Remember the dry rub is as important to good BBQ as the sauce. When creating a dry rub you want to add seasonings that will add to the complexity of the flavor without being overpowering. Marlowe’s BBQ sauce is sweet with subtle fruit undertones; this dry rub is spicy with a late burn. The 2 together combine with the smoke flavor of the meat to create 1 cohesive unit.
This recipe was provided by professional chefs and has been scaled down from a bulk recipe provided by a restaurant. The Food Network Kitchens chefs have not tested this recipe, in the proportions indicated, and therefore, we cannot make any representation as to the results.
Marlowe’s Black Magic:
2 cups onion powder
2 cups garlic powder
1 cup cayenne pepper
1/2 cup white pepper
1/2 cup black pepper
1 cup dried thyme
1 cup dried oregano
2 cups table salt
1 cup paprika
1 cup ground cumin
Blend well, cover and store.
Black Magic seasoning is an essential part of Southern cuisine and my kitchen is never without it. This seasoning adds extra kick as 1 of the components of Marlowe’s BBQ dry rub, but it is also fabulous by itself.
Try spicing up your chicken or fish by adding a liberal amount of this seasoning before grilling or pan-frying.
Yield: 12 cups
Ingredients
2 pounds thawed frozen or fresh cooked lobster meat
10 (8-inch) flour tortillas
2 pounds cream cheese
1 pound Cheddar, shredded
1 bunch scallions, chopped
1 roasted red onion, chopped
3 roasted plum tomatoes, chopped
4 tablespoons Sriracha (Thai hot sauce, available at most markets)
1 lime, juiced
2 tablespoons canola or olive oil
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. F. Cut onion and tomatoes in half and place on a baking sheet. Put into hot oven and roast for 15 minutes or until softened. Remove and let cool slightly and coarsely chop.
Combine all ingredients together in a mixer except for tortillas and lobster meat. On an 8 inch flour tortilla, spread 1/2 cup of the mixture and 3 ounces of lobster meat evenly on 1/2 of tortilla and fold over to create a half moon shape. Repeat with each tortilla.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add oil and pan-fry tortilla until brown and crispy, about 3 minutes per side. Cut into wedges and serve with salsa, guacamole and sour cream.

1 dried ancho chile
1 cup hot water
1 chopped garlic clove
1/8 cup honey
1 teaspoon kosher salt
About 12 semi-boneless quail (1 or 2 per person)
Directions
Soak ancho chile in 1 cup of hot water for 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high.

Ingredients
4 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups sugar, divided
1 tsp Almond Extract
1/2 cup water
8 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 1/2 cups milk
Ground cinnamon, optional
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the peaches, 1 cup sugar, and water in a saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Put the butter in a 3-quart baking dish and place in oven to melt.
Mix remaining 1 cup sugar, flour, and milk slowly to prevent clumping. Pour mixture over melted butter. Do not stir. Spoon fruit on top, gently pouring in syrup. Sprinkle top with ground cinnamon, if using. Batter will rise to top during baking. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes.
To serve, scoop onto a plate and serve with your choice of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream
BBQ Ham
INGREDIENTS
•1 fully cooked ham or half-ham
•1 to 2 cups apple juice or cider
•1 cup apple jelly
•2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
•1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon
•2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
•1/2 teaspoon ground clove
PREPARATION
When ready to cook, start the Traeger grill on Smoke with the lid open until the fire is established (4 to 5 minutes). Set the temperature to 350 degrees F and preheat, lid closed, for 10 to 15 minutes.
Arrange the ham on a rack in a roasting pan. Pour the apple juice or in the bottom of the pan. Place on the BBQ and close the lid. Timewise, allow 15 to 18 minutes per pound for a half-ham, and 10 to 15 minutes per pound for a whole ham.
Oven Roasted
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the apple jelly. Whisk in the mustard, bourbon, lemon juice, and ground clove and remove from the heat. Brush over the outside of the ham 40 to 50 minutes before you expect the ham to be done. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Reheat the remaining sauce and pass it separately at the table.
