Ingredients:

• 1 package (12 rolls) Hawaiian sweet rolls
• 8 ounces sliced sharp provolone
• 3/4 pounds roast beef as rare as possible
• 1 cup jarred deli-sliced pepperoncini 
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 3 Tbs Terrapin Ridge Farms Onion Blossom Horseradish
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons poppy seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic

Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Butter or lightly grease the bottom of a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Without separating into individual rolls, slice the top half of the bread off the bottom. Spread 1-2 Tbs Terrapin Ridge Farms Onion Blossom Horseradish Dip on open face of the bottom half of the bread. Place the bottom portion of the rolls in the prepared baking dish. Layer half of the cheese on top of the bottom rolls. Next layer all the roast beef on top. Add the pepperocini on top. Finally, layer the last half of the cheese on top. Place the top section of rolls on top of everything. In a small bowl, combine the completely melted and slightly cooled butter, poppy seeds, minced garlic. Season to taste if desired. Whisk to combine. Using a pastry brush, liberally brush the butter mixture over the tops and sides of the rolls until well coated.Some of the butter mixture will pool at the bottom of the pan which is fine -- this will help season the bottom section of rolls! Bake, covered with foil, for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is gooey/melty and tops of rolls are slightly crispy (watch carefully). Remove, cut apart with a serrated knife, and serve while hot!

Double Smash Burger with Balsamic Onion Jam

Ingredients:

• ½ cup Terrapin Ridge Farms’ Balsamic Onion Jam
• 4 squishy buns (preferably potato or brioche)—split, buttered, and toasted
• Iceberg lettuce and dill pickle chips, for topping
• 1½ pounds ground beef (preferably 75/25), divided into eight 3-ounce balls
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 8 slices American cheese, or choice of cheese
• ½ cup Mayo

Directions:

These burgers cook quickly, so make sure your buns are toasted and ready to go. Smear some mayo on each toasted bottom bun and top with iceberg lettuce and a few pickle chips. Set aside. Preheat a large dry stainless steel skillet or flat top over high heat for 2 minutes. Alternatively, you can use a cast iron skillet. Working in batches, place two balls of ground beef in the skillet and press firmly with the bottom of a saucepan or a large heavy spatula until they are very thin and slightly wider than your bun. Season generously with salt and pepper. Be careful not to crowd the pan. Cook the patties until they are well browned and the tops are beginning to turn pale pink/gray in spots, about 1 minute. Using a bench scraper or a heavy metal spatula, carefully scrape the patties from the pan, making sure to get all of the browned bits. Flip and immediately top each patty with a slice of cheese and stack one patty on top of the other. Transfer to a large plate and cover loosely with foil. Keep warm while you prepare the other burgers. Arrange the smashed burgers on top of the prepared buns. Top each burger with a hefty spoonful of Balsamic Onion Jam and close your burgers.

• 1 Tablespoon dry mustard
• 1 Tablespoon paprika
• Kosher salt and pepper
• ¾ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Oil for the grill

Directions:

In a small bowl, mix the spices with 1½ tablespoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Generously season the ribs all over with spice rub. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 300°F. Transfer the ribs to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish meat side up—they should fit snugly. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until tender but not falling apart, 2 to 3 hours. Keep covered with foil and let rest for at least 1 hour. At this point, the ribs can be refrigerated if you’re making them in advance. See the make ahead note below. Heat a grill to HIGH (450°F) and oil the grate. Unwrap the ribs and pour ½ cup of the accumulated juices into a 2-cup measuring cup. Alternatively, you can use store-bought beef or chicken stock. Whisk the Hot Pepper Bacon sauce into the juices. Grill the short ribs, basting with the sauce and turning frequently, until lacquered and charred in places and heated through, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for at least 10 minutes. Cut between the ribs to separate. Transfer to a platter and serve with any remaining sauce, mac-and-cheese, coleslaw, rolls, and pickles, if desired.

Mini Fried Chicken and Waffle Sandwiches with Apple Maple Bacon Jam

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Apple Maple Bacon Jam
• 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs (about 5 thighs)
• 1½ cups buttermilk
• 2 Tablespoons hot sauce, plus more for serving
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• Canola or vegetable oil for frying
• 50 mini waffles, toasted
• 9 slices thick-cut cooked bacon (about ¾ pound), cut into thirds

Directions:

Using a sharp knife, cut the chicken into 1½-inch pieces (a little larger than your mini waffle). You should have about 25 pieces of chicken. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk with the hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of pepper. Add the chicken, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight. Set a cooling rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. In a large bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper. Working with a few pieces of chicken at a time, remove the chicken from the buttermilk soak, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing so it adheres all over. Transfer the coated chicken to the prepared rack and let stand for 30 minutes (this will help the breading stick). In a large Dutch oven, heat 3 inches of oil to 350°F and set a cooling rack inside a separate rimmed baking sheet (or line with paper towels). Fry the chicken in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pot, and allowing the oil to return to temperature before adding the next batch. Fry for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy and golden brown. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain. In a large heatproof bowl, microwave the jam plus 2 tablespoons of water for 1 to 2 minutes, or until it is smooth and pourable. Add the fried chicken and toss to coat. Assemble your fried chicken and waffles by layering a mini waffle, a small piece of the bacon, a piece of fried chicken and finishing with a mini waffle. Secure with a toothpick and transfer to a plate. Serve right away with hot sauce on the side.

Brie & Prosciutto Crostini with Balsamic Onion Jam

• One large baguette, sliced
• ½ inch thick on the bias
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

• ¼-inch thick and cut into 2-to 3-inch lengths
• 4 to 6 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
• 1 cup Terrapin Ridge Farms Balsamic Onion Jam
• Fresh rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Directions:

Bake, flipping once, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove the crostini from the oven and turn the broiler on to HIGH. Top each crostini with a slice of brie. One baking sheet at a time, place the crostini under the broiler and broil until the cheese is melty and the crostini is beginning to brown around the edges, about 1 minute. (Do not step away from your oven—this process will happen quickly!) Remove from the oven and repeat with the second baking sheet of crostini. Top each crostini with a small ribbon of prosciutto and a dollop of the Balsamic Onion Jam. Transfer to large plates or a platter. Drizzle with olive oil and garnish with fresh rosemary leaves. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, if desired, and serve right away.
