Maque choux is a Creole dish originating from Louisiana. It is typically prepared with a combination of corn, bell peppers, tomatoes, and onions, and some recipes also call for the addition of celery and garlic. The ingredients are braised until tender, and maque choux is then served as a side dish.

Hot sauce or sugar might be added to the pot before serving in order to add more flavor. Although maque choux is typically served as a side dish, it can also be consumed as a main meal when served over rice.
