About Cajun gravy

Cajun Gravy is a rich, savory sauce rooted in the bold flavors of Southern Louisiana cuisine. Crafted from a blend of traditional ingredients such as roux (flour and fat), chicken or beef stock, and Cajun spices like paprika, garlic, and cayenne pepper, it delivers a smoky, spicy depth characteristic of Cajun cooking. Often served over fried chicken, biscuits, or rice, the gravy is beloved for its hearty taste and comforting texture. While Cajun Gravy provides a satisfying burst of flavor, it is typically high in sodium and fat, particularly when made with bacon drippings or butter in the roux. Moderation is recommended for those watching their calorie or sodium intake. On the plus side, its use of spices like paprika and cayenne may provide antioxidants and promote metabolism. A flavorful indulgence, Cajun Gravy captures the zest and warmth of Louisiana's culinary heritage.
