It’s Mardi Gras!!!!!  Woooo hoooo!!!! Ok so it’s almost over but hey just because I can’t be in New Orleans flashing my tah-tahs, hollaring and drinking doesn’t mean that I can’t  celebrate with some Louisiana cajun flavor here in my north carolina kitchen!

So today I whipped up some Cajun Kielbasa Couscous!  This is a family favorite meal in my house.  It’s easy, quick and tasty!

 

cajun kielbasa couscous recipeMy little one LOVES this stuff; peppers, onions and all. I don’t add cajun seasoning to his plate though. Go as heavy on the cajun seasoning as your taste buds will allow or leave it out, either way, it’s still guuud!!

If you’re gonna serve this as a side dish I’d cut back on the sausage because this is a really hearty meal. I just love the way couscous tastes with the celery and kielbasa.

It’s a keeper!

Watch me make Cajun Kielbasa Couscous from start to finish!

Notes

If using any other type of sausage you may need to drain the fat a little before adding in the veggies
~Tips~
Add red peppers or others veggies & meats if desired.
Be sure to use a flavorful sausage with the dish since most of the flavor comes from the meat.
