Tamarind Glazed Ribs With Chayote And Mango Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F.
• Sprinkle the ribs with salt and pepper and place them meaty-side up on an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet or shallow baking dish. Roast for 30 minutes and then drain off any accumulated fat from the baking sheet. Turn the ribs over and increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F. Return them to the oven for an additional 30 minutes.
• While the ribs cook, make the glaze. Drain the aji panca and place it in a blender along with the tamarind paste, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, orange juice and garlic. Puree to make a thick paste, scraping the jar as necessary. Set aside 1/4 of the glaze for serving.
• After the ribs have cooked at 400 degrees F for 30 minutes, begin basting them with the glaze every 15 minutes until the ribs are tender, about 1 hour, turning the ribs meaty side up again after 30 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven, brush with the reserved glaze and serve.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, add the mayonnaise, buttermilk, 1 teaspoon of the salt, the agave, cumin, lime juice, zest and 4 to 5 turns pepper.
• Whisk to combine and set aside. In a medium bowl, add the chayote and the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, then toss to mix and place on a paper-towel-lined baking sheet for 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, add the drained chayote, carrots, onions, bell peppers and scallions. Pour the dressing over the vegetables and mix to combine. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to use.

Steps:

• For the ribs and rub: Tear two sheets of aluminum foil (large enough to fully wrap each rack of ribs) and place each on a rimmed baking sheet. Place a rack of ribs on top of each. Mix together the dark brown sugar, chili powder, curry powder, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne in a bowl. Reserve 1 tablespoon rub mixture. Evenly divide the remaining rub between the two racks of ribs and cover all surfaces of the fronts, backs and sides of each. Wrap tightly in the aluminum foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Bake the ribs 20 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 250 degrees F. Continue to cook until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• For the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and the reserved spice rub and saute an additional minute to allow the spices to bloom. Add the ketchup, chicken broth, dark brown sugar, tamarind paste, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder, and stir to combine. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and preheat the broiler to high.
• Remove the ribs from the foil and place them on the baking sheets. Spoon 3 tablespoons of the liquid that has gathered in the foil into the sauce and stir to combine. Brush the ribs generously with a few tablespoons of the sauce. Place under the broiler, rotating the baking sheet if necessary, until the sauce begins to brown and thicken, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat with the remaining ribs. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and brush with the sauce once again. Serve the ribs with additional sauce and the Slaw.
• For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, oil, vinegar, granulated sugar, ginger, salt, garlic and black pepper until emulsified.
• For the slaw: In a large salad bowl, combine the kale, cabbage, mango, bell pepper, scallions, chile, peanuts, cilantro and mint.
• Add the dressing to the slaw and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Ribs:
• Place ribs in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot. Add ginger, orange wedge, star anise, apple juice, salt, half of chiles, and 1/4 cup brown sugar. Pour in water just to cover pork and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat so liquid is at a very gentle simmer, partially cover pot, and braise, turning racks a few times, until meat is fork-tender and nearly (but not quite) falling off the bones, 1 1/2-2 hours. Chop remaining chiles while ribs are cooking and set aside.
• Carefully transfer ribs to a rimmed baking sheet and let cool. Cut between ribs to create 2-rib pieces.
• Meanwhile, crank up the heat under the Dutch oven to high and add ketchup, vinegar, tamarind concentrate, honey, remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, and reserved chopped chiles to braising liquid. Cook, stirring often, until glaze is thick enough to coat a spoon (it should be reduced to 1-1 1/2 cups), 30-45 minutes. Strain into a large measuring cup; discard solids. Let settle so oil rises to surface. Pour off oil into a small bowl; set aside.
• Salad and assembly:
• Prepare a grill for medium heat; oil grate. Working one at a time, dip ribs into glaze to coat. Grill ribs, turning several times, until glaze is lightly charred, about 5 minutes total. Transfer ribs to a platter; season with salt. Drizzle with remaining glaze and reserved oil.
• Toss cucumber, onion, chile, and lime juice in a medium bowl to combine; season with salt. Scatter salad over ribs and top with micro cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
• Do Ahead
• Ribs can be braised 1 day ahead. Let cool in liquid; cover and chill.

Steps:

• Season racks generously with salt and pepper. Combine oil and seasoning and mix well until a paste forms. Then brush racks with seasoning paste on both sides. On a hot grill or grill pan, cook ribs for 2 minutes on both sides. While ribs are cooking, combine ingredients for braising liquid in large mixing bowl. After ribs have cooked on both sides, place in roasting pan and cover with braising liquid, reserving 1 cup, strained. Cook in 375-degree oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• For the Glaze: In a medium saucepan, heat and cook, onion, garlic, and peppers for 3 minutes. Add vinegar and ancho chilies and reduce by half. Add pineapple and braising liquid. Cook for 10 minutes at medium heat and puree with stock blend until smooth. Remove ribs from oven and finish n a grill or grill pan, cook racks on one side for just a few minutes brushing the other side with the glaze. Repeat twice. Cut ribs off rack and serve.

Steps:

• The day before you want to eat the ribs, line a baking sheet with some heavy-duty aluminum foil, and set a cooling rack on the sheet. Wash the rib racks and then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels and place them on the rack.
• To make the dry rub: Set a small skillet (I used a cast iron one) over medium heat. Add the fennel seeds, cumin seeds and chile, if using. Toast the spices, shaking often, until the seeds darken a touch, release their aroma, and smoke ever so slightly. Pour the seeds and the chile into a pestle and mortar or a spice grinder and grind until fine (break the chile up with your hands first if using a spice grinder). Add the brown sugar, paprika and 2 tablespoons salt and stir to combine, smoothing out any lumps in the sugar.
• Sprinkle half of the rub over the ribs and massage into the meat evenly. Flip the ribs over and massage the remaining rub into the meat. Cover the ribs tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
• To make the glaze: In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, warm the peanut oil until shimmering. Add the peppercorns and cook for 30 seconds. Add the shallots, garlic and ginger. Cook until the shallots soften and turn slightly golden, about 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat off and add the whiskey. Turn the heat back on, and cook until the whiskey has mostly evaporated. Then add 1/2 cup of water, the tamarind, sweet soy and ketchup. Stir together, and reduce the heat until the mixture is at a simmer. Cook until the mixture has thickened slightly, about 10 minutes. Set aside until you're ready to use it.
• When you're ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pull the ribs out of the refrigerator and leave on the counter as the oven heats up. Then, remove the plastic wrap from the ribs. Roast the ribs until the meat is tender, about 1 1/2 hours, rotating the pan halfway through to ensure even cooking.
• Pull the ribs out of the oven and turn it up to 425 degrees F. Brush the tamarind sauce liberally on both sides of the rib racks, and return the ribs to the oven for about 10 more minutes. Brush with sauce one more time and serve with plenty of napkins!

Steps:

• Combine the papaya, mango, milk, and ice in a blender process just until smooth. Pour into glasses and garnish with mango and papaya slices.
