Jackass Roll Recipes

SOUTHWEST LOBSTER ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
• For the Habanero Butter: Combine the butter, garlic, habanero, shallot and capers in a small saucepan over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper and cook until the shallots start to turn translucent. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, lime juice and zest, cook the mixture until the white wine has reduced and the pan is almost dry. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve to the side.
• For the garlic butter: Combine the butter and garlic in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until the garlic becomes fragrant and softened, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the parsley and mix well. Transfer to a small bowl and reserve to the side.
• For the cilantro-lime mayonnaise: Add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, cilantro and lime zest and juice to a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine. Add the cabbage and mix well to coat. Refrigerate until serving.
• For the Southwest lobster roll: Prepare a grill to medium-high heat. Brush the lobster tail pieces with the habanero butter. Place the tails shell-side down on the grill. Cook for 3 minutes, flip the lobster over, baste liberally with more habanero butter and allow the tails to cook in the butter and their own juices until the tails are curled and the meat is opaque, 4 to 6 minutes more. Remove from the grill and reserve to the side.
• Brush the hot dog buns with the garlic butter. Grill until golden and crisp, about 30 seconds.
• To assemble the southwest lobster roll: Place the avocado slices in the buns. Remove the lobster tails from the shells. Place 2 pieces of lobster tail in each bun. Top with 2 slices of the tomato, followed by 1/4 of the cabbage mixture. Place the Southwest lobster rolls on a large platter and serve immediately.

SAVORY MEAT ROLL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• To make the pesto: Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until mixture turns into a smooth paste. Set aside.
• To make the filling: In a saute pan over medium heat, add oil and then the sausage. Saute the sausage, breaking it up with a spoon, until it cooks through and it turns golden brown. Cool slightly and drain the fat. Set sausage aside in a bowl. Keep mozzarella and Asiago cheese on standby.
• To make the topping: Heat a large saute pan with oil, add the peppers, onion, granulated garlic and Italian seasoning. Cook until vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and mushrooms and cook another 5 minutes. Don't overcook the tomatoes. They should retain their shape. Set aside.
• To make the biscuit dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add the butter and with your fingertips or with a pastry blender blend together until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in milk, using a fork, until the dough comes together. Sprinkle flour on a clean work surface, remove the dough from the bowl and knead several times on the floured surface. Add small amounts of flour, as needed, so that dough will be easy to roll out. Roll the dough out to roughly 15-inches in diameter and generously brush the top with the softened butter.
• To assemble: Spread a layer of pesto on top of the softened butter. Sprinkle the top of the dough evenly with the sausage and top with the mozzarella and Asiago. Roll the dough into a log. Cut the ends off to create even edges then cut the log into 7 or 8 pieces, depending on the length of the roll. Place slices on a baking sheet and press the tops down. Put the ends on the baking sheet and press those tops down. Bake 20 to 30 minutes until biscuits turn golden. Transfer the rolls to a serving platter. Serve topped with the sauteed vegetables and sprinkled with remaining cheese.

BOUILLABAISSE WITH SEARED HALIBUT

Steps:

• Set a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Add the fennel and onions, and cook, until the vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and saffron, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze with the white wine and licorice liqueur, scraping up any browned bits. Reduce the liquid until it's almost completely evaporated. Then add the tomatoes, fish stock, thyme and bay leaf. Add the potatoes, bring to a boil and cook until just tender, about 10 minutes. Add the clams and mussels and simmer for another 3 minutes to give them a head start. Add the shrimp, simmering until the shellfish open, a final 2 minutes. Discard any unopened shellfish.
• Bring a large nonstick saute pan to medium-high heat and add the remaining oil. Pat the halibut fillets dry with a paper towel and sprinkle both sides generously with salt and pepper. Once the oil begins to smoke lightly, sear the halibut. Cook until the bottom is golden and crispy, 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Flip and finish cooking for 1 to 2 minutes on the second side. Remove the fish from pan, keep warm and set aside.
• To serve, place each halibut fillet in the bottom of a shallow serving bowl. Arrange a few potatoes, shrimp, clams and mussels around the fish in each bowl. Ladle broth into the bowls. Garnish with parsley, scallions, a few fennel fronds and lemon wedges. Serve immediately with Garlicky Rouille.
• Peel the potatoes and rough chop. Place the potato, red pepper and garlic into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until just coarsely chopped. Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice and sweet paprika. Process until smooth and creamy. Season with cayenne and salt to taste. Cover and place in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to chill and allow the flavors to come together.
