Easiest Holiday Dish You’ll Ever Serve: Relish Tray Salad

December 8, 2011 By Joi Sigers

Relish Tray Salad

A holiday tradition in my kitchen (whether it’s Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, or the first day of baseball season… definitely a holiday in our house) is based on a recipe I saw Emeril do years ago on Emeril Live. He made a Relish Tray Salad and I was instantly intrigued. One of my daughters, Brittany, and I are HUGE relish tray fans. There are few things we appreciate more than a great looking, thoughtful, and colorful relish tray.  So when I saw Emeril combine some of our favorite relish tray guests into one huge, beautiful salad, I knew it was something I had to try.

The beautiful thing about making a relish tray salad is that you can pretty much add or take away anything your heart and personal tastes desire.

And easy? Trust me, nothing’s easier. I have made versions where I didn’t add the blanched vegetables which made it even quicker and just as delicious.

You typically don’t drain any of the ingredients, but I (personally) always drain the cocktail onions and, when I add baby corn, I drain that as well. Some flavors can be overpowering and onions and corn are two of them!

Basically, you buy jars of your favorite relish tray delicacies such as:

  • Baby Dill Pickles
  • Gherkins
  • Pickled cocktail onions
  • Blanched baby carrots
  • Blanched green beans
  • Cauliflower
  • Olives
  • Pickled Cherry Peppers
  • Pickled Okra

Place everything into a large glass bowl (or any bowl for that matter, glass simply looks spectacular).    The colors are beautiful, the flavors are Heavenly, and everyone has a lot of fun finding their favorites lovelies.

HSN Celebrity Chef Products and Holiday Recipes

October 26, 2010 By Joi Sigers

Do you have nothing but big love for Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Padma Lakshmi, Colin Cowie and Todd English? I have nothing but big love for Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Padma Lakshmi, Colin Cowie and Todd English.

Fellow foodies, have you heard about the upcoming celebrity chef Cooks! Event airing live on HSN on November 5th? Truth be told, HSN is cooking up a special treat for viewers. HSN’s kitchen will be boiling over with celebrity chefs and food connoisseurs including Emeril Lagasse, Wolfgang Puck, Padma Lakshmi, Colin Cowie and Todd English as they launch an exciting array of products on air and share recipes.

Kitchen gadgets, dishes, and cooking products? Recipes? I’m so totally there I’m not even here.

Each chef will be cooking up a special course for the Holidays. Check out the recipes and more details here: HSN.com/HolidayMenu.

Also, don’t miss out on the following Celebrity Chef Products.  I honestly can’t make up my mind which one I’m dying for the most.  I LOVE the Colin Cowie Infused Beverage Pitcher (There’s even a Colin Cowie Fruit-Infused Lemonade Packet available on HSN).  There are also several Colin Cowie Beverage Servers that would be absolutely beautiful filled with punch or even tea for the holidays.

Wolfgang Puck is another HSN featured Celebrity Chef.   There’s a great looking Wolfgang Puck Food Processor (linked at the bottom of the post), a gorgeous Wolfgang Puck Reversible Grill/Griddle, Enameled Ceramic Bakers, and more.  When it comes to Celebrity Chefs, Wolfgang Puck is a perfect example (along with the other chefs named in this article) – the bigger the name, the better the product.

Speaking of beautiful Padma Lakshmi, you HAVE to check out her beautiful line of cooking and entertaining products on HSN.  They’re called Easy Exotic by Padma Lakshmi and they’re as exotic and beautiful as the lady, herself.  Again, these would be breathtakingly beautiful around the holidays.

Each of these Celebrity products would make PERFECT Christmas gifts… after, of course, you fill your own kitchen with the goodness!

Emeril’s Pico de Gallo – A Perfect Companion with Avocado Tacos!

September 24, 2008 By Joi Sigers

A few nights ago, I made the DELICIOUS Avocado Tacos (a few posts below). I had just seen an Emeril Live rerun where he made some fantastic looking Pico de Gallo, so I made it to serve alongside the tacos.

Great, splendid, inspired idea. Emeril always makes a great dinner companion! His Pico de Gallo is below. Zip over to Food Network.com to see the other recipes he made on this episode.

EMERIL’s PICO DE GALLO:
3 ripe plum tomatoes (about 3/4 pound) or 1 (14-ounce) can whole tomatoes, drained
1/4 cup chopped red or yellow onion
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1/4 teaspoon Emeril’s Hot Sauce or other red hot sauce

Combine all the ingredients and pulse in a food processor (or chop fiercely) until it’s all slightly chunky.

Transfer to a great-looking bowl. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and set aside until you’re ready to serve alongside tacos or nachos.

* I actually wanted the cilantro and last remaining fresh tomatoes to be the stars of the Pico De Gallo, so I left out the hot sauce completely. I’ve never left the fire out of Pico de Gallo before and was, frankly, surprised that we didn’t miss it. I normally chop up and add colorful, hot little peppers. You know, the kind that send you running for refills on your drinks.

Look Alive, Emeril Fans, The Bam’s Back!

June 20, 2008 By Joi Sigers

Emeril LagasseListen up, boys and girls, this is important stuff here.  Our boy, Emeril Lagasse, is coming back into our living rooms, dining rooms, dens, and wherever else we have televisions to transport his smiling face into our world.

The Fine Living Network (which I was a huge fan of before, but now….off the charts) will begin showing the Emeril Live show 7 days a week @ 7pm starting July 7th.

FLN has set up a page for Emeril Live which includes Emeril’s own recipes, a blog by his culinary crew, a show schedule and some great facts about Emeril, including the origin of the “BAM!”  See http://www.fineliving.com/emerillive

The page also has some videos that’ll slap a smile on your face.

I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again:  Emeril is to thank for the explosion of food celebrities, the excitement of cooking shows, and the vast number of young people who think it’s totally “cool” to watch cooking shows.  I always marvel at the number of my daughter’s friends (male and female – which I love to see) who know the television chefs by name.  Emeril is always one of their favorites.

Personally, I think Emeril built the whole Food Network empire.  He was the one that the rest were built around.  Of course, to be sure – it was a two-way street, each made the other huge! 

Check out the page and be sure to invite Emeril back into your home.  Nightly.

Long live the Bam!

Paula Deen’s Cooking up a Can’t Miss Episode Today

April 30, 2008 By Joi Sigers

Sweet Iced Tea!

Okay, so Paula’s Home Cooking is a Can’t Miss everyday – I know, I know. But today, it’s especially so. The recipes she’ll be making are “Country Food Side Dishes” and the lineup sounds way beyond delicious. One of the things she’ll make is a sweetening syrup she uses for Iced Tea. If you aren’t from the South, you may not be that familiar with sweet tea. Being a Kentuckian, I was never familiar with any other. When I got married, my husband was in the Air Force, so we moved around quite a bit. We lived in the beautiful city of Wichita, Kansas for a while and I was convinced they made the worst tea on earth until I realized they just didn’t sweeten it.

My response, of course, was “Why on earth not?!?!” (They also didn’t fry green tomatoes, make red eye gravy, or have a clear understanding of okra. But I loved them anyway.)

Here’s Paula Deen’s Recipe for Simple Syrup for Sweetening Tea:

1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water

Heat the sugar and water in a small saucepan, bringing to a boil. When the sugar is completely dissolved, remove the pan from the heat and cool to room temperature. Add to your pitcher of tea and soon you’ll be wondering “Why on earth..” everyone doesn’t drink sweet tea too.

Here are the other recipes Paula Deen will be cooking up today:

Corn Casserole

Turnip Mashed Potatoes

Indian Succotash

Hoppin’ John

If you’re a big fan of casseroles, don’t miss Emeril tonight. The show’s centered around casseroles and they sound amazing. Afterwards, we’ll be ready for dessert and those of us who are Alton Brown fanatics will be in Food Network Heaven, there’ll be back to back Good Eats. The first one focuses on cakes and the second one will “top things off” with icings. (Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)

For the recipes that will be featured on Emeril, Alton, and the rest of the shows on today’s Food Network, see the scrolling lineup to the left. I like what’s up Giada’s Italian sleeves today, too.

Great Looking Wooden Bowl Set from Emeril

February 20, 2008 By Joi Sigers

Emeril from Wedgwood 3-pc. Emeril's Professional Series Wood Bowl Set

Did you happen to catch Emeril Live last night – everything the man made looked delicious! I’m just not 100 percent sold on the homemade cola – I’m pretty sure I’ll be buying Coke for my floats.

When he was grilling the chicken it made me incredibly anxious for summer to get here. I love all the seasons – they each have their own special magic and charm – but there’s just something about Spring and Summer. Baseball on the television, flowers in bloom throughout the yard, our cats stretched out soaking up the sun, and my husband hard at work at grill.

Bring it on, Baby!

I always make up huge, awesome salads to go with whatever we eat during the warm months. So the Emeril from Wedgwood 3-pc. Emeril’s Professional Series Wood Bowl Set is just what I need. It’ll look so handsome and chic celebrating the warm weather, glads, St. Louis Cardinals, and grilled chicken with me!

Delicious Soul Food Featured on Emeril Last Night

January 18, 2008 By Joi Sigers

My daughter and I were watching Emeril last night – talk about your regular, most beloved family traditions. At least one of my girls and I watch the food network every night. Stephany loves Emeril, Rachael, Paula’s Party, and Jamie Oliver. Brittany loves Alton, Ace of Cakes, and the Food Network Challenge episodes. Me? Love ’em all!

The episode was centered around Soul Food, which is about as good as it gets. I think of Soul Fool as Southern Cooking with Zest….. So, how can it NOT be perfection waiting to be devoured? The food in this episode was called “Elegant Soul Food,” so I guess it was Soul Food in a tux. I’m so there! Emeril and his guest made a Sweet Potato Pecan Tart with Cream Anglaise and Chocolate Sauce. One of my husband’s favorite pies is the Sweet Potato pie, so when they were plating the heavenly-looking dessert, I told Steph, “Your father would die if he saw that…” Since her response was, “I’m dying enough for both of us…” I get the impression I’ll be making this pretty soon!

Click the link above to check out the recipe. After you’ve printed it out, scroll down for the other foods featured on that episode: Chef Bernard’s Crawfish and Jalapeno Cornbread (!!!), Pan-roasted Pork Chops with Sauteed Cabbage and a Shrimp, Crabmeat and Mirliton Dressing, and Pan-Fried Cornmeal Crusted Trout with Succotash and Mixed Baby Greens with a Buttermilk and Lemon Dressing.
