Directions

1. Alex Patout says, “Smothering is a multipurpose Cajun technique that works wonders with everything from game to snap beans.
2. It’s similar to what the rest of the world knows as braising.
3. The ingredients are briefly browned or sauteed, then cooked with a little liquid over a low heat for a long time.”
