Shizzled and Mango Salsa-Stuffed Pork Loin

Ingredients:
1 (3 1/2-lb) center-cut boneless pork loin roast (4 to 5 inches in diameter)
1 Cup of The Shizzle Jerk Marinade

Mango Salsa:
1 mango, peeled and diced
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (or other pepper of choice)
1 lime, zested and juiced
1 jalapeno, minced
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Salt and pepper

Combining remaining salsa ingredients in a bowl. Pour vinaigrette into bowl and mix together. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450°F.

If pork loin has been tied, discard strings. Put loin, fat side down, on a cutting board lined with plastic wrap. Butterfly pork in a spiral cut: Find beginning of a flap on long side of loin (where bone was removed). Starting at inside edge of flap, make a long cut lengthwise down side of loin with a very sharp boning or paring knife, stopping one inch from bottom (this is beginning of spiral). Turn knife parallel to bottom of loin and begin to cut your way inward (parallel to bottom), keeping thickness of meat as even as possible, using your other hand to gently lift and pull top portion of meat away from knife, until loin is one long flat piece of meat.

Cover pork with a sheet of plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 inch thick with a smooth meat pounder or rolling pin. Remove plastic wrap and coat top side of pork with The Shizzle Jerk Marinade. Spread a portion of the mango salsa over top of pork, enough to create even 1/4 inch layer. Beginning with end that was interior of loin, roll up loin tightly and arrange, seam side down (fat side up), on cutting board. Then tie with kitchen string at 1-inch intervals. Coat the exterior of the roast thoroughly with The Shizzle, covering fat layer well.

Put pork, fat side up, on oiled rack in roasting pan and roast in middle of oven. After 20 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 325°F. Continue roasting about 30 more minutes, until thermometer inserted diagonally two inches into meat registers 155°F.

Transfer pork to a platter and let stand 25 minutes.

Discard string, then slice pork and serve with generous topping of remaining mango salsa.

Shizzled Jerk Chicken Sandwich with Pineapple Relish

Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken thighs, or breast filets if preferred
1 cup of The Shizzle jerk marinade
4 potato rolls or preferred sandwich buns
4 tbsp mayonnaise

Relish Ingredients:
2 cups freshly diced pineapple
1/4 cups diced cilantro
1/4 cups diced red bell pepper
1/4 cups diced red onion
2 tbsp lime juice (juice of 1-2 limes)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp honey
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Directions:
If using chicken breasts more than 3/4 inches thick, cover breasts with plastic wrap and pound to 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick. This will tenderize meat and improve penetration of marinade. Thighs are already tender and absorbent and do not require this step.

Pat meat dry with paper towels. Place meat in zip top bag, and pour in enough of The Shizzle jerk marinade to thoroughly coat the meat. Place in refrigerator and marinate for 1 to 24 hours.

To make relish, combine diced pineapple, cilantro, bell pepper, and onion in a bowl. In a separate bowl, combine lime juice, salt, honey, olive oil, and stir or wisk thoroughly to make vinaigrette. Pour vinaigrette over diced ingredients and stir together thoroughly. Cover relish and place in refrigerator until ready to serve.

Cook meat on grill over low to medium heat to desired tenderness, ensuring that some nice, dark caramelization of The Shizzle jerk marinade occurs. If desired, meat can be broiled or cooked directly in a skillet.

Place meat on warm or toasted potato rolls with a dab of mayo. Drain pineapple relish of excess juice and place a generous amount of relish on top of meat. Enjoy…It’s The Shizzle!

Shizzled Brisket Sandwich

Makes 6 very large sandwiches

Ingredients:
1 4-5 pound beef brisket
1 jar of The Shizzle jerk marinade
1 cup pineapple juice
1 12-ounce can Coca Cola
1 large onion
1 tablespoon sugar
Pinch of salt
1 pound mozzarella cheese
12 thick slices of Texas toast
Butter

Directions:
Trim and clean brisket of any excess fat or silver skin and place in a heavy roasting pan. Pour entire jar of Shizzle over brisket and rub the beef until it is well coated. Cover the pan with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.

Preheat oven to 350°F. Add the pineapple juice and cola to the roasting pan and place into oven. Braise brisket for 3 to 4 hours. When brisket is fork tender remove from oven. When the meat has cooled slightly, transfer to a carving board and let rest for 15 minutes. Use two forks or your fingers to pull the brisket apart into loose strands. Alternatively, you can slice the meat thin and then chop it up.

While the brisket is cooking, peel the onion and slice very thin. Add the onion to a medium pot over low heat. Slowly cook the onion while stirring occasionally. When the onions have softened, add the salt and sugar and continue to cook. When the onions have turned a golden brown, remove the pan from heat and set aside.

Build your sandwich: Add a couple tablespoons of butter to a large frying pan over medium heat. Add Texas toast to the pan (you may want to do this in 2 or 3 batches). Pile on the pulled brisket to the toast slices. On top of the brisket, add a good handful of sautéed onion. Then add thick slices of mozzarella. Top with Texas toast. Lightly toast one side, flip over and cook the other side until the cheese is good and melted. Serve hot.

Shizzled Chicken and Pineapple Sandwich

1 cup The Shizzle jerk marinade
1 can pineapple rings

8 slices of hearty bread
Butter

Make your sandwich: Heat up a large frying pan or Panini machine. Add a couple tablespoons of butter to the skillet or brush the Panini machine with melted butter.

Shizzled Chicken Pizza

Serves 4 to 6

Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup The Shizzle jerk marinade

For the pizza crust (or use store bought):
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
½ teaspoon brown sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water (110°F)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

For the oven roasted tomatoes:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
8-10 branches of fresh thyme
a few spring of fresh rosemary
salt and freshly cracked pepper
1 pound tomatoes, (8 small or 4 medium-sized)
1 cup marinara sauce
1 red onion, peeled and sliced thin
1 large green bell pepper, stem and seeds removed, cut into strips
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:
Add the chicken and Shizzle sauce to a large, sealable plastic bag. Shake and squeeze the Shizzle over the chicken until well covered. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours.
Heat up a gas or charcoal grill (or use a large skillet). Cook the chicken thoroughly, about 7 to 8 minutes per side. Remove to a large platter until needed. When cooled, slice the chicken about ¼-inch thin.

Make the oven roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 325°F. Pour the olive oil into a shallow baking dish or pan and add the garlic, thyme, rosemary, and salt and pepper.

Cut the tomatoes into halves or thirds horizontally, then use a sharp knife to remove the stems. Toss the tomatoes with the oil and seasonings, and then lay them cut side down in the dish.

Bake for two hours or until the tomatoes are completely softened and start to wrinkle. The length of time depends on the size and variety of tomatoes. Remove from oven and let cool.

Make the pizza crust: In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and brown sugar in the water, and let sit for 10 minutes.

Stir the salt and oil into the yeast solution. Mix in 2 1/2 cups of the flour. Turn dough out onto a clean, well-floured surface, and knead in more flour until the dough is no longer sticky. Place the dough into a well-oiled bowl, and cover with a cloth or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise until double; this should take about 1 hour. Punch down the dough, and form a tight ball. Allow the dough to relax for a minute before rolling out.

Make the pizza: Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface. If you are baking the dough on a pizza stone, you may place your toppings on the dough, and bake immediately. If you are baking your pizza in a pan, lightly oil the pan, and let the dough rise for 15 or 20 minutes before topping and baking it.

Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch edge around the outside. Sprinkle a handful of cheese over the top. Add the chicken, tomatoes, onion, and peppers. Add the remainder of the cheese over the top.
Bake pizza in preheated oven, until the cheese and crust are golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Let cool for a couple of minutes before slicing.
