Etymology

The term 'blackening' originated in Louisiana, USA, where it became popular as a cooking technique in Cajun cuisine. The method involves seasoning meat or fish with a combination of spices and herbs, then cooking it in a very hot cast-iron skillet to create a charred, blackened exterior. This technique adds a unique flavor to the dish and has since spread to other culinary traditions.
