You may want to adjust the spices depending on how hot you like your food
(e.g. 1 tsp cayanne may be too hot, I usually use approx. \(12 tsp). I've
also seen other recipes for this, in places like the Moosewood cookbooks,
which call for coconut milk and a few different things.

.PH
.SK 1
In a large ceramic mixing bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar and Creole
mustard. Using a wire whisk, blend until all ingredients are well
incorporated.
.SK 2
Add green onions, parsley, celery, and garlic. Continue mixing until all
seasonings are well blended. Add paprika for color and season to taste
using salt and Louisiana Gold.
.SK 3
Place in the refrigerator, covered with clear wrap, and allow to sit
overnight. You may wish to serve a generous portion of this sauce with
shrimp, lump crabmeat, or simply as a salad dressing.
.NX
Chef Folse says this is a different version, the Creole version, believed to
be the original Louisiana version.
.PP
A note about Creole mustard. This is a brown mustard, and in New Orleans
recipes it definitely means a specially prepared brown mustard. (Zatarain's
is a good brand). It is highly spiced and contains a much higher percentage
of horseradish -- and hence has a distinctively spicier taste and sharper bite
-- than most ordinary brown mustards.

.PP
If you want a "warm" dish including shrimp, scallops, and andouille sausage,
then chop some sausage and saute with raw shrimps & scallops in a very small
amount of olive oil (maybe a bit of garlic and thyme). Then make a sauce out
of the pan "drippings", a few Tbls. of remoulade sauce, and some heavy cream.
Add cayenne pepper, salt & black pepper to taste. Remoulade sauce is a
"condiment" found in nearly all Louisiana kitchens. Usually folks just "glop"
it onto chilled boiled shrimp arranged on crisp lettuce leaves as an
appetizer, but it is also used to flavor "cream" sauces. Some people also eat
it on salads as they might "Thousand-Island" dressing.

Mix flour, sugar and milk in pot and stir constantly as you bring the
mixture to a boil. Boil for 2-3 minutes to get the flour taste out, still
stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Remove from heat and pour half
the mixure into the eggs. Stir till the eggs are mixed in and pour back
into the remaining mixture. Return to heat and cook another minute.

for the chocolate to harden. (I usually put it in the fridge for a while).
.SK 2
Spoon in the custard. Cover the tart with fresh fruit, such as peaches,
pears, bananas, kiwi, etc. Canned fruit may be used though I prefer to
use fresh ones. If you want, you can make a glaze by boiling preserves
with some water and spooning the glaze on top. You can also sprinkle nuts
(pistachios are great) on top.

.RZ "ZEN BARBECUE CHICKEN"
.KY BARBECUE CHICKEN
No one asked, but...some years ago I learned the secrets of chicken barbecue
from a Zen Chicken Master. Here they are, revealed for the first time:
.SH "The chicken"
Don't even bother to try barbecuing chicken breasts. They end up dry and
tasteless. Use mainly thighs; they're tastier and have enough fat to be
self-basting.
.SH "The sauce"
.IH
.IG "1 bottle" "vinegar"
.IG "1 large" "onion"
finely chopped
.IG "1 lb" "dark brown sugar" "450 g"
.IG "1 bottle" "Open Pit barbecue sauce"
.IG "\(12 cup" "Hoisin Sauce" "110 ml"
.IG "1 jar" "orange marmelade"
.IG "" "hot sauce"
to taste.
.PH
.SK 1
Start by bringing to a boil the vinegar with the finely chopped onion.
Simmer until the onion is very soft. Add brown sugar and cook until
dissolved and smooth.
.SK 2
To this add the barbecue sauce. Finally, add the Secret Ingredients:
(Hoisin Sauce, orange marmelade and hot sauce).
.SH "The cooking"
Don't add the sauce until the chicken is almost done. Brush and turn a couple
of times. The finished product should be a sticky mess.

.I Difficulty:
very easy.
