Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs image

They say that whoever makes the most delicious thing with the fewest number of ingredients wins, which was the idea that inspired these. The recipe reminded me just how delicious pork ribs are when we don't try to do too much to them. Plus, this has to be the easiest method I've ever shared for doing ribs.

Time 7h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 rack St. Louis-style pork spare ribs

Steps:

  • Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
  • Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
  • Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
  • Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Peel and cut potatoes into chunky chips or wedges, then sprinkle over our salt & pepper seasoning for a flavour-packed side dish or snack

Provided by Anna Glover

Categories     Side dish, Snack, Supper

Time 50m

Yield Serves 4 as a side

Number Of Ingredients 14

4-5 large floury potatoes
5 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp Sichuan peppercorns
1 onion, finely chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 green pepper, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 red chilli, finely sliced
½ tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 tsp caster sugar
1 tsp sea salt
½ tsp chilli flakes
3 spring onions, finely sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cut the potatoes into chunky chips or wedges. Tip into a pan, top up with cold water and bring to a boil. As soon as you see bubbles, simmer gently for 5 mins. Drain carefully and leave to steam dry.
  • Meanwhile, heat 4 tbsp of the oil in a shallow-lipped baking tray in the top of the oven. Transfer the parboiled chips to the tray, carefully coat in the hot oil and cook for 20-25 mins until golden and crisp, turning halfway through.
  • While the chips are cooking, toast the peppercorns in a wok or large frying pan for a few mins, then transfer to a pestle and mortar and crush. Heat the remaining in the pan and stir-fry the onion, peppers, garlic and chilli for 5-8 mins over a medium-high heat until the onions and garlic turn golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Mix the Chinese five-spice powder, sugar, salt, chilli flakes and ground peppercorns together. Tip the cooked chips into the pan with the veg and return to a medium heat. Toss to combine. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper mixture and the spring onions. Toss everything together for 1-2 mins until evenly coated, then serve straight away with another pinch of sea salt, if you like.

Tips:

  • For crispy fries, use russet potatoes, as they have a high starch content that crisps up well when fried.
  • Cut the potatoes into even-sized strips so that they cook evenly.
  • Soak the potato strips in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the fries from sticking together.
  • Dry the potato strips thoroughly before frying. This will help them to crisp up.
  • Use a large skillet or frying pan so that the potato strips have plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil to the correct temperature before adding the potato strips. The ideal temperature for frying is between 325°F and 350°F.
  • Fry the potato strips in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the potato strips until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the fries with salt and pepper immediately after cooking. This will help the seasonings to stick to the fries.
  • Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
