hile rummaging through some papers around our desk, we ran across a few recipes from the Grillmasters 2006 Festival here a few months ago. There was a pamphlet from CaJohn’s cooking demonstration that we always meant to publish…but misplaced the flyer until now. Here are a few recipes for you, a la CaJohn:

CaJohns BBQ Baked Beans

1 32oz. can baked beans
Thick sliced bacon
1 cup CaJohns Spiced Rum Ancho BBQ sauce
1 tbsp. CaJohns Chipotle Grill Seasoning

Open the beans and place into a pot. Add the BBQ sauce and the Chipotle Grill seasoning. Stir well to combine the mixture. Add bacon and bring to a boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, and serve.

Dog On Good Slaw

16 oz. Shredded Cabbage and carrots
8 oz. jar of Dog On Good Mustard

Combine and let sit for 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Grilled Fusion Tacos

1.5 lbs. skirt steak
12 oz. PepperYaki Jalapeno Marinade
6 oz. can pineapple juice
fresh slice pineapple
1/2 lb. shredded manchego cheese
medium red onion - diced
minced cilantro
corn tortillas

Combine the marinade and pineapple juice in a bowl, and whisk well. Put the steak into a ziplock bag & cover with mixture. Place in refrigerator and marinate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).

Prepare a hot grill and remove steak from marinade and place on hot grill. Also place pineapple slices on grill to cook, but don’t let them burn. A nice char is what you want. Cook steak to desire doneness. Remove steak and let rest. Chop steak and pineapple into small pieces while slightly grilling tortillas above a reduced-heat or coller area of the grill top. Once you’ve turned the tortillas, sprinkle with cheese and melt slightly. Remove tortillas and make tacos. Forst steak, then a bit of pineapple, and garnish with onion and cilantro. Try using the Fruit & Pepper salsa as a topping (see below).

Fruit & Pepper Salsa

1/2 ripe melon, diced in fairly small pieces
3 varieties of seasonal fruit, diced
3 varieties of peppers (different colors), diced
1 cup cilantro, minced
1/2 cup Curry Fruit Pepper Sauce

Combine diced fruits and veggies in a large bowl, then toss lightly with the cilantro and pepper sauce. Makes a great addition to tacos or any other dish where you need a fruit salsa.
