paste.

  5. Add the Cajun spices and continue to stir.

  6. Start adding the vegetable stock, a little at a time, so that the flour thickens the stock.
