  • 2 artichokes, cut in half
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 or 5 cloves chopped garlic

Hi everyone, I post new Houston's recipes as I find them. But I look especially hard for ones that people request. So far, I haven't found any of these. If anyone else has these Houston's recipes, please feel free to post them here in the comments. Thanks!

I would love the recipe for the sauce that accompany the artichokes and smoked salmon. I was speaking to an empolyee and they said the secret to the sauce was a specific pickle relish. The purple cabbage was mentioned above and that is one I'd like too. Thanks for the veggie burger recipe.

Here is Houston's Chefs Dressing recipe:

CHEFS DRESSING

1 quart mayonnaise

8 oz. anchovies, lightly drained

1.0 oz garlic, peeled & minced

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/2 cup chives (ends removed,minced med.)

3/4 cup parsley (chopped medium fine by hand)

1/4 cup fresh tarragon (chopped medium)

1/2 tsp. ground black pepper

1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Place first 4 ingredients in Cuisinart and process until small pieces of anchovy appear.

Remove processed ingredients and place into bowl. Stir in all remaining ingredients except lemon juice. Allow to sit in refrigerator for at least 8 hours.

Add lemon juice when you are ready to serve.

The herbs are the secret to this and they must be fresh.

I want the Houstons recipe for the sauce served with the salmon and toast points. Anyone know it?

longhorn  says:

I can't say exactly what the black beans have in them, but I know they are made with chicken stock, and the cocoa part is actually the Houston's 5-Nut Brownie icing (contains espresso). There is no barbeque sauce in the black beans. Trust me.

I too would like the recipe for the chef sauce Houston's serves with their salmon. And I'm looking for their salmon marinade as well.

Peg  says:

I am obssessed with their black beans and brown rice. I thought they were kidding when they said they use something from their brownie recipe in them --it is amazing.

Anita  says:

I know most of the ingredients for the Chef's Dressing, but not the amount of each ingredient.


Mayo, garlic, taragon, parsley, cayane, anchovy paste, lemon, chives


It's also great if you add capers and diced red onion directly to the sauce.

Spicy Caesar Dressing


1 Egg Yolk 1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic 2 tsp. Dijon mustard 2 Anchovy fillets, minced 1 1/2 tsp. Coarsely ground black pepper 1/4 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. each: ground coriander & cumin 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 2 tsp. Cold water 1/2 C. each: extra-virgin olive oil & canola oil 1 1/2 Tbsp. Sambal chili paste (Thai Chili Paste) Juice of 1/2 each: lemon & lime 3 Tbsp. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese


Combine yolk, garlic, mustard, anchovies, pepper, salt, coriander, cumin, Worcestershire & water in food processor; process until smooth. With motor running, pour oils in a slow, steady stream into egg mixture. When all oil has been incorporated, add chili paste, lemon & limejuices, and Parmesan; process until smooth.



If you want the regular cesar version, just leave out the chile paste, coriander, and cumin. I made it the other night that way and its was incredible!
