In Cajun and Creole cooking there's a heavy influence of French cuisine. Most Cajun dishes, as a general rule, start with this basic ingredient combination. This compilation of Cajun holy trinity recipes are, in my opinion, the best.
![A collage of five Cajun holy trinity recipes with text overlay.](https://thecaglediaries.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/20-Mouthwatering-Cajun-Holy-Trinity-Recipes-Hero-1.jpg)
The holy trinity of Cajun cooking is 99% of the time started with a combination of onions, green bell pepper and celery.
Much like the traditional mirepoix (onion, celery and carrot), it adds rich flavors like no other.
Hint: Some of these recipes might be questionable as to being actual Cajun recipes, or Creole cuisine, but they are recipes that are frequently made by Cajuns and have that unique flavor, usually by adding andouille sausages, or other such flavorful ingredients..
