“Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister, Hey sister, go sister, soul sister, go sister”
Who doesn’t love the opening lines to Lady Marmalade, the amazing disco hit from La Belle. I knew the iconic phrase “Voulez vous couchez avec moi, ce soir?” before I even knew it was in a foreign language. Or what exactly it meant! Today, we are celebrating Lady Marmalade hitting number one in the charts way back in 1975 with a Lady Marmalade salad via Jamie Oliver’s Veg.
Lady Marmalade Salad – The Recipe
He met Marmalade down in old New Orleans, strutting her stuff on the street
She said, “Hello, hey Joe, You wanna give it a go?”
If you want to give it a go, here’s the recipe!
Why Should You Try This?
It has a very cool name and will have you humming and possibly busting a few of your best disco moves while you make it. It is also a gorgeous mix of crispy, crunchy, sweet, sour and touch of bitter!
As Jamie mentions it is lovely with creamy cheese. Although I preferred mine with a rose!
This is so good, it will make
the savage beast inside, Roar until it cried, more, more, more
Variations
- I could not find different colours of chicory so I just used the green one. The red shallots added a splash of colour.
- I also could not find chervil so I used some finely chopped tarragon to give that anise flavour.
- I also used a mix of seeds and nuts to add the crunch
Ok, so promise me that some time this week you will play this track and sing along with me
