EMERIL LAGASSE'S CREOLE OLIVE SALAD



Emeril Lagasse's Creole Olive Salad image

An Emeril Lagasse recipe via About.com. Perfect for Mardi Gras! Don't use canned black olives-trust me it won't taste as good. To save money, I purchased only as many olives as were needed for this recipe from our local natural food store's very convenient 'olive bar'. Don't feel obligated to limit yourself to nicoise. Use a variety of imported olives (they don't have to be French either).

Time 15m

Yield 2 1/2 cups salad

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup pitted brine-cured black olives, sliced (such as Nicoise)
1 cup large pimento stuffed olive, sliced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil (good quality, please!)
2 tablespoons minced shallots (I tried cippolini and shallots in combination)
2 tablespoons finely chopped celery (I added 1 tablespoon of minced celery leaves, too)
2 tablespoons minced fresh flat-leaf parsley (aka Italian parsley)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (GAH-lic)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine black olives, pimiento-stuffed green olives, olive oil, shallots, celery, parsley, garlic, and pepper in a medium sized non-reactive mixing bowl.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Note: I liked the taste of the salad better at room temperature.
  • Emeril says: "Olive Salad is used to dress those wonderful Italian sandwiches called muffalettas.".
  • We served the olive salad over a bed of mixed greens which included baby arugula.

EMERIL LAGASSE'S DELMONICO POTATOES



Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Potatoes image

This recipe was posted in answer to a message board request. It was taken from the Emeril Lagasse recipe web site (http://www.emerils.com/recipe/167/delmonico-potatoes). Feb 25, 2011 - An Update - Re: Micks' posting: First: Thank you for posting the recipe for "Emeril's Essence/Emeril's Creole Seasoning" :-) Second: No one is claiming this is the recipe for the potatoes served at the "Original (since 1837) Delmonico's Restaurant" in New York City. A restaurant that I have personally had the pleasure of eating in many times (I was born/raised in NYC). I have had the "Classic Delmonico Potatoes" there on many occasions. The potatoes served at the "Original Delmonico's Steakhouse" in NYC are different from the ones that are served at Emeril's restaurant ("Emeril's Delmonico Steakhouse" in New Orleans, La.) Again, I have personally eaten the "Delmonico Potatoes" at Emeril's restaurant when I was in New Orleans. The recipe that is posted is the same as the recipe he uses in HIS restaurant. I hope this clarifies any confusion. :-)

EMERIL LAGASSE'S CRETON



Emeril Lagasse's Creton image

Creton is a french-canadian specialty; this type of "pork pate" is certainly not healthy, but really delicious! I like it spread on toast or crackers, along with hot mustard. Many in Quebec eat it at breakfast. Prep time includes chilling time.
