Secrets from Latil's Landing at Houmas House
Beet and Crab Salad with Candied Bacon
Serves 4
12 Strips of bacon
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white granulated sugar
Pre heat oven to 350 Degrees. In a mixing bowl combine brown and white sugar.
Dredge each strip of bacon in the sugar mixture, being sure that the bacon is coated on each side. Shake off any excess sugar and place bacon on a baking sheet pan. Bake bacon in the oven for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove bacon from oven and transfer the strips of bacon onto a clean baking sheet pan and allow the bacon to cool. Serve with BLT salad.
1/2 pound Fresh beets
1/2 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
Cut the tops and bottoms off the beets. Place the beets in a small roasting pan and fill the pan with water coming 1/3 of the way up the pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil. Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the beets are tender.
1 pound Jumbo-lump Crab meat, picked
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Sour cream
2 tablespoons Minced shallots
Salt and pepper to taste
In a mixing bowl, toss the crab meat, mayonnaise, sour cream, shallots and horseradish together. Season the salad with salt and pepper.
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tbsp red-wine vinegar
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp Creole mustard
2 tbsp honey
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp sugar
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh purple basil
8 cups salad greens
Salt and Pepper to taste
In a Salad bowl, whisk oil, vinegars, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, sugar, honey,
and purple basil. Season with salt and pepper. Add salad greens and gently toss in the dressing.
To assemble, divide the beet slices into equal portions. Cover the center of each plate with the beet slices. Mound the crab salad on one side and lettuce on another, over the beet slices on each plate. Place 3 stripes of candied bacon on top each each salad.
