I’ve never heard of black spices. What are they and what do I use if I can’t get them where I live?
It’s used in Cajun and Creole cuisine. You can purchase them ready made in grocery stores or online. Or make your own using these spices: Smoked paprika, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne.
Can you recommend a substitute for heavy cream? Or can I exclude it?
The heavy cream is what gives it a lovely, creamy texture. You can substitute with whole milk and butter, or yogurt.
Help me! I never can find the recipes. I look all over the page and nothing.
