Mr. Hawthorne and I were out and about the other day
and decided to try out a restaurant
we haven't been to before - South Beach Grille
on the beach road in South Nags Head,
just north of Jennette's pier.
You can check out their menu here.

which was wrapped in romaine lettuce
and served with Jasmine rice
with scallions, a soy sauce, and a sesame ginger dipping sauce.
The chicken mixture included carrots, cucumbers, and cabbage.
A messy package, but quite delicioso.
This was light, flavorful, and tasty.
The beef mixture had red peppers and broccoli
and it was served with jasmine rice with scallions.
Wrapped in a real wrap, not lettuce.
The service was excellent and the waitress was quite helpful
when we asked her about what was in the sauces.

I'd be recreating the Southwestern Spring Rolls.
black beans (about 2 cups)
1 can corn, drained
1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies, drained
pepper jack cheese, grated
1 cup mayo
2 TB ketchup
4 TB BBQ sauce
juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
less than a teaspoon Stubb's Hickory Liquid Smoke
and ended up adding more ketchup and BBQ sauce than I started with.
Note: The recipe above is final with all the tweaks.
Like I've said, blend, mix, taste, adjust, season, re-season,
and add as you go along.
I mixed the mayo, BBQ sauce, ketchup, and lemon juice together,
tasted, and decided to add in some chopped red onion, chopped parsley,
and a tiny bit of Stubb's Hickory Liquid Smoke.
Mix well.
And remember, always, to taste as you go along.
Never crowd your frying pan -
it lowers the temperature of the oil and gives you greasy, oily food.
Fry for about a minute, until lightly browned.
Oh, these were so good.
Nothing like some other Southwestern eggrolls I've had before:
I think this is a landmark moment for Rosie. Perhaps it's the beginning of a new year that prompted the change. But I had to read through twice to make sure I wasn't wrong.
ReplyDeleteRosie liked EVERYTHING THEY ORDERED!! ;-)
Another one of your creations on my to make list for the coming year.
ReplyDeleteWell Kathy, my wrap was a bit too salty.
ReplyDeleteYou don't think I'm becoming soft in my old age do you?
If it will make you feel better, I'll go back and find fault with whatever I order.
