brown gravy, rice

Rice and gravy is a staple of Louisiana Creole and Cajun cuisine,[1] made by deglazing a pan to make brown gravy, simmering with extra seasonings, and serving over steamed or boiled rice.

Preparation

Rice has been a major agricultural export crop in southwest

mirepoix variant of onions, bell peppers, and celery in roughly equal quantities, although other vegetables can also be used.[9]

Originally a dish favored by farmers and laborers, it is now often served in local plate lunch houses.[10] Raised on Rice and Gravy, a 2009 documentary film by Conni Castille and Allison Bohl, chronicles the prevalence of the dish at local plate lunch houses and its enduring popularity in Acadiana cuisine.[11] Abbeville native Bobby Charles' Rice 'N' Gravy Records is named for the popular dish.[12] Acadian Village in Lafayette is home to the annual "Rice and Gravy Cook-Off" sponsored by the Louisiana Beef Council.[13][14]
