Recipes vary from families to region and there are many options to adapt these to your taste. Some recipes use flour, or breadcrumbs, crushed Ritz crackers, or a combination of two or all three. Not a fan of bell pepper? Leave it out of the recipe. Want to up the zest, increase the Dijon mustard, add a pinch of cayenne, and an extra dash of hot sauce. Some recipes have some strict guidelines based on history and culture. For salmon croquettes though, the goal is to have a ratio of ingredients that will hold together in an appeasing texture and flavor (isn’t that the case for all recipes though). Beyond that, modify at will. Also note, this recipe is relatively small and ideal for one person making meals for the week, or a nice date night. The recipe multiplies nicely. I am almost always at least doubling or quadrupling it. The pictures included is for a 4 can batch for a dinner party I was assisting with. https://www.imperialseasoning.com/new-page-1-1 daily 0.75 2023-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625776630118-4PJDPO04CAJS4P2D4RXZ/20210625_180101.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625777254089-OG5AFPDMPGDA0XO71T0H/20210625_175155.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625777326138-AACJYY0MSJMC77QK4U7F/20210625_181606.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625777376595-JW6DGVWOQVUYQS5G44JB/20210625_181700.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625777436361-CRM136L58SU990M1ONME/20210625_190506.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625776051623-LWUE2JO4YYO0V3U0AUWK/IMG_06501+%281%29.jpg Sauces - Gribiche Sauce - Gribiche Sauce Gribiche is a classic French sauce that uses boiled eggs to make a mayonnaise and adds herbs, cornichons (small French pickles), and capers. It is a great picnic sauce to serve with cold sliced meats and fish. I also enjoy it with crab cakes and salmon croquettes. https://www.imperialseasoning.com/jambalaya daily 0.75 2021-07-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625794694102-RM3GERPB7T97XHHRO1ZU/20210701_162933.jpg Jambalaya The Trinity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625794771565-YQZG101CK3DTOM77F41S/20210701_163019.jpg Jambalaya The Flavor Profile https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/2c8d125d-ecf4-474a-899f-affa5f079dd0/20210701_163047.jpg Jambalaya Crushed Tomato and Rice https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1625792983347-NQA21GG7YX3KO2GNHSUU/20210701_184955.jpg Jambalaya - Jambalaya When it comes to comfort food, the list of items that top and nice bowl of jambalaya is short.

From its humble beginnings between the 19th and 20th century as a convenient food item for a rapidly industrializing society that necessitated affordable food items that could be consumed outside the home, the hamburger has become an icon of “All-American” cuisine. With a variety of recipes for the patties to the various traditions and trimmings that have evolved since the basic lettuce, tomato, and onion including but not limited to bacon, avocado, a myriad of cheeses, truffles, and even gold leaf, there really is a style for everyone.

Winters in Louisiana were pretty mild compared to our relatives up North, but when it was cold, there was nothing like a hot bowl of gumbo to warm the body and the spirit. Gumbo is a labor of love and making a pot of it for friends and family is real a treat. There is quite a bit to say about the dish, so be sure to check out the Gumbo 101 section below the recipe.

I encourage anyone not familiar with the potential uses for tofu to give this recipe a try. In addition to being quite tasty, it is amazingly simple. This recipe is great in tacos, wraps, as a salad topping, for general snacking as a sort of popcorn chik’n, or perhaps you’ve just been directed here from the Imperial Vegan Gumbo recipe. Whatever the case.

The name Picadillo has its roots in the Spanish word picar meaning “to mince”, and while ingredients vary by country and region, the dish consists of some sort of ground or minced protein. Our recipe is in the style of that found in Northern Mexico which will typically include potatoes, onions, tomatoes, broth, ground beef (we use textured vegetable protein), and seasoned with various spices. The dish is often served plated with rice, in a tortilla, or as a sandwich or “torta”. The bread most commonly used is a bolillo, a bread roll similar to a baguette. https://www.imperialseasoning.com/recipe-index-sauces daily 0.75 2023-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/215803a7-4d71-4b15-a5bd-9b45d23bf80c/Gribiche+Sauce.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/d1169c50-28d1-4654-84c6-ec2c8332f838/Main+Pic_Cropped.jpg https://www.imperialseasoning.com/imperial-lemon-pepper-vinaigrette daily 0.75 2023-10-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/a84ba811-aa3f-46bd-8f6b-0435d8aab108/Main+Pic_Cropped.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/0a9bb7e7-04a1-434d-a6fc-d57010b7c45b/Ingredients.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/4e886684-470c-4f92-952e-8a1c2451a621/Ingredients_Prepped.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/caeb1306-e445-47b3-8f7e-c6fb8bc88ac5/Ingredients_Combining.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/c01801e8-3c4f-41e9-856d-20c9a22fb349/LP+Vinaigrette+Salad+Cropped.jpg https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop/p/cmv4ugnxzbn1utzazeftzaoqz50n21 monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623005061999-T77IJEL0Y4QRFKGCA1NC/Blackened2.jpg Shop - Blackened https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop/p/do-chua-6lm5c monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623004591047-UVHLEMS7KJTD721JAQPY/LemonPepper1.jpg Shop - Lemon Pepper https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623004500204-XS2TCIQKF9OGGCOVMNM1/LemonPepper3.jpg Shop - Lemon Pepper https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop/p/lemons-ffcsm monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623004721552-ZZ5SA20V2WYDK0ENM65A/Poultry3.jpg Shop - Poultry Blend https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop/p/sauerkraut-7znbm monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1698791277257-SYMSMTTLF33XE08W4NDF/IMG_6788.jpg Shop - Spice Flight https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623005528666-OMZT4S6ZVOH6F0IHEAQT/Flight1.jpg Shop - Spice Flight https://www.imperialseasoning.com/shop/p/beni-shoga-zzjtn monthly 0.5 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60550debdff0023ff4b16e56/1623004931502-90H1J129LTID6N4TPQF6/Creole1.jpg Shop - Creole Blend
