• Put the pork on a platter and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Add the olive oil and lime juice and turn to coat the pork with the marinade. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in the refrigerator.

Add the coconut milk, and sugar and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the lime juice and season with fish sauce, and salt and pepper. Cool to room temperature. Add cilantro stems and puree using an immersion blender or blender.
• Preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal grill. Blot some oil onto a thick square of paper towel and then carefully and quickly wipe the hot grates of the grill to make a non-stick surface. Put the pork on the grill and cook, turning to brown all sides, until crusty on the outside and almost cooked through but still slightly pink in the center, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes.
• To serve, slice the pork and add it to the bowl with the tomato salad. Pour over the chile-coconut sauce and toss it all together.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Spread the coconut out in a thin layer on a baking sheet and bake, shaking every now and then for even cooking, until lightly browned, about 10 minutes.

GRILLED PORK, TOMATO, FRISéE, AND BLACK BEAN SALAD WITH CHIPOTLE CITRUS DRESSING

Steps:

• Prepare grill
• Make dressing:
• Mince enough chipotles to measure 2 teaspoons. In a blender puree chipotles, chutney, citrus juices, and salt to taste until dressing is smooth. Dressing may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
• Cut enough corn from cobs to measure 1 cup. In a small saucepan boil corn in water to just cover until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. In a colander drain corn and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Pat corn dry and cut tomatoes and radishes into 1/4-inch dice. Vegetables may be prepared up to this point 4 hours ahead and chilled separately, covered.
• Pat pork dry and season with salt and pepper. Grill pork on a lightly oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it, until a thermometer inserted diagonally into center registers 155°F., 15 to 20 minutes. (Alternatively, pork may be grilled in a hot lightly oiled well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.) Let pork stand 5 minutes and thinly slice.

GRILLED SHRIMP SALAD WITH BLACK EYED PEAS AND CITRUS-CHILE VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• To prepare the black eyed peas: Place a 2-gallon stock pot over medium heat. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and add the garlic and green chile, saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the black eyed peas, ham hocks, bay leaves, and water. Simmer for 45 minutes until the beans are tender, stirring when you think about it. Wait until halfway through cooking to begin seasoning with salt and pepper. You want the flesh of the bean to break down a little bit so it can penetrate the inside. Drain the black eyed beans and shred the ham hocks; set them aside to cool.
• To prepare the vinaigrette: Puree the tomato, chipotle, sugar, citrus juices, and zest in a blender until smooth. Pour in 1/4 cup of olive oil and puree again until emulsified and slightly thickened.
• To prepare the shrimp: Put the butterflied shrimp in a glass bowl and add the ancho powder, lime juice, half of the cilantro, and a drizzle of olive oil; tossing to coat. Marinate for 15 minutes while heating up the grill. Place a large grill pan on 2 burners over medium-high heat or preheat an outdoor gas or charcoal barbecue and get it very hot. Brush the grates with oil to keep the shrimp from sticking. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and season with salt and pepper. Lay the shrimp on the hot grill and cook 4 minutes on each side until charred and firm.
• To serve: Combine the black eyed peas, shredded ham hock meat, green onions, tomatoes, jalapeno, and the remaining cilantro in a large salad bowl. Add the grilled shrimp and vinaigrette; toss the salad well to incorporate all the ingredients and season with salt and pepper.
• This homemade chili powder will add a smoky depth to chili and as a dry rub for steaks. Toast the ancho chile pieces over low heat in a dry skillet until fragrant, shaking the pan so they don't scorch. Put the chiles in a mini food processor and pulse to a powder. Add the remaining ingredients and buzz again to combine.
