A Cajun-style loose meat sandwich, made with ground beef and pork, the trinity veggies, mushroom sauce and a mixture of seasonings, piled on a pistolette roll or po'boy bread.

Cajun Farre Loose Meat Sandwich

Ever heard of a Cajun Farre dressing sandwich?

Probably not, because while it is pretty common in some areas of Louisiana, even often being served as a sandwich spread at parties, as a funeral food and yes, even wedding receptions, it's still not well known even across all of Louisiana, and certainly not the Southern region.

Well... we're gonna change that!

Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, these fried chicken livers get the classic southern fried chicken treatment, with a hot sauce enhanced buttermilk marinade, followed by a dredge in nicely seasoned flour and deep fried.

Southern-Style Fried Chicken Livers

I know that some of you ran the other way when you saw the title of this post, but y'all... just like a good beef liver and onions, I love fried chicken livers. But I do understand. The Cajun won't touch those either.

So let's just say that this post is only intended for the common lovers of fried chicken livers.

The rest of y'all, hang on!

Cajun rice dressing is a rice based mixture similar to dirty rice and often served during the holidays. Some folks say omitting the livers is what sets it apart, but I like to include them along with a small roux.

Cajun Rice Dressing

This Cajun Farre Rice Dressing is essentially a dirty rice recipe, sometimes called Dirty Rice Jambalaya, that's been jazzed up a bit with a small roux for the holidays, beef stock added and baked, resulting in a more moist dish than dirty rice. It often makes an appearance both stuffed into some kind of bird or beef, or just simply as a side dish. 

I most often make this with chicken livers, or I use all of the giblets, though some folks say that rice dressing shouldn't have the livers - only dirty rice. I say do what you like! Love them? Use them. Not so fond of them? Don't use them. I happen to like them and so long as I grind them up, The Husband, aka The Cajun, who wouldn't touch liver for the life of him, gobbles it up. Hey, don't judge! All I can say is it works, because not only does he eat it, but he always goes back for more.
