Rémoulade Week



According to Merriam Webster Dictionary:

    Variant(s):or re·mou·lade \ˌ-mə-ˈläd, --\
    Function:noun
    Etymology:French rémoulade
    Date:1845
    rémoulade is a pungent sauce or dressing resembling mayonnaise and usually including savory herbs and condiments.

The French condiment rémoulade is a mainstay along the Third Coast primarily in and around New Orleans (for obvious reasons). For the next week I will be sharing some of the best rémoulade recipes I know starting with two that I use at Mars Hill Café. Sure you can use rémoulades in place of mayo on that big honking grinder but you will soon discover it has more uses than just dressing on sandwich.

Mars Hill's Rémoulade
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup Zatarain's Creole mustard
5 cloves crushed garlic
1 teaspoon white pepper

Mix, chill and serve. We use this as the dressing on our potato salad - it so good there is nothing else in the potato salad but rémoulade and potatoes.

Mars Hill's Spicy Rémoulade
1 cup mayo
1/4 cup Zatarain's Creole mustard
1 tablespoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon Chef Paul Prudhomme's Blackened Redfish Magic

Mix, chill and serve. We use this on our N'awlins chicken wrap, our crab cake Po 'Boy and on specials from time to time.
