- Emeril's ESSENCE Creole Seasoning:
- 2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- Combine all ingredients thoroughly.
- Yield: 2/3 cup
- Couscous:
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/2 cup small diced red onion or shallots
- 1/2 cup small diced carrot
- 1/2 cup currants
- 1 (10-ounce) package couscous
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground white pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves
- Set a 1-quart saucepan over high heat and add the water, red onions, carrots and currants. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes. While the water boils, combine the remaining ingredients except the mint in a medium heat-proof bowl. Pour the water over the couscous in the bowl and cover with plastic wrap.

- Yield: about 4 cups
- Sauteed Cremini Mushrooms:
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons minced shallots
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pound cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- Set a 12-inch saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and once melted, add the shallots and garlic to the pan. Cook for 1 minute, then add the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Continue to cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until softened and most of the liquid has evaporated, 7 to 8 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the balsamic vinegar and continue to cook until the vinegar has reduced by 1/2, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and serve the mushrooms spooned over the chicken and couscous.
