Frydad's Playtime with Unique Ingredients - 3-some style.
First of all. Go to the grocery store, in the soda aisle. By the "ethnic" or "weird" sodas, look for the word "Colita" or "Kolita". It might be red.
Buy it.
Add rum.
This TD was a challenge because I didn't want to just do traditional barbeque. I'd lose.
So here's what I did.
Pork Tenderloin. Marinated overnight in a pineapple mojo I created, with pineapple juice, garlic, parsley, and Goya brand Bitter Orange Salt.
The next day, I made achiote sauce (blended anatto seeds, lime, cumin, habanero, serrano, clove, salt, garlic, tequila, uhhhh....shit...a bunch of other stuff...if you really need to know, you can find it online)
Today I covered the tenderloin in the achiote sauce and wrapped it in a banana leaf. Put it on the smoke for 4 hours pretty low.
Beef Ribs. I love beef ribs. The good ones are cut off the prime rib, and then sold cheap.
I used jerk sauce, which I always add more habanero, soy sauce, and lime juice to.
Smoked on the back part of the grill for about 2.5 hours. Good and low. These were tremendous!
Served with homemade ranch dressing.
Smoked Jicama. I wanted to do something crazy, and this was it. I bought a jicama, peeled it, put it in a bowl of ice, and smoked it.
It didn't cook...but it took on the smoke flavor. Shredded on the cheese shredder, tossed with:
Fresh pineapple and watermelon, basil, serrano, simple syrup. Placed in the freezer. Served by the ice-cream scoop.
Coco Bread...This is a TD staple for me. It is one of my favorite breads of all time, and it goes so well with pulled/sliced pork.
PM me for the recipe. Or just look one up (but I fold mine twice to make a triangle, instead of a half-circle)
Sliced the pork on the meat slicer, topped with a simple slaw, with added fresh pineapple, on the coco bread.
And the Colita and Rum....No Mercy!
Jerk Beef Ribs.
Great bark. They look black, but its mostly the jerk seasoning. The ribs were perfectly tender! I'll smoke em like that again!
Werd.
