Louisiana Sauce Piquante

chingador · Nov 11, 2012

This is a little known Cajun dish. It is a reddish gravy, which, like just about every Cajun gravy starts with a roux and trinity, and like most Cajun gravies, can just about include any type of protein. The main difference is that sauce Piquante also includes tomato.

I decided to make this dish today. The protein of choice was to be andouille sausage and leftover smoked pork country style ribs. Ingredients below:

Now we make a roux. I wanted to go dark chocolate, but was running short so I went just past milk chocolate. Added the trinity and stirred. A few minutes later, added some tomato paste, some red wine, andouille, then garlic. Once that was worked in, added stock, salt, cayenne and a few bay leaves. Simmered for a couple of hours, then added the leftover pork. Adjusted seasoning and went to town. Serve with rice, garlic bread and a glass of wine. Very good stuff.

I've eaten Turtle Sauce Piquant and Shrimp Sauce Piquant on numerous occasions. It's kind of a staple back home.
Your dish looks like you nailed it. Excellent.

My cousin from Louisiana likes to make this with Axis deer. He is a big deer hunter. The strong flavors of this dish do work well with wild game. I was thinking about making it with lamb. The leftover smoked pork was excellent.
