Warming up Autumn with some Cajun Spice

As the days grow shorter and the evenings turn crisp, many of us naturally crave deeper, warming flavours and that’s where our marinades and drizzles can help create some delicious autumn dishes.

Try our Cajun Marinade packed with bold spices and a smoky kick, it’s inspired by the vibrant cooking of Louisiana, a cuisine known for its big flavours, rustic charm, and comforting, hearty dishes.

What makes Cajun cooking so loved is its ability to transform simple ingredients into dishes that feel special. And with our marinade, you can bring that same magic to your own kitchen without the fuss.

We've created two easy autumn recipes that put our Cajun Marinade at centre stage, perfect for cosy suppers and weekend treats.

Cajun Chicken & Sweet Potato Stew

Serves: 2

Time: 30-35 minutes

Ingredients:

4 chicken thighs

Lincolnshire Drizzle Cajun Marinade

2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed

1 tin chopped tomatoes

Cajun Cooking Tips

1. Marinate for depth — Even 20 minutes makes a difference, but leaving your meat or veggies in our Cajun Marinade overnight brings out the boldest flavour.

2. Balance the spice — Cajun cooking is all about heat and heart, but pair spicy mains with creamy sides (think mashed potatoes, yoghurt dips, or coleslaw) for a perfect contrast.
