Directions

* Note: See the "Bayou Blast - {Emeril's Creole Seasoning}" recipe which is included in this collection.

Make coulis: In a saucepan combine all ingredients except oil and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Transfer to a blender and process, slowly streaming in oil until emulsified. Adjust seasonings. Set aside and keep warm. Make cakes: In a cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, saute green pepper, onion, celery and garlic in 1 teaspoon of oil for 1 minute; transfer to a mixing bowl and combine with chicken, sausage and egg. Add bread crumbs, a bit at a time, until mixture binds; season. Form into 4 cakes; dredge them in remaining bread crumbs. Heat remaining oil in skillet and pan-fry cakes until first side is browned. Flip cakes, transfer pan to oven and bake for 10 minutes. Poach eggs: In a shallow saucepan or skillet bring 2 inches cold water, vinegar and salt to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat until water simmers gently. Begin stirring water and crack in eggs one at a time; they will instantly take form. Poach eggs 3 minutes for soft-cooked, 5 minutes for medium. Using a slotted spoon, scoop out eggs. If necessary, gently pat dry with paper towels. To serve, on 4 dinner plates arrange cakes, top with eggs, then drizzle with warm sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley. This recipe yields 4 servings.
