I love it when I can re-purpose ingredients from another meal. This is a one of those dishes that my mom would be proud of because you take leftover pulled pork from the refrigerator and give it a 360 twist! The spicy sauce even uses the same spices that were used to flavor the pulled pork, just in different increments. It's quick and tasty.
Simple seasoning allows for the natural flavor of the pork to come through in this recipe. It is great on it's own and doesn't need any sauces, but if you must, use your favorite BBQ, steak sauce or mustard. The pork roasts slow and sits in it's own juices, so it it pull-apart tender and very moist. This would be perfect for a picnic because it's made in a crock pot. This pork would also pair well with my Grilled Cole Slaw.
I was feeling adventurous when I took on this dish. My husband was hesitant trying scallops, so I figured if I wrapped them in bacon he would be a little less intimidated. This was successful! In addition to introducing my husband to new cuisine, I also learned more about scallops. You know the typical seashell that has the "scalloped" edges? Yep, that's where these meaty medallions come from. I never put two-and-two together.
I was inspired by something I saw on the Food Network and realized I had a HUGE head of cabbage in the refrigerator from my aunt and uncle; seriously, this head of cabbage was bigger than my head...about the size of a basketball. Whatever they did with their garden, they did it right because they had some great vegetables this year. When I think of coleslaw, I think of cabbage, carrots, and mayonnaise. I am not the biggest fan of mayonnaise so I generally try to avoid recipes that ask for it or I replace the mayonnaise with sour cream or (if I must) Miracle Whip. I also thought: Mayonnaise is popular on BLTs as well, so why not add bacon to this?
I remember going to Denny's with my parents when I was younger and my dad always ordered Shrimp Scampi; this dish is inspired by that. I tried to recreate the scampi base and then added a few twists to make it my own. I have a feeling he would approve of this recipe with two thumbs up. This one is for you papa!!
