SAN JUAN RODEO MIX BBQ CHICKEN RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
1 CUT UP WHOLE CHICKEN
(or boneless or bone in halves of chicken breast, chicken thighs, wings or any cut of your choice)
*4 TBLS. SAN JUAN RODEO MIX (or to taste)
*1/2 to 1 bottle CHEAP RED WINE*
*1/2 to 1 cube BUTTER
DEEP POT WITH LID (for steaming)
*All these measurements depend on how much chicken you are cooking.
The original recipe was created to feed hundreds of people so you will have to tweak it to meet your own needs.
*The original recipe called for white wine but that recipe was changed to red wine sometime in the 1960's.*

PREPARATION
Once grill is hot, clean and coat grill lightly with oil. Place chicken on grill. In a separate sauce pan combine San Juan Rodeo Mix, Red Wine and Butter, heat to simmer.
As chicken is browning, sprinkle San Juan Rodeo Mix seasoning on both sides while chicken cooks. Each time the chicken is turned over on the grill, sprinkle on more Rodeo Mix seasoning to taste.
Once the chicken is done (internal temperature of 165 degrees), baste chicken with red wine mixture, sprinkle with a little more dry seasoning, then place chicken in a tightly sealed metal container like a dutch oven or deep covered stainless steel pot and baste chicken liberally with mixture again. Steam for at least 20 minutes, the longer the better. Serve with beans and garlic bread for a traditional "Fiesta Rodeo Chicken Dinner"!
EGGPLANT PARMESAN
EGGPLANT PARMIGIANA ITALIAN, NONNA-STYLE (from Epoch Times BY Giulia Scarpaleggia)
Serves 8
4 medium eggplants (about 3 1/2 pounds total)
2 tablespoons coarse sea salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil, for frying
Extra-virgin olive oil
*1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons tomato passata (or canned whole tomatoes, crushed and passed through a food mill or sieve)
1/2 cup water
A handful of basil leaves
5 ounces fresh mozzarella, cubed
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Prepare the eggplants: Rinse the eggplants and slice them lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Arrange the eggplant slices in a colander, with a generous sprinkle of coarse sea salt between the layers. Put a plate on top of the eggplants, then place a weight over the plate. Leave the eggplants in the sink for about 30 minutes. Then, rinse the eggplants under running water, arrange on a towel and pat dry. This will reduce their bitterness.
Scoop the flour into a shallow bowl and coat the eggplant slices, shaking off the excess flour from each slice.
Meanwhile, heat a few inches of frying oil in a large pan. Check if the temperature is right by dipping the handle of a wooden spoon in it: If it’s immediately surrounded by tiny bubbles, the oil is ready for frying. Working in batches, to not crowd the pan, deep-fry the eggplant slices. Let them brown on both sides; it will take about 5 minutes per side. W hen the eggplants are golden and crisp, fish them out of the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain the excess oil.
Make the tomato sauce: In a saucepan, heat a few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil with the crushed clove of garlic. When the garlic turns golden, pour in the tomato purée, water, and some fresh basil leaves, then season with a pinch of salt. Cook the tomato purée for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until glossy and thick.
Finally, assemble the eggplant parmigiana: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In an 8-by-12-inch baking dish, spread a few tablespoons of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange a layer of fried eggplant slices on top, pour over about 1/4 of the beaten eggs, and top with mozzarella and a generous sprinkling of grated Parmigiano. Spread the tomato sauce on top, and keep making layers until you run out of ingredients. You should be able to make four layers. Finally, top with tomato sauce, a few pieces of mozzarella, and a generous sprinkling of Parmigiano. Bake in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, until golden brown on top. Serve the parmigiana warm or, even better, let it cool down completely and reheat it in the evening or the next day. It’ll be even tastier
* if you don’t have fresh garlic you can always use dehydrated minced
garlic from Garlic Capital Products® Just put desired amount of dehydrated minced into water and it will soften back to it’s original state.

GARLIC LEMON PEPPER SWORDFISH
GARLIC LEMON PEPPER SEASONING
This swordfish was purchased at Rocca's Market Located in San Martin in the Garlic Capital of California. They always have the finest and freshest seafood in the region. It's been patted dry and then seasoned on both sides with our delicious Garlic Lemon Pepper. In a heavy saucepan we combined 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. When the butter starts to melt add the Swordfish. I like to flip it over immediately so that both sides have plenty of butter and oil to finish cooking. We usually cook our swordfish about 3 minutes per side but that will vary depending on the size of the fish and how you prefer it. The Garlic Lemon Pepper not only gives the fish a fresh, lemon flavor with a hint of garlic and a lot of cracked pepper but the citrus keeps it so moist you will feel like a professional chef in your own kitchen!

SPICY GARLIC LEMON PEPPER BBQ PORK RIBS
GARLIC LEMON PEPPER
For mouthwatering-ly juicy, tender and oh so flavorful barbecue Ribs start with the following:
Louisiana or your favorite style Ribs
Vegetable or Olive Oil
Garlic Capital Garlic Lemon Pepper
Dried Chili Flakes
1/2 cup beer or water
Butter
Heat grill. Dry ribs with a towel and then rub both sides with oil. In a small dish combine Garlic Lemon Pepper and chili flakes. The amount you use of each will depend on the amount of ribs you are cooking and the amount of spicy hot flavor you want to add. For the ribs pictured here I used about
3 tablespoons of Garlic Lemon Pepper to 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes.
We like it hot so that may be a little heavy on the chili for some of you.
Mix together and apply to both sides of the pork.
Place them on a very hot grill and brown on both sides. While they are browning, preheat oven to 325 degrees to finish cooking ribs. Once they are browned on the grill transfer to 2 pieces foil or one piece large enough to fold tightly all around. Add liquid (beer or water), baste with melted butter and seal tightly. Cook until bones are easily separated from the meat. Approximately 35-45 minutes but it's hard to over cook ribs so let them steam as long as they have liquid if you want them falling off the bone!
GARLIC CAPITAL STREET TACOS
SOUTH OF THE BORDER SEASONING MIX
INGREDIENTS
1 lb. Halibut (or you can use whatever fish you choose)
1 tsp. cooking oil
SOUTH OF THE BORDER MIX SEASONING (some like it hotter then others so use to your own taste)
1/2 small head green cabbage
1/2 small head purple cabbage
1/2 red onion
3 medium size jalapeno peppers
1 cup mayonnaise
Juice of 2 lemons or 3 limes
5 corn tortillas or 6 soft flour tortillas
Fish may be grilled on the barbecue or in the kitchen. You could even bake it with the same method but the traditional way for tacos is grilled.
Pat fish dry and lightly coat with oil. Apply SOUTH OF THE BORDER MIX seasoning lightly if your preference is less spicy and heavy if you like it hot. Keep refrigerated while you prepare the slaw.
Slice the cabbage very thinly and chop. Coarsely chop red onion and add to cabbage. Slice Jalapenos in half, clean out ribs and seeds and slice halves thinly then add to mixture.
Combine Mayonnaise and lemon/lime juice and whisk or stir. Pour over mixture of cabbage and other ingredients and combine well. You can add more mayonnaise if you think it's too dry.
Cook fish on grill and keep an eye on it as it can cook quickly. Fish is done when it flakes easily.
Fill bottom of tortilla with fish meat and top with Mexican Slaw.
Toppings are very important to enjoy a fish taco to it's fullest. Some favorites are Pico De Gallo, Crema, Cilantro and Hot Sauce. Don't be afraid to experiment with any and all toppings that suit your taste buds.
ENJOY!
