The Pig and the Cajun Microwave/ by Alexa Montgomery, Catering
These are pictures from my trip home last weekend. Mark and I eloped in September, but we wanted to celebrate in true Cajun, Creole fashion at a Cochon de Lait- A pig roast! So our friends and family were invited to ‘Come Pass a Good Time’ in River Ridge, Louisiana. The Pig is in the photo above.
This is the Obligatory Pot of Jambalaya. (photo above)
The most intriguing part of all this is the Cajun Microwave (photo below) which is a wooden box built with the heat source on top. The pig is seasoned and butterflied and cooked for 12 to 20 hours depending on the size. My dad and his friend Mark Haney started this 82 pound pig at 5:30 am. We ate during the 2nd quarter of the LSU Alabama game. We were all encouraged to kiss the pig to ensure LSU’s victory.
Here’s the link for Cajun microwave building plans. Gotta love the Cajuns!
