POBOY RECIPES RECIPES

Steps:

• MAKE 20 evenly spaced small cuts, about 1 ½ inches deep, all over pot roast, using the tip of a sharp paring knife. Insert garlic cloves as deep into the cuts as possible. SEASON the roast on all sides with salt and pepper. HEAT a 6-quart Dutch oven over high heat. Add oil, and when it is hot, sear the roast until it is very well browned on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side (don’t be afraid to let the roast get very brown – this is where a lot of the flavor comes from). TRANSFER roast to a slow cooker, then carefully add stock and close lid. Set slow cooker to high and cook for 4 hours (and up to 6 hours depending on your machine). When roast is done, it should be fork tender. PULL meat apart into thin shreds, using two forks, and mix with accumulated drippings in bottom of pot. Allow meat to cool slightly and absorb juices before assembling poboys. (Roast can be cooked and shredded up to 1 week in advance and refrigerated until ready to serve; if prepared in advance, it will need to be rewarmed, covered and in a low oven, before assembling poboys.) PREHEAT broiler. HALVE each bread piece lengthwise and spread top and bottom halves liberally with mayonnaise. Place bottom halves on a baking sheet and spoon shredded meat over them, drizzling it with extra drippings. Top meat with cheese slices. BROIL bottom halves of bread with meat and cheese in oven just until cheese is melted, 2 to 3 minutes. REMOVE from oven. TOP with lettuce and tomato and sprinkle with hot sauce (if desired), add top halves of bread to each sandwich and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Drain the oysters and place in a small bowl. Cover with 1 cup milk and let soak for 15 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining milk, water, cayenne and eggs. Place the flour, cornmeal, black pepper, and salt into a brown paper bag, close and shake to mix.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour enough oil to fill the pan halfway. Heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil reaches 360 degrees F.
• Drain the oysters from the milk. In batches dip oysters in the egg mixture then drop in the paper bag. Close and shake. Remove to a plate and repeat with the rest of the oysters. When oil is at 360 degrees F, fry oysters in batches. Do not overcrowd. Cook turning once until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a paper towel. Repeat with remaining oysters.
• To serve, cut sandwich loaves in half horizontally. Slather a generous amount of Spicy Remoulade Sauce on the inside. Place a lettuce leaf inside and fill generously with oysters. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over oysters just before serving.
• Place all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth. Chill until ready to serve.
