My mom is from the Westbank and we’d go back home for holidays and summers every year growing up. As long as Imcan remember they turned me on to Central Grocery and I can’t be within 2 hours from NOLA without making a detour to buy and eat the whole thing within a couple of hours.
@@iceWaterProductions1 Amen! I love them. I grew up on the West Bank as well. I lived in Marrero, Westwego Gretna, Terrytown.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine Westwego. I was conceived there, but my parent moved back to Texas where my dad was raised when my mom was 7 months due to my dads job at HESS Chemicals closing down. He knew he had a job at Monsanto over here. I also have great memories of McKenzie bakeries, especially the one on 4th Street in Westwego.
These pies can be frozen regardless of the dough used?
Thanks! We’re gonna try this at home. A couple of questions; I like the two layers of meat and cheese. Another recipe only used one layer and 4 Oz of each meat and cheese. So for 2 layers should I get 8 Oz of each?
Yes sir. Honestly, I had roughly a pound of each meat and just put as much as I wanted. I didn't measure but your logic would be correct.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisinemany thanks!
Awesome Tutorial and Helpful Information
Thank you! As a matter of fact, I'm making these today! So good! Thank you for stopping by.
Dig the recipe. Thanks
You are welcome! Thank you for stopping by!
Fantastic. I've been subscribed for a while but I'm not seeing any of these. I think you're great and love your dishes.
That's awesome! Thank you so much! I'm not sure why my videos are not going out to my subscribers. I'll look into that.
Your version is great. Cajuns do not use tomatoes in their cooling, CREOLES use it. Here's New Orlean's Copelands Recipe I'm sharing w/you.. Copeland’s Restaurant Crawfish Bread Recipe The Copeland’s Restaurant Crawfish Bread Recipe is a popular appetizer that combines the flavors of crawfish, cheese, and bread. Here’s a breakdown of the recipe based on the provided search results: Ingredients: 1 lb peeled, cleaned, and deveined crawfish tail meat 1/2 stick butter 1 clove minced garlic 3/4 cup ripe, chopped, & drained Tomatoes 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning 3/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 cup mayonnaise 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 loaf French bread Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Rinse the crawfish and sauté them in butter with garlic, tomatoes, and Cajun seasoning until cooked through. In a bowl, mix together the cheeses, mayonnaise, and parsley. Add the cooked crawfish mixture to the cheese mixture and stir until well combined. Cut the loaf of bread in half and then cut it lengthwise. Spoon the crawfish mixture onto the bread and bake for 10-15 minutes. Broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning. Cut the bread into individual portions and serve. YES, We've eaten there also. Enjoy.
This is awesome! Thank you so much!
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine My Pleasure. We are from Louisiana travelled Many times to NO on business trips. Stay Safe.
Yum!
It definitely was! Thank you for stopping by.
Well done sir!
Thank you.
My mother-in-law was from Natchitoches and made the best Meat Pies, (& Peanut butter cookies), EVER!!!!
That's awesome! I love peanut butter cookies!
What’s the music being played? Sound good!
So delicious
This recipe is definitely delicious! Thank you for stopping by.
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you! ⚜️
You are very welcome. Thank you for stopping by.
That dough is over mixed. It will be too tough 😂😂😂. You want tender crust. Never knead pie crust! Dude don't add any hot sauce to the pie filling. That is a gentrified pie.
I understand were you are coming from but surprisingly, the pies were nice and tender when they were done and I didn't add hot sauce to the filling. If you like hot sauce in your filling then go for it. Jalapenos would be nice there I think. I wasn't trying to make an exact replica of someone else's recipe. I'm just making a base recipe for whoever to have fun with. Thanks for stopping by and checking out the video. Oh and by the way, not by any means am I saying that my dough does not need a little work? It definitely does, but it did turn out fairly well on this one.
Try it without kneading and see the difference. They will melt in your mouth. Just make it like pie crust and you will not believe the difference. I'm speaking from 50 1 years of experience. It makes a world of difference. People will burn their hands trying to get those pies fresh out the oil or the oven.
@@anitastafford6617 I definitely will. Thank you.
That is a fabulous Muffuletta, bad boy. I served one of these to my father-in-law, and he said "you people know how to live." That's the highest praise. He mentions it to this day.
That's awesome man! it's probably one of my favorite sandwiches for sure.
use pork rinds over tortilla chips....you'll thank me later
Yes! That sounds so good. I think I'll make it this weekend and get some cracklins!
put some shredded cabbage in there and it would almost be like a runza.
That sounds really good. I'm going to try that.
I am so glad that you shared this video of making Louisiana knew that they had meat pot
You are welcome. I'm so glad you found the video and enjoyed it. Thank you for stopping by.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine thank you 🙏🏾
Probably a leftover from the Spanish times, ie. An Empanada
Yes, exactly.
in Australia UK etc that would be a Pastie not a meat pie
Yeah it's crazy how different the English language is across the globe. Heck, it's different across the US. I hope you enjoyed the video and thank you for stopping by.
i did mate @@WestCoastCajunCuisine
Yummy meat pies👍👍
They definitely were! Thanks for stopping by.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine ask my mom about it she said yeah I know about those pies
That really brought back memories to Café du monde... thank you
You are welcome! I love them so much. I had to learn how to make them when I moved away.
I found that the yellowish crawfish fat makes a difference to give that rich flavor.
Yes sir! It makes all the difference. It's packed full of flavor. I think it gets a bad rap sometimes.
No DOUBT about it . That has to be good.
It was ridiculously good! So good in fact, I don't think I'll make one any other way.
Meat pies look great but your background music rocks.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. 5hanks for stopping by.
Great job on video. Keep it up!
Thank you!
Solid recipe 🤤
Hey Blevin! That looks delicious. Miss your face! 😊
Thank you. Miss you guys too!
Hey Blevin.....that Tomahawk Steak looks crazy delicious. You're so right about the salt content those store bought Cajun Seasoning....I prefer making my own that way I've totally control of adding the amount of salt I desire. Take care and Season Greetings to you and your family. Cheers!
Thank you sir. Yeah you definitely have to be careful with salt when it comes to store bought seasonings. Happy Holidays brother.
Great recipe, great channel. I've been around the youtube block for a looong time. You're going to go BIG. Just keep on keepin' on and please don't give up. The K will flip to M soon enough - but not overnight... New sub here ❤🐾
Thank you so much. Don't worry, I'm going to keep going. I love sharing recipes!
If you get a chance, try making boudin egg rolls. They are great!
Didn't think of that. That will definitely be a video! Look for a shout-out when I release it!
Nice looking pies. I love meat pies. Here in Louisiana, all the convenience stores have them ready to go.
Good looking gumbo.
My family loves this gumbo. We have it around 2 to 3 times a month during the winter.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine I cheat a little when I make mine. I buy Savoie’s roux in a jar, to cut out a step. Certified Cajun. I get the dark, but they make a light as well. Yours is a happy median, almost as if you used both. I’ll tell you a little story. I’ve seen my mom make roux many times. My first time as an adult, I tried to make a roux, it was a disaster. I thought it was water my mom was using, so all I did was make glue. I accidentally figured it out, when I was pan frying fish, dusted with seasoned flour, I saw the flour that came off, getting darker. I got a peanut boiling story, but that’s for another day, lol.
Where's the recipe posted?
In the description box below the video.
Not sure how I missed this video but just watched and wow! That looks amazing! I could almost taste it!
Thank you. It was pretty tasty, I must say.
Kudos for not deviating from the original recipe. That’s a fine loaf, and fine sandwich. Central Grocery olive mix is the best, and I’ve tried a lot of them. A little tip, we chop our olive mix up finer. It’s easier to manage, and does not change the taste.
Thank you, yeah I heard of chopping the olive salad finer and will definitely try it the next time I make this. Thanks for stopping by.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine I just subbed. I’m in south Louisiana, and have had a lot of these sandwiches from a lot of different places, but love making them myself. I’m not an expert on Cajun cooking, but can make a decent gumbo. My jambalaya is made with Oak Grove mix, as I’ve never learned from scratch. The mix is really good, as it produced a stones throw from the jambalaya capital.
Some of the very best food I ever ate was Cajun/Creole and I've been hooked ever since. I was out of town working, local crew took me to Brennan's, didn't have a clue what I was looking at on the menu. Waiter said "I'll take care of that" and took my menu. Later, he delivered blackened catfish with crawdad sauce that was out of this world! So many taste sensations going on; I'll never forget that meal. I'm pretty late to this party but glad I stumbled on your channel. Can't wait to try some of your recipes. Thanks for posting. Zk
Thank you for stopping by. If you went to Brennan's then you definitely went to the right place.
Dang that looks tasty! Glad you're back!
Thank you. Yeah it was very tasty!
I was wondering if you had a recipe for Bolognase Chalmette?
Nope. You?
Salmon is one of the healthist food a person can eat. Soy and ginger are great for health and taste. Your glaz may be good on pork ribs or ham.
This glaze is good on ribs. I have yet to try it on ham though but imagine it would be excellent. Thanks for stopping by.
That has to be awesome and fits my diet.
It was awesome! Try it out and let me know what you think.
@WestCoastCajunCuisine OK, my wife is a seafood freak. I'm on a quest right now for a chili cook off next Friday. I will cook ingredients days in advance.
@ 44240xtp so you have a good chili recipe? Hook me up! Of course it doesn't have to be your competition recipe but I love me some chili. Maybe I could feature it on the channel and make a video.
@WestCoastCajunCuisine Nope ! I have to create one. 10,000 ways to make chili. My plan is to use dried chili's and some ingredients smoked on a smoker and char and caramelize chuck roast on a Weber charcoal grill along with corse grind chili meat and deer hamburger meat. That will be 3 different textures of meat. Stew type , course, and find grind meats. In Texas we don't use beans, but I like them in my chili. My top seasoning mix will be Sazo'n by Goya foods. It is great in soups and beans. I'm going for a smokey , spicy umami flavor. The kind that leaves a good taste in your mouth after you eat a spoonful. That can be hard to come by. I'm starting off by Creating a stock like one would make for Birria tacos. That is why I'm starting to work on it a week earlier.
@ 44240xtp Well this is an older video but nonetheless a great recipe. Maybe this could help. ua-cam.com/video/hGT1_kqJQ-w/v-deo.htmlsi=6ok9xA05E39pd9CK

@@WestCoastCajunCuisine Awesome! I shoot some of my videos in Mobile county at my sons place. Not sure what part of Alabama your in. Alabama is a beautiful state, especially the northern half
@@SmokyRibsBBQ I'm in Oxford, about an hour east of Birmingham.
@@WestCoastCajunCuisine Ah ok, it's nice up that way
@@SmokyRibsBBQ Oh yeah, we love it up here.
I always loved your videos. I love authentic cajun cuisine. For the name how about "Coastal Cajun Cuisine?" This way you can live on any coast and not have to change. 🤔
Thanks man! That's a great idea. I'll definitely consider that. Although I believe this will be my last move it's still a great idea.
Coast to coast!
Thank you!
Next time use the drippings from the chicken and sausage that you should’ve thrown and browned in the pot first. Adds more flavor to your roux but looks good
