Boeing allows judicious use of rudder in a nose high situation only as a last resort if aileron control is ineffective. This from 737 NG FCTM:
"Finally, if normal pitch control then roll control is ineffective, careful rudder input in the
direction of the desired roll may be required to induce a rolling maneuver for
recovery.
Only a small amount of rudder is needed. Too much rudder applied too quickly or
held too long may result in loss of lateral and directional control. Because of the
low energy condition, pilots should exercise caution when applying rudder."
Other than that STAY OFF THE RUDDER!
