With this Shredded Short Rib Sandwich, a star is born. The inspiration for this Shredded Short Rib Sandwich…
Blackened Brussels Salad
This could be the perfect salad. That’s a lot to say, but it bears repeating – this is salad perfection. If charring the Brussels weren’t enough to deliver a nutty oomph to the heart of this dish, I am combining it with fresh raw kale and crisp, smoky bacon. Yeah, bacon! Now, I have your…
Baked Potato, Tasso and Leek Soup in a Sea Salt Boule
This dish piles on the goodness of smoky tasso and the bite of fresh leeks with the velvety warmth of creamy potatoes. And it’s all served up in a garlic butter-brushed French bread bowl studded with the good stuff – fleur de sel. Oh yeah, soup’s on! Ask my wife what true comfort food is…
Cajun Meatballs and Peppers
I love this dish for the tantalizing flavors that surprise you at every bite. Dark, beefy gravy encases tender meatballs accented with the punch of sweet peppers in this delectable Cajun recipe. When sweet bell peppers begin flooding the market, I load up. Red, green, yellow, orange, I love how they paint my culinary world…
Pork Chops with Apple Onion Gravy
Pork and apples are a combination that I can’t resist. The sugary burst of juices from the fruit brings out the sweetness of the pork, and when rounded out with the bite of onions and a hit of tart mustard, this dish is a flavor explosion. An essential for this dish is to source thick,…
Fried Softshell Crab topped with Crawfish Étouffée
The Yellow Bowl Restaurant, an iconic Cajun café, closed for business several years ago, but its many outstanding Cajun dishes live on. And with one bite of this Fried Softshell Crab topped with Crawfish Étouffée, those memories return. I like to say these places are “off-the-eatin’-path,” and for good reason. Most of them never show…
Guinness Beef and Mushroom Stew
This hearty beef stew is rich with the umami flavors of mushrooms, beef, dark roux, and Guinness. Yes, Guinness Extra Stout beer. My Guinness Beef and Mushroom Stew is a bowlful of St. Patrick’s Day happiness. I’m green with envy at communities that passionately celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. It is an upbeat holiday that every…
Crawfish Baked Potato
I know many of you will agree that nothing goes better with a thick, juicy steak than a baked potato. I’ve been to the fanciest steakhouses in all the land, and when it comes to the perfect side dish, I’ll order a baked potato, loaded for sure, every time. Oh, I’ve tried the creamed spinach,…
Smoked Deer Sausage and White Bean Soup
If comfort can be found at the bottom of a black iron pot, it is this Smoked Deer Sausage and White Bean Soup recipe. Just think about it: tender white limas suck up the rich stock infused with smoky sausage and herbs and slowly simmer until they burst, releasing their starch to thicken the pot….
Crawfish Boil Chowder
Louisiana crawfish, spicy seasoned onions, potatoes, corn on the cob, and smoked sausage are at the base of this Cajun recipe, but it’s the crawfish stock and cream thickened with a blond roux that brings this Crawfish Boil Chowder all together magnificently. Here at Acadiana Table, we believe in faith, family, and food as the holy…
