Got good taste? Rub it in! Emeril’s Essence features the perfect blend of spices and herbs to compliment any meat, chicken or fi sh entrée.

Emeril’s® Essence contains a special blend of seasoning that is truly unique and is considered the “secret ingredient” in many of the acclaimed chef’s dishes. In addition to Original, Emeril’s Essence is

available in Bayou Blast, Southwest and Italian varieties, perfect for every “at home” chef’s seasoning needs.

Next time you prepare a family meal, try one of Emeril’s favorite recipes using his Original Essence, Chicken Paillards over Arugula.* This recipe combines fresh, fl avorful ingredients fi t for a true gourmand, but is simple enough to prepare in a pinch.

IngredIents❏ Four 6- to 8-oz boneless, skinless

chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/4” thickness

❏ 5 oz fresh arugula or baby greens, tough stems removed, rinsed and spun dry

❏ 3 tbsp plus 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving

❏ 2 1⁄2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more for serving

❏ 1 3⁄4 tsp salt❏ Freshly ground black pepper❏ Emeril’s® Original Essence, to

taste❏ 1⁄4 cup coarsely grated❏ Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

dIrectIonsPreheat grill to high, and lightly coat grate with oil.In large bowl, combine arugula, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1⁄4 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Toss gently to combine. Season to taste, and divide the greens among four large plates.In small bowl, combine remaining 2 tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil with the remaining 1 1⁄2 tsp lemon juice, 1⁄2 tsp salt, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir to blend. Rub about 3⁄4 tsp of the olive oil mixture over one side of each piece of chicken and season lightly with Emeril’s® Original Essence. Season each chicken breast on both sides with 1⁄4 tsp of remaining salt.Carefully place the chicken, oiled side down, on the hot grill. Using a spoon, dab the remaining olive oil mixture onto the exposed chicken and rub it evenly over the meat. Cook until chicken is fi rm to the touch and just cooked through, 1-2 minutes per side.To serve, place 1 chicken breast in the center of each arugula salad, and drizzle each lightly with additional extra-virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice. Sprinkle 1 tbsp grated cheese on top of each serving, and serve immediately.

Chicken Paillards over Arugula Serves: 4

Spring is such an exciting season. From the fi rst tiny strawberries to a profusion of blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, these sweet and colorful fruits make for a deliciously simple starring role in homemade desserts.

“I live an area of California known for its abundance of fresh produce. The beginning of the berry season is always my favorite time,” says Stephanie Gallo, a third generation Gallo family member. “These tiny fruits burst with so much fl avor. They are so easy to use in baked goods. Pairing them with a light bodied, sweet wine is a fantastic way to end a great meal.”

Gallo Family Vineyards’ Taste of Home recipe collection has a signature Tiny Berry Tartlets recipe that’s showcase these jewels of the garden. The warm fl aky crust makes the perfect complement to nature’s sweetest fl avors. Try serving this scrumptious dessert with Gallo Family Vineyards’ light bodied Pink Moscato. Its bouquet of fl avors including white peaches, passion fruit and honeydew melon make it a wonderful pairing.

Gallo Family Vineyards stands behind every bottle of wine it produces with the Best Taste Promise. If you are not completely satisfi ed with the quality of the wine that you’ve chosen to share with your guests, Gallo Family Vineyards invites you to share your thoughts at their offi cial website. It’s just one of the many ways Gallo Family Vineyards maintains its 75 year tradition of producing the highest quality wines at a reasonable price.

Make mushrooms the “hidden treasure” in your kitchen by adding them to any and every family meal. Whether paired with meat, tossed in an omelet or wrapped in a sandwich, umami-rich mushrooms add a unique, rich flavor to your recipes. Learn how to blend mushrooms with meat to create delectable dishes your family will love and you’ll feel good serving. See how mushrooms can help bulk up any dish with important nutrients, and depending on how you use them, they may help to save time, money, calories and fat.

MushrooMs and Meat: the Perfect Partner

Mushrooms’ hearty texture and flavor make them compatible with meats both as a complement or replacement.

Swap in mushrooms for a portion of the higher-calorie ingredients in a dish to reduce calories and fat.

Blend in diced mushrooms to get another vegetable serving into your family’s favorite meals like spaghetti, hamburgers and sloppy Joes.

eatIng healthy never tasted so good

Mushrooms are not only low in calories and fat free, but their flavorful umami content allows for less salt to be used in a dish, without compromising taste.

Mushrooms are the only fresh fruit or vegetable with vitamin D.

Within the produce aisle, mushrooms are a leading source of the antioxidants selenium and ergothioneine. These antioxidants help strengthen the immune system.

Mushrooms provide B vitamins, including riboflavin, niacin, and pantothenic acid. B vitamins help to provide energy by breaking down proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

tIPs and trIcks of the tradeStore mushrooms in their original

packaging or in a porous paper bag for prolonged shelf-life.

Clean mushrooms by brushing them off with a damp paper towel; avoid soaking them in water.

Save money and effort by buying and sautéing mushrooms in bulk, having them ready to add to any dish, any time. Sautéed mushrooms will keep frozen for up to one month.

Use stems and gills from a cleaned out portabella to make mushroom stock that can be used in soups, sauces, and ragouts.

the MushrooM councIlThe Mushroom Council is composed

of fresh market producers or importers who average more than 500,000 pounds of mushrooms produced or imported annually. The mushroom program is authorized by the Mushroom Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act of 1990 and is administered by the Mushroom Council under the supervision of the Agricultural Marketing Service. Research and promotion programs help to expand, maintain and develop markets for individual agricultural commodities in the United States and abroad. These industry self-help programs are requested and funded by the industry groups that they serve. For more information on the Mushroom Council, visit mushroomcouncil.org.
