Creole Sausage & Shrimp Jambalaya

15 min

Many cuisines have a meat and rice dish in their repertoire, and Jambalaya is the Deep South's version. This dish doesn't take all that long to cook, making it a delicious one pan meal.

Adding our Creole Spice doubles down on the flavor with a base of paprika, thyme, oregano and cayenne, giving the dish a solid kick of heat. This is a great choice for a week night dinner for two—or double it in a paella pan for a celebration.

Seattle Honey Mustard Chicken

Back in the day, when we first created our Seattle Salmon Rub, it was a time when most folks were hard pressed to think beyond lemon & dill for Salmon. Yes, we're talking 20+ years ago. We wanted the King of Fish to have a blend worthy of its name and created this incredible pan-Asian power house of flavor to compliment it. Ironically, that pigeonholed this versatile blend! As soon as it was on the table we realized that it was equally good on pork and, of course, chicken - but "Seattle Salmon Rub that is Equally Good on Pork and Chicken" is really too long a name... but in all honesty, it's true. (It's also delicious on sweet potatoes, too!)We call this recipe Seattle Honey Mustard Chicken because we've combined the Salmon Rub and all its toasty goodness with our favorite mustard and sweet local honey. All three flavors come together beautifully. The toasted Tellicherry black pepper, cumin, coriander and fennel in the spice blend are accented with orange peel, star anise and a little brown sugar for a sweet counterpoint. Using stone-ground deli mustard has a fresh, true flavor and a great bite, and the cracked mustard seeds add texture to the chicken thighs as they roast. The chicken comes out sticky and delicious coated with sweet sauce. (To add a hint of smokiness, use our Upper Left Madrona Smoked Honey in the sauce.)Because this sauce is SO good, reserve half for future dipping, or chop the chicken and add it to your favorite greens on a bed of rice for a complete meal. As always, add extra heat if it suits your palate. We sprinkled on a little India Red Chile Flake for the finish.

Smoked Brined Trout

Trout is such an underrated fish. It's hardly fishy and has such a mild, delicate flavor. This makes it perfect for our brine. Our Northwest Forest Brine is forward with spices like juniper, California bay leaf, and fennel; infusing the flaky trout from the inside and out. As if this flavor bomb wasn't enough, we heat-smoked the trout to make it really taste like the Cascade Mountains. This brine does more than keep our trout juicy, it also helps preserve it making it a delicacy, hot or cold. Feel free to use any fresh trout available in your area. We always suggest buying local, the fresher the better!For a tasty salad we dressed the trout in a sour cream-Lemon Herb Pepper dressing. Then we added it atop a mound of peppery arugula for a complete meal. Enjoy it on toast with some thinly sliced radishes!
