Kona Coffee Kebabs Recipes

Steps:

• Set 4 bamboo skewers to soak in warm water. Preheat the broiler or compression grill for 10 minutes.
• For the sauce: Heat oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat and fry the garlic and ginger for 2 minutes to release flavorful oils. Add 1/4 cup of the wine, tamari, brown sugar, and Shanghai Spice Mix. Remove from the heat and add the peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• For the tuna kebabs: String 5 tuna pieces and 4 artichoke halves alternately on each bamboo skewer, starting and ending with tuna. Brush the kebabs with the sauce. Broil the kebabs for 3 minutes on each side or until the tuna is white throughout.
• Add the remaining wine to the rest of the sauce to thin it to a pouring consistency.
• Serve kebabs garnished with chopped cilantro or parsley on top.
• Note: To make Shanghai Ethmix:
• 7 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes 2 3/4 teaspoons ground ginger 2 3/4 teaspoons ground anise
• Grind to a fine powder.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Grind the Paniolo spice together with the coffee and salt (or the coffee with paprika, cumin, salt and pepper). Rub spice mixture over all the ribs. Place ribs in a heavy roasting pan and cook uncovered for 12 minutes, drain off excess fat.
• Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees F.
• Mix together water and Worcestershire sauce and pour around ribs. Cover pan tightly with foil and bake until tender, about 1 hour 45 minutes. Ribs may be prepared to this point a few days in advance.
• To prepare barbecue, light the Keawe wood and allow it to burn until coals are medium hot and spread out. Cook ribs 3 minutes on each side and dip or brush ribs in the sauce and cook slowly for another 5 to 6 minutes. Be careful not to burn the ribs.
• Warm a little Kona Coffee BBQ sauce to serve on the side. Serve with grilled corn and campfire potato salad or your favorite sides.
