Hello Andras!
This is a recipe that I made recently and found wonderful. It's good hot and
just as wonderful as a sandwich cold.

Title: Very Hot Cajun Sauce
Categories: Sauces, Cajun, Meats
Yield: 6 servings
3/4 c Onions; *
1/2 c Green bell peppers; *
1/4 c Celery; *
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1/4 c Plain flour
1 tb All-purpose flour
3/4 ts Ground cayenne
1/2 ts White pepper
1/2 ts Black pepper
2 Bay leaves
1/4 c Jalapeno peppers **
1 ts Garlic **
3 c Beef stock
NB * chopped ** minced (fresh Jalapenos are preferred; if you have to
use pickled ones, rinse as much vinegar from them as possible)
Combine onions, bell peppers and celery in a small bowl and set aside
while yo start the roux. In a heavy 2-quart saucepan heat the oil
over medium-low heat to about 250F. With a metal whisk, whisk in the
flour a little at a time until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking
constantly, until roux is light brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Be
careful not to let the roux scorch or splash on your skin. Remove
from heat and with a spoon immediately stir in the vegetable mixture
and the red, white, and black peppers; return pan to high heat and
cook about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.(We're cooking the
seasonings and vegetables in the light roux and the mixture should,
therefore,be pasty.) Remove from heat.
In a separate 2-quart saucepan, bring the stock to a boil. Add the
roux mixture by spoonfuls to the boiling stock, stirring until
dissolved between each addition. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce
heat to a simmer and cook until the sauce reduces to 3 1/2 cups,
about 15 minutes. Skim off any oil from the top and serve immediately.
