Easy Dinner Recipes

There is something to be said about the richness of savory oxtails cooked in the perfect gravy. I decided to put a little spin on this recipe by incorporating a Louisiana style roux with the base along with Chilau Gumbo sauce. It results in the richness of Gumbo but with the rich beefy flavor of oxtails. This recipes can also be made with Chilau Original. 

Sunday Night Dinner, super easy and quick. There are lots of options for substituting other meats, veggies and low carb options. Just use Chilau as the base! Get fancy without it taking ages in the kitchen with this Bowtie pasta recipe. 

Chilau Sauce and seasonings are excellent for non-seafood based recipes. I stumbled on this extra large cast iron skillet recently and decided to make chicken and rice in it. For this recipe I went with chicken thighs as they maintain their juiciness throughout the cooking process. This recipe would work great as well with seafood and other meat selections. Excellent flavor!

I get asked all the time, What is the recipe in that picture!?!?! It's similar to our bisque recipe with the addition of cheddar cheese and chorizo sausage. It's super easy to make and great over grits or rice! 

 

 

The cooking style of seafood stew varies from city to city, each using their own unique twist. Every coastal area has a signature seafood stew and west coast Cioppino, popular in San Francisco, is one of them. I noticed the similarities to Tampa Style Crab Chilau so I decided to give it a shot, the results were amazing! I used mussels, clams, Dungeness crab and salmon, then served it up with some crusty bread! Click the link for the full recipe! 

This recipe is a spinoff from our cornbread deviled crab recipe but in the form of a meaty crab cake. Use as much blue crab meat as you like! With the addition of Chilau Sauce, it's like a crab cake that already has the hot sauce cooked into the center with that authentic gulf coast flavor!
