Time 3h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1500 g pork baby back ribs
1/2 tablespoon sea salt
1/2 tablespoon black pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup hot ketchup
2 tablespoons demerara sugar
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil

100 ml balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon ground caraway seed
1 kabocha squash
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon sea salt

Steps:

  • Place the ribs meat side down on a cutting board. Locate the thin membrane covering the rack. This membrane can be tough when cooked. To remove, use a knife to gently slide under the membrane then using your fingers, pull the membrane away from the bones. If slippery or difficult to remove, use a kitchen towel to take hold of it and pull.
  • Season both sides of the ribs with salt and pepper then place into a large roasting pan. Sprinkle with sunflower oil. Cover with two sheets of aluminum foil and roast in the oven at 150°C for 3 - 4 hours, until the meat falls easily from the bones.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven, discard the aluminum foil and generously brush both sides with the sauce. Return the ribs to oven and turn the heat to 220°C and bake the ribs for 10-15 minutes, just until the sauce begins to caramelize.
  • Sweet and spicy sauce:.
  • Sauté onions in olive oil until translucent over medium heat. Add the cumin and stir.
  • Add the ketchup, brown sugar and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine, cook for 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Braised red cabbage with apples:.
  • Sauté onion in olive oil for 3 minutes.
  • In the meantime cut apple quarters into slices.
  • Add red cabbage, apple slices, ground caraway and balsamic vinegar, stir, cover the pan and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes or until cabbage is tender.
  • Serve as a side to meat dishes.
  • Roasted Kabocha squash:.
  • Wash the pumpkin, remove the stem from the top and hardened part at the bottom, remove the seeds and cut into medium thick slices.
  • Place the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, season with salt and sprinkle with olive oil. Bake in the oven at 200°C for about 30 minutes, until the skin is soft and meat is slightly.

SWEET-AND-SPICY BABY BACK RIBS



Sweet-and-Spicy Baby Back Ribs image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)
3 1-pound racks baby back pork ribs
Juice of 1 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup lager-style beer
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
1 cup Thai sweet chile sauce (such as Mae Ploy)
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Put the ribs meat-side down on a cutting board. Insert a paring knife between the membrane and the bones on one end of each rack, then loosen the membrane and pull it off. Rub the ribs with the lemon juice and sprinkle evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Place the ribs bone-side down in a large roasting pan, then add the beer. Cover tightly with foil, transfer to the oven and roast until the meat pulls away from the bone, about 1 hour.
  • Meanwhile, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chile sauce, brown sugar, vinegar and 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, about 40 minutes. Remove the ribs from the oven; increase the temperature to 400 degrees F. Uncover the pan; carefully pour out the cooking liquid. Stir 1/4 cup cooking liquid into the sauce, then discard the rest of the liquid. Generously brush the ribs with the sauce. Return the pan to the oven and continue roasting, uncovered, until the ribs are golden brown and tender, about 35 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and slice, then return to the roasting pan. Pour the remaining sauce on top and toss. Photograph by Anna Williams

CUMIN SCENTED OVEN-BAKED RIBS WITH SWEET AND TANGY BBQ SAUCE



Cumin Scented Oven-Baked Ribs with Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce image

Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chile powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 racks (4 to 5 pounds each) pork spareribs
1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, grated

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil, enough to fold over the ribs, approximately twice the size of the baking sheet.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, paprika, salt, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder and cinnamon. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the rub and set aside.
  • Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet. Generously sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the spice mixture. Really rub it in! Place the ribs meat-side down and fold the foil tightly around the ribs to make a sealed packet. Bake the ribs until they become pliable but not falling apart, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. You know the ribs are done when the meat pulls away from the bone. Once the ribs are tender, carefully pour off 1/2 cup of the accumulated juices into a bowl and reserve. Keep the ribs wrapped in the foil to keep warm.
  • For the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the tomato puree, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, reserved rub and the garlic. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking juices and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Just before serving, slather the ribs with the tangy BBQ sauce and char them on the grill pan, basting them with the sauce and turning as they char up. (If you don't have a grill pan, you can slather them with sauce and stick them under the broiler to char.) Serve the ribs with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Ribs: Select high-quality pork ribs for the best results. Look for ribs with good marbling and a nice pink color.
  • Properly Trim the Ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender and flavorful meat. Use a sharp knife to carefully score the ribs between the bones.
  • Create a Flavorful Rub: Combine spices, herbs, and seasonings to create a flavorful rub that will enhance the taste of the ribs. Experiment with different ingredients to find your perfect combination.
  • Slow and Low Cooking: Bake the ribs at a low temperature for an extended period to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness. This allows the meat to cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the rub and sauce.
  • Baste Regularly: Basting the ribs with the sauce during the cooking process helps keep them moist and adds an extra layer of flavor. Use a silicone brush to apply the sauce evenly.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the ribs to ensure they have reached the desired internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 165°F (74°C) for medium.
