CAJUN FOOD - Cajun Snapper Sauce - Recipe

Jalapeno and Serrano Peppers

This is a really nice and simple recipe that we found in a Local newspaper when we were camping in Louisiana near New Orleans.

They listed it as a popular sauce made and used by many of the locals for their own cooking.

It's easy to make and it really kicks up whatever the Fish might be that you are broiling.

FRENCH DRESSING (Kind of) - Old Recipe

OK, this is another old recipe that we have used occasionally over the years.
With the many manufacturers brands of Salad Dressings that are on the market today, we have all become used to that STANDARD taste that they all attempt to provide to the consumer.
This recipe, is KIND OF the same flavor.
It tastes somewhat different, but the bottom line is that it has a very nice flavor and makes a really good Salad Dressing. Try it, or not! I think is a nice and different dressing that is both quick and easy to make and it requires absolutely NO COOKING!

INGREDIENTS:

1        Can          Tomato Soup (10-3/4 ounce size)
1/2      cup          Sugar
3/4      cup          Vinegar ( a mild variety)
1         tsp.           Worcestershire Sauce
1         tsp.           Dry Mustard
2-1/2  cups          Vegetable Oil (your choice, original recipe used Crisco Oil, I use EVOO)
1         tsp.            Salt
1/2      tsp.            Black Pepper, fine grind
2         tbs.            Sweet Pickles, finely chopped (optional)

DIRECTIONS:

Mix all of the ingredients together until well blended ( use a Blender if desired), and serve chilled or at room temperature

It is a simple recipe usually made by combining the following ingredients:

1 tsp         lemon peel

1 tbs         lemon juice

1 tbs         dried parsley

Lemon Butter has a great flavor on its own but you can experiment with it by adding other herbs or spices such as; garlic, rosemary, thyme, etc.
