Happy Mardi Gras!
Happy Mardi Gras from FoodPair! Though it's too late to catch a flight down to The Big Easy to celebrate with the insane crowds, there are plenty of fun & easy things you can whip up in the comfort of your own home to celebrate the best of Fat Tuesday and New Orleans.
Mardi Gras, translated as Fat Tuesday, is a giant party held the last day before the start of Lent on Ash Wednesday. For those observing Lent, Mardi Gras is the last day to eat rich foods for a long time, so major feasting is in order! As they say in New Orleans, Laissez les bons temps rouler, let the good times roll on Mardi Gras.
It's a great time to make one of our favorite dishes: Jambalaya. Not only is it fun to say (Jambalaya!), it's a delicious rice stew with chicken and sausage. Many Cajun and Creole dishes start with the "holy trinity" of chopped onions, bell peppers and celery, which are staples of cooking across Louisiana.
To help you assemble a parade of Mardi Gras dishes, we fired up the increasingly powerful FoodPair search engine and found a handful of great recipes from across the Web.
