Make Remoulade Sauce







Give fresh seafood a kick with tangy remoulade sauce.


No po'boy sandwich is complete without a dollop or two of creamy remoulade sauce. Remoulade sauce, which features a rich mayonnaise base, is found all over the world but is especially prevalent in a Louisiana creole cuisine. Although remoulade sauce is a condiment meant to enhance flavorful dishes such as fried oysters, shrimp or green tomatoes, it has quite a piquant flavor all on its own. You can make the savory sauce yourself to hold you over until your next visit to New Orleans.


Instructions


1. Place 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tbsp. of creole mustard, 2 tbsp. of olive oil, 1 tbsp. of fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp. of hot sauce and 1 tsp. of Worcestershire sauce in a mixing bowl or an electric mixer bowl.


2. Mix the ingredients with an electric mixer or whisk them by hand until they are well-blended.


3. Add one stalk of minced celery, two cloves of minced garlic, 1/2 cup of finely chopped green onion, 2 tbsp. of chopped green olives, 1/4 cup of finely chopped fresh parsley and salt and ground black pepper to taste to the sauce and stir well.


4. Cover the sauce with plastic wrap and refrigerate it for an hour before serving, which will allow the flavors to blend and intensify.
