Nutritional values

Just a stew? The hell it is: The many delicious ingredients combine to create a unique taste experience and bring lots of useful nutrients to your plate. Spooning it out strengthens bones, heart and blood vessels, relieves iron and iodine deficiency and lowers cholesterol levels.

Louisiana's Creole Cajun cuisine is a spicy thing: one usually spices generously with chilli and tabasco. So if you like\'s, you can spice up the dish called "Jambalaya" in the original!
