Sticky Maple And Bourbon Pork Ribs Food

STICKY MAPLE AND BOURBON PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs:
• Place the vinegar, water, bay leaves, cinnamon, sugar, rock salt and onion in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
• Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the pork is tender.
• For the glaze:
• Place the bourbon, maple syrup, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, paprika and salt flakes in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes or until slightly reduced. Set aside.
• To finish:
• Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place, meat-side down, in a large deep-sided ovenproof dish. Top with the glaze and roast for 15 minutes.
• Turn the ribs over, baste with the glaze and roast for a further 15 minutes or until the pork is tender and the glaze is reduced. Brush with any remaining glaze and slice to serve.

STICKY MAPLE BOURBON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottom or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with the olive oil. Season the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan breast-side down and sear until deep golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
• While the chicken in searing, in a small dish whisk together the stock, syrup, and bourbon. Add the bourbon mixture to the skillet along with the thyme sprigs and continue cooking, turning the chicken occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the sauce has reduced to a thick syrupy consistency, 8 to 10 minutes. (If the sauce reduces to a syrupy consistency before the chicken has cooked through, add a few splashes of stock to the skillet and continue cooking.)
• To serve, remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Spoon the sticky sauce over the chicken and enjoy warm.

STICKY MAPLE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Add a little oil to the roasting pan and rub it around the inside with a piece of paper towel.
• Peel the skin away from the onion and throw it away. Grate the onion into a large mixing bowl using the coarse or large-hole side of a grater.
• Add the maple syrup, soy sauce, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and 4 grinds of black pepper.
• Mix together well.
• Add the ribs to the bowl one at a time and use a metal spoon to thoroughly cover the ribs with the sticky glaze.
• Carefully lift the ribs into the prepared pan.
• Put the roasting pan in the preheated oven. Bake for 30 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven.
• Using kitchen tongs, carefully turn over the ribs so they brown evenly.
• Put the pan back in the oven and bake for another 30 minutes.
• The ribs should be a dark golden brown and crispy around the edges. Lift the pan out of the oven.
• Carefully transfer the ribs to a serving plate and eat!
