Angelic Roadkill Recipes

TIM'S ROADKILL HASH

Steps:

• Turn on and preheat a deep fryer to 350 degrees F. Turn on a griddle to 350 degrees F.
• In a saucepot on low heat bring Green Chili to a simmer and hold. Add tots to fryer and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove tots and put into a bowl with Feisty Seasoning; toss. Let cool 1 minute, then mash lightly to break apart the tots (don't overmash).
• Meanwhile, add olive oil to griddle and add jalapenos and onions. Cook for 1 minute, then add bacon. Remove all ingredients from griddle to bowl with the tots. Mix together and place on a plate. Cook eggs to order. Ladle Green Chili over tater tot hash mixture, then sprinkle cheese over top. Add eggs to the top, then drizzle with Cholula Mayo and serve.
• For the dry rub: Put the paprika, granulated garlic, oregano, black pepper, iodized salt, seasoning salt, onion powder, white pepper and thyme in a bowl and whisk until fully blended. Put into an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place. Keeps 4 weeks.
• For the beer braised pulled pork: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Score the fat cap of the pork butt with 1-inch squares. Generously rub 1 cup dry rub into every nook and cranny of the pork. Cut onions in half horizontally between root and tip. Lay onions flat in a flameproof roasting pan, then add oil and cook over medium heat until they start to slightly turn brown on bottom, about 3 minutes. Place pork atop the onions and pour in beer (do not pour directly on pork). Turn heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover with heavy duty aluminum foil and bake overnight or 14 hours. Remove from oven and remove foil. Let rest at room temperature until it can be handled, about 25 minutes. Remove pork from pan and place on a sheet pan. Remove the scored fat cap on top and remove the large pieces of fat in the butt; shred meat with shredding forks or by hand (do not overshred; leave some chunks). Reserve 2 onions from roasting pan for green chili prep.
• Put 1/2 cup reserved liquid from roasting pan back into the pork and mix lightly together.
• For the green chili: Dice 1 cup onions from the pulled pork. In a pasta pot on medium-high heat, cook onions, stirring frequently, until they start to brown slightly, 3 to 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic starts to brown, then add 1 cup of the roasted Anaheim peppers. Stir in until mixed, then add flour. Cook flour for 1 minute, stirring. Add tomatillos, chicken stock, jalapenos and remaining Anaheims. Bring heat to medium-low. Add cumin, granulated garlic, oregano and salt, then stir in hot sauce and slowly bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and cook for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from heat and add 1 1/2 pounds pulled pork, lime juice and cilantro. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Combine onion powder, salt, vinegar powder, maple sugar powder, granulated garlic, paprika, granulated sugar and ancho powder in a bowl and whisk until fully blended together. Put in an airtight container; keeps 4 weeks.
• Add mayonnaise, Cholula, mustard and granulated garlic to a bowl and whisk until completely combined. Put in an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps 10 days.

ANGELIC ROADKILL

Steps:

• Cut the ribs in half and set aside.
• Mix all of the other ingredients together in a bowl. Start with the chicken broth before adding the honey; whisk the honey and tomato paste in, to help them both dissolve.
• Marinate the meat in the other ingredients, turning to coat everything. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours; overnight is best.
• Make a pouch out of aluminum foil and place the meat and its marinade inside. Crimp it shut.
• Place the aluminum foil pouch into a heated 225 degree (Fahrenheit) oven.
• Roast for 6 hours.
• Remove, plate, and serve. A good side-dish for these ribs are Native American fry bread, tortillas, or warmed pita bread.

FIVE-SPICE ANGEL FOOD CAKE WITH ORANGE CREME ANGLAISE-HOMEMADE

Steps:

• For cake: In bowl, sift together flour, five-spice powder and salt.
• Sift mixture a second time.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and extracts together at medium speed.
• Increase speed to high and continue to beat mixture until soft peaks form.
• Gradually add the sugar, beating until just before peaks are stiff.
• Egg white mixture should be glossy and smooth.
• Be careful not to over beat, or the cake will not be as tall.
• Fold half of the flour mixture into the egg white mixture with a rubber spatula.
• Then fold in the remaining flour mixture, being careful not to overwork the batter and knock the air out.
• Pour batter into ungreased 10-inch tube pan and place on the middle oven rack.
• Bake at 350°F until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• For Creme Anglaise: Meanwhile, in a 2-quart pan over medium-high heat, combine the half-and-half, sugar and orange peel.
• Bring the mixture to a scald (just below the boiling point), then remove from heat and set aside for the flavors to steep for 30 minutes.
• Return the pan to heat and reheat to scalding.
• Back to Cake: Remove cake from oven and let stand for a few minutes before inverting onto a rack to cool; do not remove cake from pan yet.
• Back to Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks.
• Add a ladle full of the scalded cream mixture to the yolks to temper them, whisking immediately.
• This is important or you will end up with scrambled eggs instead of a nice sauce.
• With heat at medium, add warmed yolks to pan, whisking constantly until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes.
• (Do not allow mixture to come to a boil.) Immediately pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl.
• Set the bowl into a larger bowl of ice water and allow it to cool.
• When cold, stir in the orange-flavored liqueur.
• Back to cake: When cake is completely cool, turn pan over and gently run a knife around the edges to loosen cake.
• Turn cake out onto a serving plate.
• Cut cake using a serrated knife and serve each piece atop a pool of creme anglaise.
