Sweet n Smoky Jerk Chicken Egg Rolls https://caribbeantrading.com/recipe/sweet-n-smoky-jerk-chicken-egg-rolls/ https://caribbeantrading.com/recipe/sweet-n-smoky-jerk-chicken-egg-rolls/#respond Tue, 12 Aug 2014 14:20:35 +0000 https://caribbeantrading.com/?post_type=recipe&p=6017 This chicken egg rolls recipe is a Caribbean twist on a favorite appetizer and perfect for that themed Caribbean party

Ingredients needed for this chicken egg rolls recipe:

  • 12 egg roll wrappers
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1/2- 2/3 cup Sweet n Smoky Jerk Wing Sauce
  • 1 cup crumbled blue cheese (4 ounces)
  • 1 cup dry coleslaw
  • Small bowl of water
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • Blue cheese dressing, for serving

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lay egg roll wrappers on a clean work surface. In a small bowl, stir chicken and Sweet n Smoky Jerk Wing Sauce until well coated, using more or less sauce depending on your spice preference. The meat should be moist with sauce.
  2. Begin by placing one tablespoon of the cole slaw on the diagonal of the bottom right corner of one of the wrappers. Next, place 2 tablespoons of shredded spicy chicken evenly on top of the slaw. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the blue cheese crumbles over the chicken. Do not overfill.
  3. To fold: Fold the bottom right corner over the stuffing mixture so that it covers it completely, with the tip of the corner now pointing to the center of the egg roll wrapper. Fold in the bottom left corner, followed by the right, so that you now have formed an envelope. Roll the wrap upward one time, leaving the top left corner open. Wet your index finger in the small bowl of water and press to moisten the top left corner. Now fold that down on top of the filled roll, sealing it like you would an envelope.
    Repeat with remaining rolls.
  4. Place the rolls on a wire rack set on top of a cookie sheet (or just on a greased cookie sheet) coated with nonstick cooking spray. Spritz each roll evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls crisp and turn a light golden brown.

Ingredients Needed for this Chicken Wrap:

  • Chicken Breasts, cooked and sliced into strips
  • Tortilla Wraps
  • Avocado
  • 1 Tbsp. Red Beans or Black Beans
  • Lettuce
  • Tomato
  • Green Pepper
  • KooKoo Cumin Wing Sauce, to taste

Directions:

  1. Thinly slice up the Avocado, tomato and green pepper.
  2. Smash some red beans or black beans
  3. Spread some KooKoo Cumin Wing Sauce on the tortilla and layer other ingredients on top.  Roll and enjoy!  For an appetizer, make wraps and slice into 1 inch thick slices.

The muenster cheese is mild and buttery, and has a similiar taste to a mild monterey jack.  This is just a really fun variation on a traditional cheese fries recipe.  The combination of cumin and muenster gives it a totally different feel, but still gives you that warm comfort food feeling.

  • 2 tbsp. KooKoo Cumin Wing Sauce, to taste
  • 2 tbsp. Butter
  • 2 cups Munster Cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup milk
  • Salt and pepper (optional)

Directions:

  • Bake or fry your frozen French fries, according to package directions.
  • About 10 minutes before your fries are done, melt butter in medium sauce pan, over low heat.
  • When butter is melted, slowly stir in milk and then stir in KooKoo Cumin Wing sauce. Heat until a little more than warm, but not boiling.
  • Then add cheese and stir until melted and fully combined.
  • Once fries are done, place them on a plate and put cheese mixture on top.

Sorullitos with a Punch https://caribbeantrading.com/recipe/sorullitos-punch/ Thu, 07 Nov 2013 19:03:13 +0000 https://caribbeantrading.com/wholesale/?post_type=recipe&p=1960 These Sorullitos fritters are a common favorite recipe in Puerto Rico, and can often be found on restaurants’ appetizers menu.  They are simple and easy to make!  Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or for serving at a party.  They should be served immediately.

Ingredients Needed for Sorullitos:

  • 2 cups water
  • 1 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 1/2 c. yellow cornmeal
  • 5 tbsp. white sugar
  • 4 oz. cheese (optional)
  • 2 c. oil for deep frying
  • 1 c. ketchup
  • 1 c. mayonnaise
  • 1 sm. Clove of Garlic – crushed
  • Your Favorite Hot Sauce

Directions

  1. Combine the water and salt in a saucepan, and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, and stir in the cornmeal and sugar. Return to medium heat, and cook stirring constantly until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan. Remove from heat.  At this point, you can add in shredded cheese if you like.  Edam or Mild Cheddar cheese are good options, although different cheeses can be experimented with.
  2. Roll the cornmeal mixture into small fat sticks about 3 inches long
  3. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Carefully place some of the corn sticks into the oil so they are not crowded. Fry until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from hot oil, and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with the sauce.

To make the sauce:  In a medium bowl, mix together the ketchup, garlic and mayonnaise to make the dipping sauce. Add a dash of hot sauce to spice things up.  For those of you who like to pack a punch, we recommend one of Caribbean Trading Company’s hot pepper sauces: On the Plank Garlic Habañero Crushed Pepper Sauce 5 oz. (Mild), Scotch Bonnet Passion Punch Crushed Pepper Sauce, or Fire Roasted Habañero Garlic Infused Crushed Pepper Sauce 5 oz. (Hot)

Cilantro Dipping Sauce https://caribbeantrading.com/recipe/cilantro-dipping-sauce/ Fri, 25 Nov 2011 18:54:21 +0000 https://caribbeantrading.com/wholesale/?post_type=recipe&p=1779 This Cilantro dipping sauce is great to use as a dip, a dressing, and even a marinade!  It’s really good paired with corn chips or roasted potatoes.  It’s also great with pork and chicken.  One of our favorites is to grill up pork and chicken pinchos (shish kebobs) and pair it with this sauce on the side.  Try it with an array of vegetables –  cilantro has  a powerful flavor profile, it works best with light, mild vegetables such as zucchini, yellow squash, cucumber, beets and tomatoes. Or as a dressing on a leafy green salad. Basically, it’s just a great all-around sauce that you will find a million uses for – so you may want to double it.

Ingredients Needed for the Cilantro Dipping Sauce

One Step!

In a blender, puree cilantro leaves, reduced-fat mayonnaise, fresh lime juice, dark rum, and Caribbean Trading Company Lively Up Lime Jerk Seasoning
