Emerils Knife And Fork Open Faced Sandwich Recipes

EMERIL'S KNIFE AND FORK OPEN-FACED SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• For the white remoulade: In a food processor, fitted with a metal blade, combine the egg, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and horseradish. Process until smooth. With the machine running and in a steady stream, add the oil until the mixture is thick. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
• Spread each side of the bread with the butter. Place the bread on the griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Remove from the griddle. Spread each piece of the bread with the white remoulade. Mound about 1/3 of a pound on the meat on each piece of bread. Lay 2 slices of the cheese on top of each mound of meat. Place each piece of bread on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly, about 6 to 8 minutes. Fry the potatoes in a little hot oil in a saute pan until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. To serve, place 2 open-faced sandwiches on each plate. Garnish each with a pile of potatoes and parsley.

ROUND 2 RECIPE - OPEN FACED ROASTED PORK SANDWICH

Steps:

• In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat the canola oil. Add the potatoes and cook until lightly browned and crispy, about 10 minutes. Add the onions and pork, season with salt and pepper and cook until the onions and pork are heated through.
• Preheat the oven broiler.
• Spread the spicy brown mustard on one side of each slice of bread and place onto a baking sheet. Divide the sauteed pork between the 2 slices of bread. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cheese over the top of each and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mustard, canola oil, garlic, sugar and chopped rosemary. Place the pork roast on top of a rack fitted in a roasting pan. Place the 2 rosemary sprigs underneath the pork. Sprinkle the roast well with salt and pepper. Using a brush or hands, completely coat the roast with the mustard and garlic paste.
• Place the roast in the oven and roast until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees F, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Remove from the oven, cover loosely with foil and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing.

NOLA RIB-EYE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Preheat the fryer. Season the ribeye with olive oil and Essence. In a saute pan, pan saute the steaks for 4 minutes on each side for medium rare. For the potatoes: In a sauce pot, bring the potatoes (covered with salted water) up to a boil and reduce the heat. Cook the potatoes until they are fork tender, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the heat and drain. Place back in the sauce pot and partly mash with a hand masher. (This dehydrates the potatoes) Add the cream, butter and garlic. Mash until incorporated but the potatoes still have lumps. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the fried onions: In a small mixing bowl, toss the onions with the hot sauce. Dredge the onions in the seasoned flour and sift completely removing any excess flour. Fry the onions for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the fryer and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with Essence. Remove the steaks from the saute pan and deglaze the pan with the Worcestershire sauce. Place the hoagie bun on a platter. Lay the rib-eye across the bottom bun. Mound the potatoes on the top of the steak. Spoon the worcestershire sauce over the potatoes. Pile the onions on top of the potatoes. Garnish with parsley and Zaps.
• Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
