Reel Cajun bananas and Zatarain's Creole Mustard zing

  Zatarain’s reminds us that Aug. 4 is National Mustard Day, and there’s no way I want to miss out on that.
                             I always pick a course, flavorful mustard and Zatarain’s Creole Mustard is in my pantry now.
                             It’s a flavor thing for me to mix mustard into dishes that many people would go for mayonnaise first. Mustard typically has zero to few calories so it lowers the total count for your sauces and dressings and it simply tastes great. Mustard is something that qualifies for the term “zing.”
                             Zing away with Zatarain’s recipes here, which “pass muster” on National Mustard Day.



                  Remoulade Dipping Sauce
                  1 cup mayonnaise
                  2 tablespoons Zatarain’s Creole Mustard
                  1 teaspoon lemon juice
                  one half teaspoon McCormick Gourmet Organic Paprika
                  one fourth teaspoon minced garlic
                            Mix mayonnaise, Creole mustard, lemon juice, paprika and garlic in medium bowl until well blended. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour to blend flavors. Serve with boiled shrimp or over fried green tomatoes.

                  Jezebel Sauce
                  1 jar, 18 ounces, pineapple preserves
                  2 tablespoons Zatarain’s Creole Mustard
                  4 teaspoons prepared horseradish
                            Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Cover. Referigerate until ready to serve.

                  Reel Cajun 

                             My mom picked Reel Cajun for her birthday and, after a nap no doubt, was on Facebook posting about her fun time and bananas foster. She indicated it would be on the menu in foodie Heaven.
                             This restaurant is known for seafood and a bar with beer that fills your glass from the bottom, but let me give you a heads up. If you haven’t asked your server what people are getting that comes with a big pitcher, you’re missing out. Pour that sticky, sweet brown sauce from pitcher to ice cream and you’re hooked. It’s a good sensation to wrap up your Reel Cajun experience.
