Couche Couche Recipes

Big giant alligator in Louisiana!

Couche Couche is a classic Cajun food that can be spelled at least three different ways: couche couche, couch couch, and cush cush. No matter which way you decide to spell it, couche couche really is a unique Cajun treat. For generations, this Cajun food was a staple on dinner tables. Now it's your turn to give it a try. While it was traditionally eaten as a Cajun breakfast like a hot cereal, it can be eaten at any time. It can be compared to a fried cornmeal mush, but it's really a lot better.

There are a few couche couche recipes, but this is our favorite one. If you have some couche couche recipes that you would like to share, will you email us?
