First off, trust that the 14 cans of diced tomatoes is a typo. I used only one and it worked out fine. A very tasty quick variety dish, but feel a true cajun taste can only be acquired by much longer cooking time. I added a dash of creole seasoning, along with some chopped green peppers and spring onions that I had. It was good and we will use it again. Thanks for posting it.
