Low Country Veggie Rolls Recipes

LOW COUNTRY BOIL

Steps:

• Heat an extra-large pot of water over medium-high heat (you can do this indoors or outside with a propane burner). Add the seafood seasoning and bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and sausage and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and cook until tender, about 5 more minutes. Add the crab and cook another 5 minutes. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, another 3 or 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan; remove from the heat and add the garlic and sprinkle with seafood seasoning. Drain the seafood mixture and transfer to a newspaper-lined table or a large platter. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the garlic butter.

LOW COUNTRY NACHOS

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Continue to whisk for 1 minute, making sure the mixture doesn't brown. Gradually whisk in the milk and cook, whisking often, until it just barely bubbles along the sides of the pan, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, add the American and Monterey Jack cheeses and stir until melted. Stir in the jalapeño. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time. Add salt and pepper to taste and keep the cheese sauce warm.
• Toss together the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of the oil, the seafood seasoning and garlic in a medium bowl. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes. Add the crabmeat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through and the crabmeat is warmed through, about 2 minutes more.
• Spread a layer of tortilla chips on a serving platter. Top with some of the shrimp and crab mixture and drizzle with some cheese sauce. Repeat with another layer of chips, shrimp and crab mixture and cheese sauce, building your nachos as high as you like. Sprinkle with the green onions and cilantro and serve immediately.

LOW COUNTRY VEGGIE ROLLS

Steps:

• To make the filling for the egg rolls, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a wok or large skillet. Add the collard greens, cabbage, carrots, onion, salt and pepper and saute until wilted and beginning to soften, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Turn up the heat to medium-high and add the soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar and liquid smoke and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, then add the scallions and black-eyed peas. Remove to a bowl and let cool completely.
• Preheat 2 inches canola oil to 350 degrees F in a deep skillet or enameled cast-iron pot. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Lay an egg roll wrapper on a cutting board, oriented in a diamond shape. Add about an eighth of the mixture (a generous 1/3 cup) horizontally across the wrapper, in a line going from one corner to another. With your finger, spread a little water on the edges of the wrapper to moisten. Fold up the bottom corner over the filling, then fold in the ends and roll up the wrapper, making sure it is sealed. Set aside and repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
• Fry the rolls in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to the wire rack to drain.
• Serve warm with the Pepper Jelly Sauce.
• Whisk together the pepper jelly, hot sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil and vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
