Cardne Adovada Egg Rolls
Here's one that we did for Super Bowl this year.
Pork Roast
Garlic
Salt
Pepper
Honey/Molasses/Brown Sugar (This is for bitterness in your Red Chili, you can use any of these but not all)
Frozen Bueno Red Chile (If you don't have frozen, I can also tell you how to make Red Chile from scratch)
Egg Roll Wraps
Deep Frying Oil
Buy a decent cut of Pork Roast, whatever size you might need to provide adequate amounts of meat for your family/friends etc. Hand Rub salt and pepper on to meat and set Roast to bake on 200 degrees over nite. Allow to slow cook until Roast will fall apart.
Take your Frozen Red Chile and defrost. Once Chile is defrosted, put in a pan and add salt, pepper and whatever additional seasonings you may like. Cook over a medium flame until Red Chile is done. Once Chile is at a boil, add either Honey, Molasses or Brown Sugar to take away bitterness. Be sure to taste regularly. You do not want it too sweet, just enough to dull bitterness.
Once Roast is done, take a fork and simply shred the pork like you would for pulled pork. Add the read chile to the pork until it is mixed all the way through.
Heat your oil in a pan or deep fryer. I use Olive Oil but you can use something else, if you prefer. You want the temp of the fryer to be hot enough to flash fry but not burn. Also, you don't want the oil too hot so that it simply soaks into your food.
Take Egg Roll Wraps (you can buy these in most Grocery Stores) and lay them out flat on flour or use wax paper. Spoon in the Red Chile Pork (Adovada), you can file your wraps as thick or thin as you like. The Wraps are square so you want to fold over, then fold the ends over and then simply roll up into the shape of an Egg Roll. You want to just slightly wet the end of the Egg Roll Wrap (wet the end that is face up, not the end face down) with water so that it sticks when you finish rolling your Egg Roll.
Once you have finished rolling up your egg roles, as many as you would like, and after you have brought your oil up to temp, 375 degrees or so, depending on how many egg rolls you are frying (the more egg rolls, the lower the oil temperature drops, adjust temp accordingly) fry until golden brown. Flip Egg Roles as necessary in order to make sure you don't burn on one side. Be sure to drain off oil in frying pan or Deep Fryer. This will prevent your Egg Rolls from being too greasy. Allow Egg Rolls to cool slightly on paper towels but don't cover. This will make them soggy rather then the desired Golden Crispy Brown. Once you set them aside, you may wish to lightly sprinkle with salt.
You can use this recipe with a lot of stuff. You can use BBQ, you can use beef with Green Chile or you can just make good old Egg Rolls. It's great for anything. Heck, they also make great Breakfast Treats if you want to use Scrambled Eggs mixed with cheese and bacon or Sausage.
You can also reheat them in the oven or in a toaster oven.
These are great for parties or if your just sitting around watching a game. Try this and let me know how it works for you.
