GRILLED HAM AND GOUDA CHEESE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS AND ROASTED TOMATO MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• Caramelized Onions:
• Heat the butter and oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, season with salt and pepper.
• Roasted Tomato Mayonnaise:
• 1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the tomato in a small dish or baking sheet, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the tomato is very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• 2. Put the mayonnaise, tomato, garlic and thyme in a food processor and process until smooth, season with salt and pepper. Scrape into a bowl.
• Sandwich:
• 1. Place 4 slices of the bread on a flat surface, divide half of the cheese among the slices. Top the cheese with 2 slices of prosciutto then top the proscuitto with some of the onions and the remaining cheese. Place the 4 remaining slices of bread on top to make four sandwiches. Butter the top of the bread using half of the butter.
• 2. Preheat a cast iron pan or cast iron griddle over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the pan, butter-side down (may need to do in batches) and cook until lightly golden brown. Spread the remaining butter on the bread facing up, then flip and continue cooking until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has melted. Serve with roasted tomato mayonnaise on the side.

SMOKED GOUDA MAC AND CHEESE WITH GREEN TOMATO CHOW CHOW AND SWEET TEA CHICKEN

Steps:

• For the chicken: Bring 16 cups of water to a boil in a large pot and drop in the tea bags. Boil 2 to 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar, garlic, thyme, onion, 1/4 cup salt and several grinds of pepper and return to a boil; cook for 10 minutes. Add the ice cubes to the marinade and refrigerate it until cold, about 1 hour. Add the chicken to the brine and marinate at least 12 hours.
• Heat enough oil to coat the bottom of a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Working in batches, remove the chicken from the brine, pat it dry, and add it, skin-side down, to the pan; reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the skin is golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; flip the chicken and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast reads 165 degrees F.
• Simmer the sweet tea over medium heat until it is reduced by half. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Set aside.
• For the chow chow: Working in batches, pulse the cabbage, onions, green tomatoes and roasted red peppers in a food processor until minced. Combine the minced vegetables with the sugar, vinegar, pickling salt, mustard seeds, turmeric and crushed red pepper in a large pot. Bring to a simmer and cook until the flavors are blended, about 10 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 5 hours.
• For the mac and cheese: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to incorporate, creating a blond (very light brown) roux. Add the heavy cream, milk, liquid smoke and white pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thickened and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the sauce reads 145 degrees F., 15 to 20 minutes. Slowly stir in the Gouda and Parmesan until melted. Stir in the thyme and season with salt and black pepper.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 7 minutes and drain. Immediately combine the pasta with 2 cups of the sauce in a large baking dish. (Reserve any remaining sauce for another use.) Top the pasta with some panko and bake until the bread crumbs turn golden, about 30 minutes.
• Divide the chicken among 8 plates, placing it skin-side up. Top the chicken with some chow chow and drizzle with the sweet tea reduction. Serve with a scoop of mac and cheese.
