Air Fryer Ribs With Collard Greens Food

AIR FRYER RIBS RECIPE (+VIDEO)

Steps:

• Remove the membrane: Peel off the silverskin from the back of the ribs.
• Cut the rack of pork ribs into 2-3 sections so that it can fit into your air fryer basket.
• Make the spice rub: In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper and cumin.
• Season the baby back ribs: Pat the ribs dry and rub the ribs on all sides with the spice rub.
• Cook the ribs in the air fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F/190°C for a few minutes. Once hot, place the ribs into the basket with the meat side down and cook for 15 minutes. (It's important to let the air fryer to heat up first to avoid the ribs from sticking to the basket.)
• Flip the ribs using kitchen tongs, and cook for 10 more minutes at 375°F/190°C.
• Make the BBQ sauce: While the ribs are cooking, you can add bbq sauce ingredients in a saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar and salt are completely dissolved.
• Brush with BBQ sauce: Remove the basket from the air fryer and brush generously with barbecue sauce on all sides.
• Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook for 3-5 more minutes at 400°F/200°C, or until the sauce has set and darkened slightly. (It may take more or less time based on the thickness or your ribs)
• Remove the ribs from the basket and let them rest for 5 minutes so that the juices can redistribute through the meat. Feel free to brush with more barbeque sauce if you like.

AIR FRYER BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• Remove membrane from back of ribs and dry ribs with a paper towel. Cut rack into 4 pieces. Mix olive oil and liquid smoke in a small bowl and rub on both sides of the ribs.

• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Place ribs bone-side down in the air fryer basket, making sure they are not touching; cook in batches if necessary.
• Cook for 15 minutes. Flip ribs over (meat-side down) and cook an additional 10 minutes. Remove ribs from air fryer and brush bone-side of ribs with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce. Place basket back in the air fryer and cook for 5 minutes. Flip ribs over, brush meat-side with remaining 1/2 cup BBQ sauce; cook an additional 5 minutes or until desired char is achieved.

AIR FRYER SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Whisk together 1 tablespoon salt, 2 tablespoons pepper and 1 teaspoon of the paprika in a large bowl until well combined. Add the ribs and toss to coat, pressing the seasoning into each rib.
• Preheat a 3.5-quart air fryer to 350 degrees F. Transfer the ribs to the fryer basket and cook until the ribs are tender and golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, cider vinegar, white vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire, hot sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons pepper, 3/4 cup water and the remaining 2 teaspoons paprika in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar is melted and the sauce is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cover and keep warm over low heat.
• Once the ribs are cooked, dip each one into the sauce, letting any excess run off. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side.

SMOKED RIB EYE WITH WHITE GRAVY, COLLARD GREENS AND GRITS SOUFFLE

Steps:

• For the rib eyes: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with wood chips, then top with a rack.
• Sprinkle all sides of the steaks liberally with salt and pepper. Place on the prepared rack, then tent with foil. Bake until the desired internal temperature, 115 degrees F for medium-rare, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the steaks dry, if needed. Rub the steaks with the oil on both sides, then sear the steaks on the first side for about 2 minutes. Flip the steaks and add the butter, thyme and garlic cloves to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, continue to cook the steaks, continuously basting with the melted butter, until seared on the second side, about 45 seconds. Sear the fat cap as well to crisp up, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the steaks from the skillet and loosely cover with foil. Set aside.
• For the white gravy: Without wiping out the skillet, add the onions and garlic and cook in the drippings over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to lightly brown, about 5 minutes.
• In a small bowl, combine the broth, milk, Worcestershire, molasses, lemon zest, cayenne and thyme. Gradually add to the skillet, stirring constantly, until well incorporated. Bring the mixture to a boil and let cook, stirring, until the mixture thickens. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and season to taste with salt. Serve with the Grits Souffle and Potlikker Greens.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Butter eight 6-ounce ramekins.
• Bring the milk, grits, salt and 3 cups water to a boil, stirring occasionally, in a large saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue boiling, stirring often, for 20 minutes. Add the butter and stir until melted. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the grits are soft, about 15 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Vigorously stir in the cheese and egg yolks. Cool to lukewarm, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. (The mixture needs to stay loose and not clump.) Gradually stir in another 1/2 cup water, as needed, to loosen up the grits.
• Whisk the egg whites in a large bowl until soft peaks form. Stir a third of the beaten whites into the grits mixture to loosen it. Fold in half of the remaining whites until incorporated, then fold in the remaining whites until only a few white streaks are left. Pour the mixture into the prepared ramekins and smooth the tops.
• Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Immediately top with more Cheddar and the chives. Serve hot or warm.
• In a large pot, combine the turkey, red pepper flakes, garlic, onion and 2 quarts water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the collards: Set aside 4 whole collard leaves. Working in batches on the remaining collards, hold the stems with one hand and the leaves with the other, folding up the leaves together like the wings on a butterfly. Pull the leaves down, leaving the stems clean. (If the leaves are really large, cut them down the center.) Working in batches, stack the leaves, then roll them like a cigar. Slice the rolls thinly.
• Add the sliced greens to the pot and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Pull the meat from the turkey leg, then discard the bone and return the meat to the pot along with the vinegar.
• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil and generously salt. Fill a large bowl with ice water. Add the reserved whole collard green leaves to the boiling water and boil until vibrant green, about 20 seconds. Remove with tongs, and immediately transfer to the ice water.
• Preheat the broiler and line a baking sheet with foil. Pat the whole leaves dry and lay on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush with the oil. Broil the leaves until lightly charred in spots, about 90 seconds. Stuff each leaf with collard greens and serve additional potlikker on the side in a ramekin.
