Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups

    (preferably Mexican)
  • 2 tbsp onion powder
  • 2 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup Spanish paprika (pimentón) preferably sweet or hot

For the mango slaw:

  • 1 head green cabbage, cored and quartered
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 ripe mangoes, peeled, seed
    removed, finely diced
  • 3 oz Cayman Jack Mango Margarita
  • 3 serrano chiles, sliced
  • 2 carrots, shaved with a vegetable
    peeler
  • 2 limes, juiced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sesame oil
  • 3 tbsp white Sesame seeds, toasted
  • 2 scallions, root removed, greens and whites, sliced into small rounds

Directions:

  1. Heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the cumin, coriander, fennel, and mustard seeds, along with the pieces of pasilla and ancho chiles. Toast them, stirring constantly, until it’s very aromatic and just begins to smoke, about 3 minutes.
  2. Dump the mixture onto a plate and let it cool to room temperature. Grind mixture into a fine powder using a spice or coffee grinder.
  3. Put the powder in a large bowl and add the oregano, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir them really well to combine.
  4. Store the reserved adobo in an airtight container or a resealable plastic bag in a cool, dark place for up to a month.
  5. Take the cut mango (one) and add to a bowl, combine with the Mango Cayman Jack and allow to macerate for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, drain the liquid and reserve mango for the slaw.
  6. Rub the tbsp of olive oil all over the tenderloin, then pat on the adobo. Set the tenderloin aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high or preheat the broiler.
  8. Generously season the pork with salt, then grill on all sides until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 145°F, about 15 to 20 minutes. Let the pork rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  9. While the pork is resting, mix together cabbage, olive oil, and salt in a bowl. Add the cabbage to a piping hot cast iron skillet and char on both flat edges of the cabbage quarters until slightly blackened. Remove from pan and let cool slightly. Then slice into small slaw-sized strips. Add to a bowl.
  10. With the charred cabbage already in the bowl, add in the remaining ingredients: one mango, serrano chiles, lime juice, sesame oil, sesame seeds, shaved carrots, cilantro, and scallions. Massage together until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and plate next to the sliced pork tenderloin. Enjoy with a Cayman Jack Mango Margarita.

SWEET HEAT GRILLED PINEAPPLE MARGARITA

PREMIUM MALT BEVERAGE WITH FLAVOURS

MARINATED MAHI SKEWERS
WITH CHIPOTLE AND HERBS

SERVES: 6 | PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES | COOK TIME: 15 MINUTES

INGREDIENTS:

For the garlic chipotle love sauce:

  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 12 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 3 tbsp of canned chipotle chiles in
    adobo sauce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Grated zest of 1 lime
  • 1 tsp salt

For the skewers:

  • 3lbs mahi mahi, cut into 1.5 in. cubes
  • 4 oz Sweet Heat Grilled Pineapple Margarita
  • 1 pineapple, cut into 1 in. cubes
  • 2 bunches of scallions, cut into 2 in. pieces, removing the root and the leafy greens

For the garnish:

  • 1/4 cup micro cilantro or cilantro

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Pour the canola oil into a heavy ovenproof medium saucepan and add the garlic. Cover the pot with foil, put it in
    the oven, and cook until the garlic turns a nutty brown and is really soft (think cream cheese), about 45 minutes. Remove the pot from the
    oven and let the garlic and oil cool to room temperature. Put the garlic and the now garlic-infused oil in a food processor or blender. Add the chipotles and sauce, cilantro, lime zest, and salt and puree until the mixture is very smooth. Store the remaining or reserved mixture for later use by placing in the fridge in a tightly covered container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to a month.
  2. Combine 1/2 cup of the garlic chipotle love sauce, the cubed mahi mahi, and the 4 oz of Sweet Heat Grilled Pineapple Cayman Jack Margarita into a bowl and delicately combine so the fish is well covered and let sit for 30 minutes covered.
  3. Remove fish from the bowl and reserve marinade. Begin to form the skewers, using 6 to 8 in wooden skewers, place one piece of fish, one
    piece of pineapple, one piece of scallion and repeat until two more times on the same skewer. Repeat this process for every skewer to form a total of 4 skewers.
  4. Lightly brush with the reserved marinade from the bowl.
  5. Using a grill plate or charcoal BBQ, cook the skewers until the fish is internally cooked to a temp of 145°F. Occasionally brush on more
    marinade. Let rest for 10 minutes. Discard the remaining marinade.
  6. Place finished skewers on a plate. Use the remaining garlic chipotle love sauce as a dipping sauce for the skewers. Garnish with micro
    cilantro. Enjoy with a nice cold Cayman Jack Pineapple Sweet Heat Margarita.
