Sounds quite tasty ...

I shall give it a try when we return to Madrid ... We have an exemplary shop called Taste of America, for a couple of the ingredients, I cannot really get here in Puglia.

Thanks for posting.

Ciao, Have nice Sunday.
Margi.

Thanks CraigC,
That looks mighty good.
Now I need to go get some soft crabs and give it a whirl.
"CraigC Soft crab po' boy" here I come.
I do have a few questions. Creole Mustard?
Is there a certain brand to use? I need to check the store next time I go and see what they have.
I found many recipes for it and all are different.
Some say 3 weeks to develop the flavor. I'm hungry now.
Do you have a recipe?
Is there a thread here? I looked but my search abilities aren't so hot.
Links anyone?
Do we need to start thread on Creole mustard?
One thing Wiki says about it is " It is also the key ingredient found in New Orleans-style or Creole-style remoulade sauce." and with the many,many,many types of mustard out there I kinda want to get what matches your ingredient.
Am I over thinking this?
Oh well enough babble.
Thanks again.

These are the ingredients for Zatarains Creole Mustard: WATER, VINEGAR, BROWN MUSTARD SEED, SALT, XANTHAN GUM.

Looks a lot like just about any other mustard on the shelf.

That's kind of what I figured it would be.
Basically a brown mustard.
But some of the recipes out there have all kind of additions.
As always experimentation will be the key.

Sounds delish. Recently I had a crab/shrimp louis salad w/ avocado, lemon wedges & remoulade that was heaven. You could also dip beer-battered green beans in remoulade, w/ fresh lime wedges on the side. Thanks for sharing.

I am certain Steve would love this on his sandwiches

Cheers for the recipe Craig

i'm going to be making this as well. thanks, craigsy.

i could have used it tonight. when my wife served crab cakes as an appy, i said, "no remoulade?".

lol, she just gave me that look.

and yes, i need to look for creole mustard. i'm a mustard freak, having almist a dozen at home right now.
being creole, i wonder if it is french style, much like maille brand mustard. wholegrain, possibly?

Our local wallyworld super mart carries Zatarains.

Here's another version of a delicious remoulade that uses fewer ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp. ketchup
2 tbsp. each minced celery, onion, fresh ginger and parsley

Stir mayonnaise and ketchup to blend thoroughly. Stir in remaining ingredients. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour to allows flavors to meld. Serve with grilled or sauteed fish, or as a sandwich spread or salad dressing. Also great mixed with flaked cold fish or diced chicken served on crackers.

I made that recipe recently for my catfish poboy sandwiches.
Didnt have the creole mustard, so I just added some Cajun
seasoning instead and some brown mustard. Tasted great!
(I also used only a total of 4 TBSP of mustards, and it
was still quite "mustardy" tasting.)

I'm surprised that there is ketchup. The remoulade that I have had in Denmark doesn't have any. Remoulade is used a lot in as a condiment in Denmark.

I cut this recipe out of the newspaper years ago, but your comment prompted me to look it up on Wikipedia

Remoulade originated in France but is popular throughout western Europe and the U.S., especially Louisiana. The Creole version has cayenne and/or paprika for color; I can imagine someone using ketchup as a shortcut to add a complex flavor in a single ingredient, as well as for the color.

Regional versions!

I don't think remoulade has a single certified authentic recipe.

That's what I figured, just surprised
