This recipe is a variation of a classic that looks great for those who want an interesting dish, but don't have the time to spend that housewives in the 19th century did. Louisianans usually use "the trinity" of onion, garlic and green pepper. They also usually star with a roux made of butter and flour. It may be a bit less healthy, but it is tasty!
