Dreamland BBQ Spring Rolls
Yields 16 Rolls
1 Pack Spring Roll Wrappers
5 lbs. Dreamland Chopped Pork
1 White Onion, Large (finely diced)
6 Garlic Cloves (minced)
2 tbs. Fennel Seeds
3 tbs. Dried Rosemary
2 tbs. Black Pepper (ground)
2 c. Dreamland BBQ Sauce
5 tbs. Olive Oil
Heat 1 tbs. of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is tender. Add in the pork, fennel, rosemary, and pepper. Simmer for about 15 minutes, then let the pork sit without heat until it cools to room temperature.
To assemble rolls, place a spring roll wrapper on a clean working surface. Place one heaping Tbsp. of the pork filling on the wrapper (if using large wrappers, you will need more). Spread the filling lengthwise along the spring roll wrapper nearer the end closest to you. Fold the left and right sides of the wrapper over filling, then lift up the wide end nearest you and tuck overtop. Roll to the other end. Secure the roll by dipping your fingers in some water and wetting the end, “pasting” it shut.
To test if the oil is hot enough, dip one corner of a spring roll into the oil. If it begins to sizzle and cook, the oil is ready. If not, wait another 30 seconds to one minute and try again. Using tongs, place spring rolls in oil, allowing them to fry about 1 minute on each side. Spring rolls are done when they turn light to medium golden-brown. Place on paper towels to drain while you finish frying the rest.
Serve the rolls with warm Dreamland BBQ sauce for dipping sauce.
