Categories     main-dish

Time 9h10m

Yield about 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 pork tenderloins (1 to 1 1/2 pounds each)
1/2 bottle red wine
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
6 garlic cloves, peeled
Olive oil or vegetable oil for grilling
Guava Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
Papaya Salsa, recipe follows
12 ounces guava paste, cut into small cubes
1/4 cup red wine
1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups papaya, cubed into 1/2-inch squares
1 Hass avocado, cut into small pieces
2 tablespoons diagonally sliced scallions
1/4 cup lemon juice
Pinch sugar
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • Marinate the pork overnight in the wine, balsamic vinegar, and garlic.
  • Preheat the grill on high. When hot, brush the pork tenderloins with olive oil and sear each side for about a minute. Lower the heat to medium and cook, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes per side, brushing generously with the guava barbeque sauce at least twice.
  • Remove the pork tenderloins from the heat, glaze with another thick coat of the barbeque sauce, and let rest on a plate for at least 5 minutes. Then slice the tenderloins into 1-inch medallions. The pork should be served warm with a side of papaya salsa.
  • In a small saucepan, combine all the sauce ingredients. Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon until the guava paste dissolves and the ingredients combine to form a thick, syrupy sauce, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature. If not using immediately, refrigerate.
  • Combine all the ingredients together in a medium bowl. Toss, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve. Bring to room temperature before serving.

One of the best slathers for ribs and ham. Its exotic fruitiness goes well with chicken, turkey, duck and even game. Guava paste is much beloved by Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, and South Americans too!

Provided by Ingrid Hoffmann

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, chopped
8 ounces guava paste, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup light or dark brown sugar
2 whole star anise
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon dark rum
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra for greasing the baking dish
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1/4 cup lime juice (from about 2 limes), plus 2 limes cut into wedges, for serving
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 mangoes, peeled, fruit cut off seed and diced
1 red bell pepper, halved, seeded, and finely diced
1 green bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 yellow bell pepper, halved, seeded and finely diced
1 large red onion, halved and finely chopped
1 serrano chile, finely chopped, optional
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 whole side salmon (about 3 1/2 to 4 pounds)

Steps:

  • For the barbecue sauce:
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion, cooking until it's soft and a little brown around the edges, about 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the guava paste, tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, star anise, allspice, and curry powder. Simmer until the guava paste has melted, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Discard the star anise; transfer the mixture to your blender and puree. With the motor running add the lime juice and rum. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside, or refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.
  • For the salsa:
  • Whisk the olive oil, garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper together in a large bowl. Add the mangoes, peppers, red onions, chile, and cilantro and toss to coat. Add the beans and gently toss everything together.
  • For the salmon:
  • Heat your broiler to high. Line a large flameproof baking dish or rimmed flameproof baking sheet with a double layer of aluminum foil and grease the foil with some olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Place the salmon in the prepared baking dish and tuck about 2-inches of the tail end under the fish, so you have a somewhat uniform shape. Pour the barbecue sauce over the salmon and cook it under the broiler until the sauce caramelizes and chars around the edges and the salmon is firm and flakes easily, 8 to 12 minutes for rare (the salmon will still be pink in the middle) or 12 to 15 minutes for well done (the salmon will be cooked throughout).
  • Spread the salsa on the serving platter and carefully lift the salmon out of the baking dish and arrange it on top of the salsa (use 2 large spatulas to transfer it). Squeeze a few lime wedges over the fish and serve with additional lime wedges on the side.
