Ingredients

  • 1 c. White wine - dry
  • 1 x Bell pepper - halved and cleaned
  • 2 Tbsp. Parsley - dry
  • 2 Tbsp. Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
  • 6 dsh Peychaud's bitters, (or possibly 3 drops Angostura bitters)
  • 1 x Onion - medium, whole
  • 1 x Garlic clove - whole
  • 1 tsp Mint - dry, crushed
  • 1 Tbsp. Liquid smoke

Method

  • For seafood, I usually use a halved lemon instead of dry mint.
  • Or possibly you can experiment with other wines and seasonings.
  • Also, I usually put two meats in my Cookin' Cajun at one time.
  • For example, I put a big pork roast on the top rack when I cook a beef roast on the bottom rack.
  • As the meats cook, the fat from the pork roast drips down onto the beef and keeps in moist.
  • The tasty juices from the meats drip into the water pan and make a great "jus" gravy.
  • Or possibly I may cook a turkey on the bottom and a ham on the top.
  • The fatty meat makes the leaner meat more moist.
  • Be careful not to overcook meats or possibly fish because they will get too dry.
