Grilled Tuna Salad Nicoise with Creole Citrus Vinaigrette

August 2, 2021 by George Graham 5 Comments

Grilled Tuna Salad Nicoise with Creole Citrus Vinaigrette

Salty, acidic, peppery and sweet are the defining taste elements of my Grilled Tuna Salad Nicoise with Creole Citrus Vinaigrette and taking a few tricks from my Cajun playbook of culinary techniques, I think we might have just elevated this French classic to another level. During past travels in southern France, Roxanne and I recall…

Crabmeat-Stuffed Artichoke

July 5, 2021 by George Graham 15 Comments

Crabmeat-Stuffed Artichoke

When I saw the large artichokes stacked high at the produce stand, I knew in an instant that crabmeat-stuffed artichoke would be the perfect dish for a summertime appetizer.  It was time to get stuffing. Though hardly Cajun, globe artichokes are actually a cultivated variety of thistle.  But, in the hands of an adventurous cook, the…

Iceberg Wedge Salad with Buttermilk Blue and Spiced Pecans

There was a time, and I remember it well, that iceberg lettuce ruled the salad world.  In those days, lettuce simply was iceberg – no options.  Today, the varieties are staggering;  mixed greens, micro-greens, arugula, frisée, romaine, endive, and on and on.  Not only are the options endless, but it seems that iceberg has gotten…

Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema

April 29, 2019 by George Graham 2 Comments

Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema

For Cinco de Mayo, South of the border meets South Louisiana in this Pulled Pork Tacos with Creole Crema–a taco taste sensation. I love how the citrus flavors of the orange-brined pork shoulder are elevated by the spike of jalapeños and Cajun seasoning that work so deliciously with farm-fresh vegetables. And the cool and creamy…

Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

June 11, 2018 by George Graham 4 Comments

Salmon and Shrimp Salad with Grapefruit Vinaigrette

For a born and fed bayou boy like me, eating light in the summer makes up for the countless pounds of boiled crawfish I consumed this spring.  And it gives me pause for the endless bowls of gumbo to come this fall.  That’s why today’s fresh Salmon and Shrimp Salad featuring poached salmon and sautéed…

Heirloom Tomato Sandwich on Sourdough with Garlic Aioli

With the crisp snap of the first bite of grilled sourdough, I can taste the dual combination of smooth goat cheese, and creamy garlic aioli as the intense juice of the heirloom tomato flows over my tongue. My taste receptors are in overdrive as the flavors meld together into my Heirloom Tomato Sandwich on Sourdough with Garlic…

Crab and Avocado Napoleon with Spicy Citrus Salsa and Creole Green Goddess

More and more these days, I’m seeing traditional South Louisiana restaurants serving Cajun and Creole dishes with plate presentation techniques that impress. The days of a sprig of parsley and wedge of lemon are over. Simple things: a swish of sauce, a cedar plank fish, a scooped-out bread bowl, or even a “Frenched” bone exposed…

Cajun-Spiced Lettuce Cups with Vidalia Onion Relish

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

Kale Caesar with Grilled Shrimp

For the past few years, fresh kale has been on a run showing up on restaurant menus all over America. Even here at my Acadiana Table, I’ve tossed it into soups, braised it in stews and served it pan sautéed as a side dish. So, this weekend I stumbled on a neat trick while making…
