Honey Red Pepper Glazed Back Ribs Food

SPICED HONEY-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚ and set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Put the cumin and coriander seeds in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a heavy skillet. Transfer to a bowl and add the brown sugar, paprika and red pepper flakes. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper, rub all over with the vegetable oil, then rub all over with the spice mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer the ribs meat-side up to the rack.
• Stir together the honey and vinegar in a small bowl. Bake the ribs, rotating the baking sheet after 45 minutes, until well browned, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Brush half of the honey mixture on both sides of the ribs and bake 15 more minutes, then brush with the remaining honey mixture and continue baking until the ribs are deeply browned and tender, about 15 more minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let cool slightly before carving.

HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZED RIBS IN OVEN AND BROILER

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar and brown sugar in a small saucepan over high heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and mixture reduces slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the honey and mustard and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• Brush the pork racks on both sides with canola oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the soy sauce, 4 cups of water and the ginger and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture into the bottom of a roasting pan, fitted with a rack, and arrange the ribs on the rack. Wrap the pan with foil and roast until the ribs are tender, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and transfer to baking sheets lined with foil or parchment paper. Turn on the broiler and let heat for 3 to 5 minutes. Brush the ribs heavily on the top side with some of the glaze, put under the broiler and broil until golden brown and a crust has formed. Remove from the oven to a cutting board and brush with more of the glaze. Let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Arrange the ribs on a serving platter and serve.

HONEY RED PEPPER GLAZED BACK RIBS

Steps:

• About one hour before smoking, coat both sides of ribs with a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with Chinese 5 spice. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 230 to 250 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients in small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with honey red pepper glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.

HONEY SOY SHORT RIBS WITH SPICY PEANUT GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a Dutch oven on high heat sear the short ribs until browned then add soy sauce, hoisin, vinegar, garlic, ginger, 1/2 cup honey, water, green onion, crushed red pepper, and 2 tablespoons of the coconut or orange juice.
• Braise the ribs covered, for about 3 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling off the bones. Remove the short ribs from the braising liquid and cover to keep warm. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees.
• Drain the fat off of the cooking liquid and discard. In a bowl add the peanut butter and place into the microwave for 30 seconds to soften, add the hot sauce, honey and stir.
• Spread a thin layer of the peanut butter and honey mixture over the top of the rib and then coat with the crushed peanuts.
• Bake the peanut crusted ribs for another 10 minutes, until the short ribs are heated through and glazed. Serve over rice and pour a small ladle of the braising liquid on top of the ribs. Garnish with scallions.

• Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add remaining 3 teaspoons cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes. Toast lightly until fragrant, about 30 seconds; add remaining 6 minced garlic cloves and white and pale-green scallions. Sauté until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, orange juice, and honey. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is thick, 12-15 minutes.
