Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.”
-Paul Prudhomme, Chef

The refrigerator light goes on...

I doesn't get much more Mediterranean than this! Good oil, lots of veggies, a little bit of meat, whole grains and fish.

I choose my sausage carefully. First and foremost, it can be very salty. The andouille that I used in this recipe contains 400 mg in a 2 ounce serving. This is pretty reasonable and you should look carefully at the package and set that as your target. Many sausages can have twice that amount.

Bay Leaves

Bay leaves come from a species of evergreen laurel originally found in the Mediterranean. The fresh leaves are glossy and smooth and fragrant but are difficult to find fresh as most that are sold commercially have been dried.

There are two main types of bay leaves – Turkish and Californian. Turkish bay leaves are not as strong but have a more complex flavor and are thought of as the superior herb.
