Posted for ZWT5. Feel free to sub the oil with what you prefer and make your own coconut milk using the kitchen references at RZ. Guessing at slices. This recipe seems to have a lot of oil in it and wonder about that? This is from The Rice and Beans A Belizean In the USA blog.

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 FRENCH DRESSING



Creole French Dressing image

I got this from a cookbook in my late Grandmothers collection who died in 1986. This is in a small paperback book published by Wesson Oil in 1928. My husband loves french dressing and asked to try this. The recipe below is exactly how it is in the book. They didn't add the garlic in the ingredients it might have been a typo. Note: I can't leave any recipe alone, so....when I make it I changed it to add a 1/2 tsp chopped garlic instead of rubbing the bowl with a garlic clove. I also thought it needed a little perking up so I 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice and a little more worcestershire. Enjoy.

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 a variety of bread cubes for a more flavorful dressing. Try using a combination of white, wheat, and cornbread cubes.
  • Toast the bread cubes before adding them to the dressing. This will help them absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and give the dressing a crispy texture.
  • Sauté the vegetables before adding them to the dressing. This will help them soften and release their flavors.
  • Use a good quality broth. The broth is the base of the dressing, so it's important to use one that has a lot of flavor.
  • Season the dressing to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste until the dressing is flavorful.
  • Let the dressing rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the dressing to thicken.

Conclusion:

Creole bread dressing is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of savory bread, vegetables, and herbs, Creole bread dressing is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
