Kalua Pig Monte Cristo Egg Rolls Recipes

S'MORE EGGROLL

Steps:

• In a deep pot, heat oil to 380 degrees F. In a small bowl, beat egg.
• Cut chocolate into 1/2-inch cubes. Take an egg roll wrapper, and brush edges with egg wash, and lay on a work surface, wash side up, with a point facing you, not a straight edge. Place about 2 ounces of chocolate 1 or 2 inches from the edge, and top with 1/4 cup of microwaved marshmallow or fluff.
• Fold the corner closest you up and just over the filling, press lightly, then fold in the sides, making a little pull or tuck to keep the roll right. Then roll away from you and press to seal tightly. (Take care not to tear the egg roll wrapper. This can cause roll to leak while cooking. If tear occurs, pinch dough together until it reseals or discard wrap and use a new one.) Repeat until all egg rolls are formed.
• Fry egg rolls 4 at a time, turning almost immediately, cooking on all sides to just golden brown, less than a minute. (Make sure not to overcook filling. If you see marshmallows start to ooze out before both sides are golden, filling will be overcooked and egg roll will appear hollow inside) Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat until all cooked. Make sure to check your oil temperature between additions.
• When ready to serve, dust with powdered sugar and graham cracker crumbs. Serve immediately, but caution very hot!

ITALIAN MONTE CRISTO

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the jam, mustard and rosemary. Lay out the slices of bread. Divide the mustard mixture evenly over the 8 slices of bread and spread almost to the edges. Put a slice of cheese on each piece of bread, followed by 2 slices of prosciutto. Put together 2 of the bread slices for each sandwich.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the heavy cream and salt and whisk to combine.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and heat for 1 minute. Working with one sandwich at a time, dip both sides of the sandwich in the batter and place directly into the hot pan. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Cover with a lid and allow to cook until the first side is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove the lid, flip each sandwich and continue to cook on the remaining side until golden brown and the cheese is melted, approximately another 4 minutes. (Or cook in batches if needed.)
• Sprinkle one side of each sandwich with powdered sugar and serve warm.

KAHLUA PIG SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Julienne the carrots, green beans, and celery. Shred the Kahlua pig and season it with salt and pepper. Whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash.
• Wrap all ingredients, including bean sprouts, in lumpia wrappers, using egg wash to seal. Preheat a deep fryer or a heavy pot halfway filled with oil to 360 degrees F. Deep-fry the rolls until golden brown on all sides. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
• Cut each roll in half on a slant. Serve with Pineapple Salsa.
• Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Serve with Kahlua Spring Rolls.

OVEN KALUA PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Make several slashes along the surface of the pork butt. Rub with salt, then liquid smoke. Prepare ti leaves by removing the rib. Lay out a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and place 4 ti leaves on top. Place pork on leaves and wrap them around the pork. Cover with remaining leaves in the opposite direction until pork is completely wrapped. Wrap the foil tightly around the pork to make a watertight seal.
• Place package in a large roasting pan. Fill with two inches of water and cover pan tightly with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Lower temperature to 325 degrees F and cook for 3-3 1/2 hours or until tender. Unwrap pork from package and shred before serving.

THE BIG EGG MONTE CRISTO

Steps:

• For the French toast batter: Whisk the eggs, sugar, lemon zest, cardamom, salt, cream and vanilla in a bowl until blended.
• Dip the bread in the batter and cover all sides. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate and coat the dipped bread in the breadcrumbs.
• Add butter to a pan on medium-high heat to melt and place coated bread in the pan.
• Once it is golden brown, add more butter and flip the bread over. Remove the French toast from the pan once golden brown.
• Pour the maple syrup on each piece of toast. Crumble Gorgonzola cheese on one piece of French toast per sandwich. Grill off the Black Forest ham and place on top of the cheese.
• Cook an egg (any style) and place on top of the ham.
• Put the other piece of French toast on top of the ham and dust with powdered sugar.

KALUA PORK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• After scoring pork on all sides with 1/4-inch deep slits about 1-inch apart, rub with 3 tablespoons salt, then liquid smoke. Wrap the pork completely in ti leaves, tie with string, and wrap in foil. Place meat in a shallow roasting pan with 2 cups of water and roast for 4 hours. Dissolve 1 tablespoon Hawaiian salt in 2 cups boiling water and add a few drops of liquid smoke. Shred the cooked pork and let stand in this solution for a few minutes before serving.

KALUA PIG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Lay 2 sheets of foil (each about 1 feet long) on a work surface with long sides overlapping by about 4 inches. Cut 2 (12-inch) lengths from banana leaf and center 1 on foil. Put pork on banana leaf and sprinkle with salt and liquid smoke. Cover top of pork with other 12-inch length of banana leaf and 2 overlapping sheets of foil (each about 1 1/2 feet long). Crimp edges of foil tightly to form a packet and put in a large roasting pan. Add 1 inches of water and cover pan tightly with more foil.
• Bake pork in middle of oven 4 hours. Pour off liquid from pan and, when pork is just cool enough to handle, shred with 2 forks in a bowl. Serve warm.

SAM CHOY'S OVEN-ROASTED KALUA PIG

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Using small sharp knife, cut 1/4-inch-deep slits 1 inch apart all over pork roast. Rub 2 tablespoons sea salt all over pork. Unfold 1 banana leaf on work surface and place pork roast atop leaf. Fold up leaf around pork, enclosing completely. Repeat wrapping pork in remaining 2 banana leaves, 1 at a time.
• Tie with kitchen string to secure, then wrap roast in foil. Place pork in roasting pan; pour 4 cups water into pan.
• Roast pork in oven until very tender when pierced with fork, about 5 hours. Unwrap pork and cool slightly. Shred pork and place in large bowl. Bring remaining 2 cups water and remaining 2 teaspoons salt to boil in small saucepan. Add liquid smoke; pour over pork and stir to blend. Let stand 10 minutes to allow liquid to flavor pork. Serve.

MONTE CRISTO PULL-APART SLIDERS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the raspberry jam: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook the raspberries for about 4 minutes, until they start to burst and become very fragrant. Add the sugar and cook, stirring constantly, for 10-15 minutes, until running a spoon through the jam leaves an open trail at the bottom of the pot. Stir in the lemon juice. Remove the pot from the heat and let the jam cool completely. Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Make the sliders: Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C). Line a small baking sheet with foil, leaving enough overhang so the sides can be used as handles. Grease with nonstick spray.
• Slice the sheet of Hawaiian rolls in half horizontally, leaving the individual rolls connected. Place the bottom half in the prepared baking sheet.
• Layer the turkey and ham on top, making sure to fold the meat to fit inside the individual squares of the rolls, then top with the Swiss cheese.
• Spread the raspberry jam over the top half of the rolls and place on top of the cheese layer, pressing down lightly.
• In a small bowl, mix together the egg and melted butter. Liberally brush on top of the rolls.
• Bake the sliders until the cheese is completely melted and the buns are toasted, 25-30 minutes. If the tops begin to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
• Remove the sliders from oven and let cool for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a serving platter. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and serve whole so the sliders can be pulled apart.
• Enjoy!
