SPICY TAMARIND PORK RIBS WITH SCALLIONS AND PEANUTS



Spicy Tamarind Pork Ribs With Scallions and Peanuts image

This recipe balances richness with a tart sweetness, and features a two-part approach to cooking the meat that yields complex flavor. Pork spare ribs are marinated, covered and baked until just tender. They're then brushed with a glaze made with an invigorating combination of tamarind, ginger, nutmeg and scotch bonnet chile. You can finish the ribs in a hot oven or on the grill; the glaze caramelizes nicely either way. They are delightful as a finger food or as a main dish with practically any accompaniment, like this cool cucumber salad.

Time 4h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 racks baby back or spare ribs (about 2 1/2 pounds each)
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground cayenne
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
1/2 cup store-bought tamarind concentrate or purée
1 scotch bonnet chile, stemmed and chopped, or 2 tablespoons sambal oelek or other chile paste
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons grated ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lime zest (from about 2 limes)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup peanuts, crushed (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees. Spread the ribs out on a cutting board and pat dry with paper towels.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup brown sugar with the garlic powder, cayenne, pepper and 1 tablespoon salt. Rub both sides of each rack with the brown sugar mix. Wrap each rack in a double layer of foil and crimp along the edges to seal. Place on a baking sheet and cook until the meat is tender but not falling off the bone, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Allow to cool before unwrapping, being careful of rising steam. Remove the ribs from the foil packets and cut each rack into 4- to 6-rib portions.
  • While the ribs bake, add the remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar with the tamarind concentrate, chile or chile paste, honey, ginger and nutmeg to a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir to combine, bring to a slight simmer and cook until sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat, add the lime zest, season to taste with salt and allow to cool completely.
  • Finish the ribs on the grill (or proceed to Step 5 to finish the ribs in the oven): Heat a gas or charcoal grill to medium. Brush the ribs on both sides with a thin coat of the glaze. Place the ribs on the grill, turning often, until the glaze is sticky and charred in spots, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Finish the ribs in the oven: Line a baking sheet with foil and arrange the ribs, meat-side up. Brush the tops with glaze and broil until glaze is set and caramelized in spots, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Brush again with the glaze and transfer the ribs to a board. Slice into individual ribs. Transfer ribs to a platter and top with scallions and crushed peanuts.

Categories     main-dish

Time 7h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 36

2 racks baby back ribs (5 to 6 pounds total)
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, grated
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 cup ketchup
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup lightly-packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate paste
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Sweet and Spicy Kale Mango Slaw, recipe follows
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 clove garlic, grated
Freshly ground black pepper
5 cups shredded kale
3 cups shredded cabbage
1 mango, julienned
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 Thai red chile, thinly sliced (seeds and membranes removed if you like less spice)
3 tablespoons chopped roasted, salted peanuts
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves

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.

SWEET TEMPTATION RIBS: TAMARIND-GLAZED SPARE RIBS



Sweet Temptation Ribs: Tamarind-Glazed Spare Ribs image

Why "Sweet Temptation"? Well, the day that I came up with these ribs, Bren happened to be abstaining from pork. Normally, his willpower is strong but ribs happen to be a real source of weakness for him. He couldn't believe that the very first time I had made ribs at home would be on a day when he was abstaining from them. Later, as my friends and I chowed down on them, Bren couldn't even watch us gnaw on 'dem bones-he had to keep his eyes averted all the way through lunch!

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Time P1DT2h10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 (2-pounds) racks pork spare ribs
1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 chile de arbol, optional
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked peppercorns
1/2 cup minced shallots
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1/4 cup whiskey
2 tablespoons tamarind paste, such as Neera brand, see Cook's Note*
3 tablespoons sweet soy or kecap manis or stir together 11/2 tablespoons each ketchup and soy sauce, see Cook's Note*
2 tablespoons ketchup

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!

SPICY PORK RIBS



Spicy pork ribs image

Make these sticky pork ribs with ginger, chilli, garlic and XO, a wonderfully spicy seafood sauce. Serve with lime wedges - and plenty of kitchen paper

Provided by Sophie Godwin - Cookery writer

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tbsp vegetable oil
700g pork spare ribs
2 garlic cloves , sliced
thumb-sized piece ginger , sliced
4 spring onions , chopped
2 star anise
a few Sichuan peppercorns
3 tbsp XO sauce
3 tbsp malt vinegar
2 tbsp honey
500ml chicken stock
2 limes , 1 zested and 1 cut into wedges to serve
good pinch of chilli flakes

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Heat the oil over a high heat in a large flameproof roasting tin. Season the pork, then fry until browned in places - don't worry about the ribs getting evenly browned, you are just looking for a little colour as it will add lots of flavour to the dish.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients, except the lime zest and chilli, to the tin, stir, then arrange the ribs so they are in a single layer. Once the liquid has started to boil, transfer to the oven and roast for 1 hr, turning the ribs halfway.
  • Take the tin out of the oven and carefully put back on the hob over a medium heat. The liquid will have reduced considerably. Keep turning the ribs over to coat in the sauce - they are ready once they are all covered and glossy, around 10 mins. Scatter over the lime zest and chilli flakes and serve with lime wedges and plenty of kitchen paper.

GRILLED PORK RIBS WITH TAMARIND RECADO



Grilled Pork Ribs with Tamarind Recado image

Provided by Reed Hearon

Categories     Food Processor     Garlic     Marinate     Backyard BBQ     Pork Rib     Hot Pepper     Summer     Grill     Grill/Barbecue     Tamarind     Oregano

Yield Serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 slabs baby back pork ribs (about 1 pound each)
For 1/4 cup chipotle rub:
1/4 cup dried Mexican oregano*
1/4 cup corn oil
5 dried chipotle chiles*, stemmed, seeded, and deveined (wear rubber gloves)
5 ancho chiles*, seeded and deveined (wear rubber gloves)
25 garli cloves
1 1/2 cups coarse salt
1 1/2 cups Tamarind Recado
available at Mexican markets and some specialty produce markets
Accompaniment: Charred Tomato Mint Salsa

Steps:

  • Rub ribs with chipotle rub and put in large sealable plastic bags or a shallow baking dish large enough to hold ribs in one layer. (Marinate ribs, covered and chilled, at least 12 hours and up to 1 day.)
  • Add recado to ribs, turning them to coat well. (Marinate ribs, covered and chilled, at least 12 hours and up to 1 day.)
  • Prepare grill.
  • Remove ribs from marinade, letting excess marinade drip off, and reserve excess marinade. Grill ribs, bone sides down, on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, covered, until marinade sets and dries slightly, 10 to 15 minutes. Turn ribs and baste with some reserved marinade. Grill ribs, covered 10 minutes more. Grill ribs, uncovered, basting frequently with some reserved marinade, until crusty and browned on both sides, 10 to 20 minutes more. (Do not baste ribs with marinade during last 5 minutes of cooking.) Discard any unused marinade.
  • Cut meat into individual ribs and serve with salsa.
  • To make chipotle rub:
  • In a small heavy skillet dry-roast oregano over moderate heat, shaking skillet occasionally, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, and transfer to a small bowl. Cool oregano completely and in an electric coffee/spice grinder grind fine.
  • In a heavy skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and, using tongs, fry chiles, 1 to 2 at a time, turning them, until puffed and just beginning to brown, about 10 seconds. (Do not let chiles burn or rub will be bitter.) Transfer chiles as fried to paper towels to drain and cool until crisp.
  • Wearing rubber gloves, break chiles into pieces and in coffee/spice grinder grind fine in batches. In a food processor grind oregano and chiles with garlic and salt until mixture is a shaggy, saltlike consistency. If mixture seems moist, on a large baking sheet spread it into a thin, even layer and dry in middle of an oven set at lowest temperature until no longer moist, about 1 hour. Wearing rubber gloves, break up any lumps with your fingers. (Chipotle rub keeps in an airtight container, chilled, 6 months. Regrind rub before using.) Makes about 3 1/4 cups.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-coated in the marinade: The marinade is what gives the ribs their flavor, so make sure to coat them well. You can even let them marinate overnight for even more flavor.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone. You can cook them in a slow cooker, oven, or on the grill.
  • Baste the ribs frequently: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs, making them even more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Spicy Tamarind Pork Ribs with Scallions and Peppers is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ribs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is tangy and sweet. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
