Deep South Party Mix

Vegetables

This is my twist on party mix. Put a few bowls of these out, and you’ll make a lot of folks happy. Fry in small batches so the oil temperature doesn’t drop too severely resulting in a greasy finished product.

Ingredients

2 cups yellow Cornmeal

3 Tbsp Lawry’s Seasoning Salt

3 Tbsp lemon pepper seasoning

1 ¼ cup egg Wash (1 cup milk, 2 eggs)

1 /2 cup sliced jalapeños

1 /2 cup dill pickles slices

1 /2 cup sliced okra

1 /2 pound cleaned crawfish tails

Peanut Oil for frying

Instructions

Heat oil in cast iron skillet to 350 degrees.

Combine cornmeal, Lawry’s and lemon pepper.

Dredge jalapeños, pickles, okra and crawfish in egg wash, then in the cornmeal mixture. Carefully drop the fried items into the fryer in small batches. Fry until golden (about six minutes), remove, drain and serve.

Repeat the frying process until everything has been fried.

Serve immediately.

Yield: 2 cups

A Quiche for David

Quiche is French in origin, so this recipe is probably an abomination to some. My friend David Trigiani is a dual-citizen Italian is always taking a stand in the French food versus Italian food debate. Heavy whipping cream is a must, and never buy pre-shredded mozzarella. Grate your own. The same goes for parmesan cheese. Never, I repeat never buy that powdery substance in the green can. Invest in a good grater and you'll be a better cook for it. David lives in Jackson, Mississippi, but spends most of his holidays in Italy. He’s an excellent cook, though I have never eaten quiche in his home. Maybe this will inspire him, and I’ll get an invitation.

Orange Crepes with Sugared Cranberries

I prefer fruit over chocolate after a meal. Orange and cranberries are a perfect pairing, especially during the holidays. This is an excellent and easy dessert after a heavy meal. These can be served individually on small plates or in a casserole for a buffet.

Grilled Tripletail with Lump Crab and Chive Beurre Blanc

Tripletail has always been my favorite Gulf fish. The old-timers used to say, "If you can see a tripletail, you can catch a tripletail." They have this peculiar habit of floating near the surface around buoys, crab traps, and other floating objects, often lying on their sides and appearing almost lifeless. This behavior makes them easy to spot and, if you're quick with your cast, easy to hook. The meat is mild, white, and flaky—perfect for grilling. Pairing it with lump crab and a chive beurre blanc elevates this dish to something truly special.
