Directions
Mama’s Couche Couche,A simple Cajun breakfast delicacy, pronounced “coosh-coosh.” Warm cane syrup and caf au lait would be appropriate accompaniments. This is home cooking at its best. Recipe from the New Orleans Times-Picayune.,This was a very unusual breakfast for us, but nonetheless delicious. I did as some reviewers commented and actually chopped up the bacon used for dripping into the cornbread couche couche (love the name!). The hit of sweet with savoury was yummy.,This was a really pleasant surprise for me! For some reason I have always shied away from serving cornbread/cornmeal in a sweet fashion, so I was a little bit wary coming into making the recipe. I don’t know what I was worried about, it is truly yummy! I don’t eat bacon so used oil; I imagine that made my dish less savory. No matter, it still tasted great! Made for ZWT 9, Gourmet Goddesses.
