Yield Makes 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 2-pound rack baby back pork ribs
1/4 cup canned chipotle chiles*
3/4 cup red currant jelly
5 tablespoons pomegranate molasses**
1/4 cup low-salt chicken broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with foil; place metal rack on sheet. Sprinkle ribs all over with salt and pepper; place, meat side down, on rack.
  • Press chiles through sieve into heavy small saucepan (discard solids in sieve). Add remaining ingredients to pan. Stir to blend over medium heat until sauce comes to boil. Season sauce to taste with salt. Transfer 1/2 cup sauce to small bowl and reserve.
  • Brush ribs with 2 tablespoons sauce from pan. Turn ribs over; brush with 2 tablespoons sauce. Roast ribs until very tender, brushing with 2 tablespoons sauce every 15 minutes, about 1 1/2 hours. Cut rack into individual ribs. Serve ribs with reserved sauce.
  • *Chipotle chiles canned in a spicy tomato sauce, often called adobo, are available at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Latin markets.
  • **Pomegranate molasses is a sweet-tart syrup made from reduced pomegranate juice. It can be found at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Middle Eastern markets.
  • To puree canned chipotle chiles:
  • Place chiles and adobo sauce in a small strainer set over a small bowl or saucepan. Because canned chipotles are soft, you can simply use a rubber spatula to mash them through the strainer into the bowl, leaving the skins and seeds behind.

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

SWEET AND SPICY RIBS WITH CILANTRO AND CUCUMBER



Sweet and Spicy Ribs With Cilantro and Cucumber image

These ribs are a treat to put together, since everything cooks in one pan until the sauce becomes a sticky glaze and the ribs turn soft and tender. Some roasted potatoes or a potato salad would do well here if you're serving this as part of a larger spread. Not to be confused with mango chutney, hot mango pickle is a traditional jarred condiment made by preserving mangoes and a variety of hot spices. It's used most commonly in South Asia, and provides the sour and spicy qualities that give these ribs that special oomph of flavor. You can find it in the international section of many supermarkets or in other specialty markets.

1 small jalapeño, finely chopped, seeds and all
1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters pomegranate juice
3/4 packed cup/30 grams roughly chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)
1/3 packed cup/75 grams light brown sugar
1/3 cup/75 grams hot mango pickle, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 tablespoons coriander seeds, roughly crushed using a mortar and pestle
2 1/4 pounds/1 kilogram baby back ribs (pork loin ribs), cut into 4 equal sections of about 4 ribs each, stabbed a few times on the bony side with a small sharp knife
12 ounces/340 grams shallots (about 4 large or 8 medium shallots), peeled and left whole or halved lengthwise if large
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 English cucumber (about 12 ounces/340 grams), halved lengthwise, deseeded, then very thinly sliced into half-moons
1/4 packed cup/10 grams roughly chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)
3 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit/150 degrees Celsius.
  • Prepare the ribs: Add the oil to a large skillet and heat over medium-high. Once hot, add the ginger and jalapeño and stir until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes.

  • Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon coriander seeds in a small skillet over medium-high. Toast until fragrant, shaking the pan occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl along with the cucumber, cilantro (fresh coriander), sour cream, lime juice, oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a good grind of pepper; toss everything together to combine.
  • Divide the ribs, shallots and cucumber salad among 4 plates, spooning some of the sauce over the ribs, and serve immediately.
