CREOLE CORNBREAD STUFFING (EMERIL'S)



Creole Cornbread Stuffing (Emeril's) image

Saw this on Good Morning America. I decided immediately it had to be a last minute addition to our Thanksgiving menu. My 22 year old son was thrilled to have it assigned to him ("instead of a sissy salad"). He breezed through making it and we all thought it was so good it had to have a permanent place on our Thanksgiving menu. Highly recommended (although it may be a tad spicy for some -- if you are timid about spices, go easy on them).

CORNBREAD STUFFING W/SHRIMP & ANDOUILLE (CAJUN/CREOLE ZWT-9)



Cornbread Stuffing W/Shrimp & Andouille (Cajun/Creole ZWT-9) image

(From a Food & Wine Magazine article) -- Star chef Susan Spicer comes from a strong European Christmas tradition. But in New Orleans, her holiday means a magnificent Cajun/Southern feast. She runs BAYONA (1 of the finest restaurants in New Orleans) & has been garnering local & national acclaim since 1986. In 1989, FOOD & WINE declared her 1 of that yr's Best New Chefs. Her training is French & her food global (including So Louisiana Cajun & New Orleans Creole). Her Christmas dinner was featured in Food & Wine Magazine & included a shrimp & andouille stuffing ("my version of something that's fairly common in New Orleans"). Of this recipe, she said "Andouille adds a wonderful smoky flavor to sweet cornbread stuffing". As an added bonus, this stuffing can be "made & refrigerated 1 dy before baking. Just bring it to room temp before baking." Prep time was estimated, begins w/pre-cooked cornbread & 15 min was allowed for ingredient prep. Enjoy!

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large red onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 ears of corn, kernels sliced off (or 3 cups thawed frozen corn)
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon chopped pickled hot peppers
4 cups cubed cornbread, preferably stale (about 1/2-inch cubes)
4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts (6 to 8 ounces each)

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:
