Flan anyone?

Posted by cajunanne, June 23, 2008 at 9:36 AM

I'm having a small Mexican themed dinner party for 9 people this weekend. I would love to "wow" them with a great flan to finish off the evening. Can you help this cajun girl with a great, no fail recipe?

"Garlique's", everything with garlic. Appetizers, soups and main dishes... I'll just bet some creative minds out there would have some dessert ideas too! Maybe baked apples/pears with a melted garlic cheese...

Lemons is a good one too!

Storing Onions in Pantyhose?

I like to use them for vidalia onions that we can't get all year round in Louisiana.

Sauces: All I want is a good remoulade recipe

Galatoire's is wonderful but if you want another version just as good, here's is Commander's Palace, also from New Orleans:

1/4 c. Creole mustard (or Dijon mustard)
2 tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. white vinegar
1 c. finely chopped green onions
Dash of Tabasco sauce
1/2 c. finely chopped celery
1/2 c. ketchup
1/2 c. prepared yellow mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 eggs, room temp.
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/3 c. salad oil
80 med. shrimp, peeled, deveined and boiled

1. Put all ingredients for the sauce except the oil into blender container. Cover and mix at high speed until well blended.

2. Remove cover and gradually add the oil in a steady stream. Sauce will thicken to mayonnaise consistency. Chill.

3. Boil or saute shrimp until done. Let come to room temperature. Serve topped with remoulade sauce.

Definitely peanut butter. I, too, have eaten at Peanut Butter & Co. in New York (and LOVED it), but I'd love to have a more upscale restaurant and definitely an even larger menu than they currently do. Peanut butter can be used in so many ways - from sweet to savory, appetizers to dessert, Latin American to Thai flavors, and just about everything in between.....

Oh my gosh - a garlic restaurant! Brilliant!

eatorama - ever heard of "Cheeburger Cheeburger"? They do something like that, with all the crazy toppings & whatnot. Give 'em a google search sometime, check out the website. We got one in LR about a year ago (or so), but... honestly... when I went there it was all hype and not a lot of delivery.

@johnfred--you made me think about a sauce I haven't made in a long time--vanilla bean burre blanc. The vanilla bean is opened and added into the cream and vinegar when they are reduced. Then you remove the bean and proceed as usual.

..... Parmesan Cheese! The real deal --- all dishes made with Parmesan -- could get very creative!, but nothing too strange- no chocolate/parmesan desserts, etc. Other than that, it would be heaven!

P.S. Re the garlic themed restaruant -- in Madison, NJ there is a restaurant called Garlic Rose -- all garlic, all the time, every dish -- I can't go near the place and if you are with someone who does, you can't go near them for a couple of days.
