BRAISED COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS WITH CHIPOTLE

Steps:

• Dry the ribs well, sprinkle all over with salt and allow to sit, refrigerated, for 1 to 2 1/2 hours.
• In a small bowl, combine cumin, coriander, chipotle pepper, black pepper, cayenne and cinnamon, and mix well. Dry the ribs well again and rub this mixture onto one side and the edges of the ribs, pressing to make sure it adheres. Heat oil over medium-high heat in a Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot until shimmering. In 2 batches, place the ribs in the pot, with the spice-rubbed side up, and brown the opposite side well, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove to a platter as browned.
• Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they just start to brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more.
• Move oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325 degrees. Return ribs to the pot and add the orange juice, lime juice and enough beer so that the liquid comes halfway up the sides of the ribs. Bring to a simmer, then cover, put in the oven, and cook until the ribs are very tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove the ribs from the pan, cover loosely with foil, and set aside. Continue to reduce the liquid if it is too thin, then adjust seasoning.
• Top each rib with a several tablespoons of sauce, sprinkle with cilantro and pomegranate seeds, if using, and serve.

CHIPOTLE-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, onion, garlic, salt and water in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the ribs are tender.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the chipotle glaze. Mix to combine the chipotle chiles, onion flakes, Tabasco, cocoa powder, maple syrup, sugar and salt.
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place in a large deep-sided tray or pan. While the ribs are still hot, rub the chipotle glaze evenly over the ribs to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until cool or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the ribs on wire racks set over 2 rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes, until golden and caramelized. Serve with lime wedges, pickled jalapeño peppers and the Corn and Jalapeño Chile Flatbreads, if desired.

CHIPOTLE-PLUM BBQ PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix 1/4 cup hot water with the instant coffee and stir to dissolve. Once, dissolved, combine with the plum sauce, orange juice, chipotle sauce and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce the heat. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Coat both sides of the ribs with the sauce, saving 2/3 cup for basting. Arrange the ribs, meaty-side up, in 1 layer in a foil-lined baking sheet. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake the ribs 1 hour. Remove the foil (from the top), baste with the remaining BBQ sauce and bake the ribs 1 hour more.
• Allow the cooked ribs to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.

BABY BACK RIBS WITH ORANGE-CHIPOTLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Directions for Ribs:
• Preheat your gas grill or charcoal to medium high heat.
• Season the ribs liberally on both sides with spices. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side. Remove the ribs from the grill and allow to cool. (Or, if you prefer, you can broil in a conventional oven for 5 minutes per side.)
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wrap the ribs in plastic wrap, then in foil, place on a baking sheet, and bake at 350 degrees for 1½ hours. Remove the ribs from the oven and allow to cool while still wrapped.
• Prior to serving, spoon the Orange-Chipotle Glaze (see recipe below) over the ribs, liberally coating both sides. Serve one slab of ribs per person, and pass the Orange-Chipotle Glaze at the table.
• Directions for Glaze:
• In a heavy 3-gallon non-reactive stockpot, reduce the orange juice to ¼ cup.
• Add the remaining ingredients and cook over medium-high heat until the sugar has melted and the sauce has reduced to 4 cups and coats the back of a spoon, about 20 - 30 minutes. (Note: be sure to use a large pot as specified and also watch carefully while reducing the glaze - it has a tendency to over boil!).

CHIPOTLE BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan meat-side up. Sprinkle them with the paprika, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Rub the spices all over the ribs.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the meat is very tender and can easily be pulled off the bone, about 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the ketchup, orange juice, Worcestershire, chipotles and adobo and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to keep at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Alternately, an immersion blender can be used in the pot.
• Finish the ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high (or set the oven to broil).
• Reserve about a cup of the barbecue sauce for serving alongside the ribs. Brush a small amount of the remaining sauce on the bone side of the ribs and a generous amount on the meaty side.
• Grill the ribs, meaty-side up, until the underside is lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn the ribs over and grill until the meaty side is charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes (if using the oven, simply broil for 3 to 5 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and cut each rack in half. Serve immediately with the reserved sauce on the side.

CHIPOTLE AND HONEY GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400ºF.
• Place half the ribs in single layer on large sheet of heavy-duty foil. Mix mustard, pepper and honey; rub half evenly onto both sides of ribs. Bring up foil sides. Double fold top and both ends to seal packet. Repeat to make second packet. Place packets on baking sheet and bake 2 hours or until ribs are done.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove ribs from foil; discard foil. Brush ribs with barbecue sauce; grill 2 to 3 min. on each side or until lightly charred, turning occasionally. Serve with lime halves.

ORANGE GLAZED COUNTRY PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Spray a 3 or 4 quart slow cooker with cooking spray; place ribs, onions and garlic in cooker.
• Cover; cook on low setting for 8 to 9 hours.
• About 10 minutes before serving, remove ribs from slow cooker; place on serving platter and cover to keep warm.
• In 2 cup microwave safe measuring cup, combine all sauce ingredients; mix well.
• Stir in 3/4 cup juices from slow cooker; discard remaining juices.
• Microwave sauce on high for 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until mixture boils and thickens, stirring once halfway through cooking.
• Pour sauce over ribs. To make them a bit sticky, I do it one of two ways depending on time. You can either drain all the grease from the crock pot and add the ribs and the sauce back to it, then cook on high uncovered for about another hour or if pressed for time, you can transfer the sauce covered ribs to a shallow baking pan and caramelize under the broiler, basting frequently.
• (I can personally think of all sorts of things I might try adding to this, but until I have tried them out, I will wait to post them lol. Let me know how it turns out!).

SPICE-RUBBED RIB EYE STEAK WITH ORANGE-PINEAPPLE CHIPOTLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Prepare the glaze - you can make this ahead and reheat before use! In a saucepan blend the pineapple and orange juices with the vinegar, pureed chipotles and ground cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer uncovered until mixture is reduced by 2/3, 45-60 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste. (If you want to use as a basting sauce for other recipes, stop here.) Return mixture to heat, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer to reduce by almost one half. The glaze or basting sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for one month.
• For the steak, combine the toasted cumin seeds, cracked peppercorns and salt in a small bowl. Rub the steaks on both sides with the spice mixture. Let sit at room temperature while you heat the grill.
• Grill the steaks over very hot coals (or pan-sear the steaks over high heat) about 7 minutes on each side for medium-rare, 1-2 minutes longer for medium, less for rare, checking carefully for doneness since the thickness of the steaks and intensity of heat will affect cooking time.
• Remove steaks from heat when just slightly underdone: cooking will continue while standing. Brush with glaze, and allow steaks to stand for 5-8 minutes. Serve on warmed plates, with extra glaze on the side.
