4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large red onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 ears of corn, kernels sliced off (or 3 cups thawed frozen corn)

CREOLE CORNBREAD STUFFING (EMERIL'S)



Creole Cornbread Stuffing (Emeril's) image

Saw this on Good Morning America. I decided immediately it had to be a last minute addition to our Thanksgiving menu. My 22 year old son was thrilled to have it assigned to him ("instead of a sissy salad"). He breezed through making it and we all thought it was so good it had to have a permanent place on our Thanksgiving menu. Highly recommended (although it may be a tad spicy for some -- if you are timid about spices, go easy on them).

CREOLE CAESAR SALAD WITH CORN BREAD CROUTONS



Creole Caesar Salad With Corn Bread Croutons image

My love for okra began as a child and continues to border on just this side of insanity. I love okra. As a young boy, I would smuggle a brown bag full of fried okra into the movies as my better-than-popcorn snack. On Sunday nights, I was famous for making fried okra and creamed corn sandwiches with fresh slices of tomato and loads of Duke's mayonnaise. Years later, while studying in Italy, I realized that Italians also took leftover vegetables and made sandwiches. All you need are cold vegetables, bread, and mayo. The Caesar salad treatment makes this lighter than a sandwich, although if you want to give it more heft, you can add shrimp, chicken, or duck.

Categories     Summer     Salad     Corn     Okra     Dinner

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

For the salad:
2 cups Fried Okra
2 heads romaine lettuce, leaves separated
1 cup cooked fresh corn kernels, chilled
2½ cups cubed corn bread, toasted
½ cup sliced grape tomatoes
½ cup sliced seedless cucumber
¼ cup sliced red onion
Creole Caesar Dressing (recipe follows)
For the Creole Caesar dressing:
⅔ cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons chopped onion
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ roasted red bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped celery
1 teaspoon light brown sugar
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • For the salad:
  • Place half the fried okra in a large bowl and add the romaine, corn, corn bread, tomatoes, cucumber, and onion. Add the dressing and toss until well coated.
  • Divide the salad among six serving plates and top evenly with the remaining okra. Serve immediately.
  • For the Creole Caesar dressing:
  • In a small saucepan, combine the oil, garlic, and onion. Cook over low heat until the garlic and onion are golden and tender, about 15 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic and onion to a food processor; reserve the oil.
  • Add the vinegar, bell pepper, celery, sugar, cayenne, mayonnaise, Parmesan, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper to the food processor. Pulse until smooth. With the machine running, add the oil in a thin stream and process until emulsified. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cornbread: The fresher the cornbread, the better the dressing will be. If you don't have fresh cornbread, you can use store-bought cornbread, but make sure it's moist and flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the dressing: Overmixing the dressing will make it tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: Creole seasoning, garlic, onion, and celery are all classic ingredients in cornbread dressing, but you can also add other seasonings to taste. Some popular options include sage, thyme, rosemary, and black pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make cornbread dressing, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. You might be surprised at what you come up with.

Conclusion:

Creole cornbread dressing is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. Whether you're making it for a holiday dinner or a weeknight meal, this dressing is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a side dish that's both flavorful and satisfying, give Creole cornbread dressing a try.
