Illinois: Mardi Gras at Westminster Place

Fat Tuesday here at Westminster Place was all about fat and flavor. Guests started their meal with a tropical mango-black bean salad followed by shrimp gumbo made with a dark velvet roux.  The first entrée was blackened catfish etoufee (smothered) with dirty rice made with crispy ground chicken livers and corn maque choux a Creole corn dish, garnished with Boudin (blood sausage).  The second entrée offered was chicken and sausage jambalaya served with bacon braised green beans.  We served warm peach cobbler for dessert.
