Best 2 Spicy Tamarind Pork Ribs With Scallions And Peanuts Recipes

STICKY TAMARIND RIBS WITH SWEET AND SPICY KALE MANGO SLAW

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.

SPICY PORK RIBS WITH GARLIC AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Season ribs with salt and pepper and place in large, flame-proof roasting pan. Pour tomatoes over ribs and scatter basil on top.
• In skillet over medium-high heat, saute bacon until slightly crisp, about 4 minutes.
• Add half the garlic and all the onions and cook until browned, about 7 minutes.
• Pour in wine and let mixture simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.
• Pour onion mixture over ribs, cover pan tightly with foil, and bake until meat is literally falling off the bone, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer ribs but not sauce to a plate.
• Just before serving, in skillet over high heat, warm oil. Add remaining garlic and saute until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
• Add vinegar and red pepper flakes and bring back to simmer. Pour garlic mixture into pan with sauce from the ribs, place it over high heat, and let it reduce by about a third, about 10 minutes.
• Add ribs to pan and toss them around to coat them in sauce and reheat them. Serve them hot, garnished with more basil, if desired.
