I start with Manjaman Garlic 5 Spice and 3 lbs of pork roast.
Place the pork roast in to a crockpot. Add 2 tablespoons of garlic 5 spice, 3/4 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of liquid smoke in to the crockpot. I slow cook the pork with a little water, or beer, to keep the meat moist, until it falls a part. Shread the pork with a fork, and use the Hawaiian sweet rolls, topping it with a slaw and a little BBQ sauce. I used the Manjaman Sweet Mesquite and it was delicious!
I love to make pasta dishes. This is a simple recipe with big flavor.
I start the dish with 4 pints of colorful cherry tomatoes, and cut them in half. In a bowl, add the tomatoes, 1/2 cup of good olive oil, 20 julienned basil leaves, 1 tablespoon of Manjaman 5 garlic spice, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, about 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flake. Cover the bowl and let is sit. The longer the better, 2-3 hrs is good, but I have also let it sit for as little as 20 min and it tastes just as good. You just won't have all of the juice ready from the tomatoes.
When you are ready to eat, prepare 1 lb of angel hair pasta following the instructions on the box. Don't forget to add a big handful of salt to season your pasta. This is your only chance.
Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, pull about 1/2 cup of the cooking water from the pot and set aside. Combine the pasta with the tomatoes, and add some Parmesan cheese, to taste. If it is a little dry to your liking, add some of your cooking water.
