Categories     Main Course

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large country style ribs, approx. 2 1/2 - 3 lbs.
seasoned salt
2-3 bell peppers, seeds and membranes removed, sliced into 1/2-inch strips
1 large head fresh broccoli, cut into florets
20 oz. can pineapple chunks, drained, reserve 1/2 cup of the juice for the sauce
1/2 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. fresh ginger root
1/2 cup ketchup
1 Tbs. honey or agave nectar
3 cloves garlic, crushed or minced
1 Tbs. cornstarch

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Place the ribs onto a foil-covered, greased baking sheet, arranging them so there is space around each one. Season the ribs on all sides with the seasoned salt.
  • Meanwhile, in a sauce pan over medium heat, make the sauce by combining the vinegar, oil, soy sauce, ginger root, ketchup, honey, and garlic. In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the reserved cup of pineapple juice; whisk into the sauce ingredients in the sauce pan. Bring the sauce to a boil; reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer until it's reduced by half. When the sauce has nicely thickened, pour half of it from the saucepan; reserve this half of the sauce for serving the ribs later.
  • Using a silicone pastry brush, slather the ribs on the baking sheet with a generous amount of sauce from the saucepan. Cover the baking sheet tightly with foil then place it into the preheated oven on the center rack. Bake the ribs for 1 - 1 1/2 hours or until they are very fork-tender at the center.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
  • When the ribs are very tender, remove the baking sheet from the oven; carefully unwrap the foil. Scatter the bell pepper slices and broccoli florets around the ribs; slather everything with more sauce from the saucepan,
  • Return the ribs and vegetables to the oven; roast for 12-15 minutes or until the ribs are bubbly on top and the vegetables are al dente. Serve at once with the reserved sauce.

SWEET-AND-SOUR BALSAMIC-GLAZED SPARERIBS



Sweet-and-Sour Balsamic-Glazed Spareribs image

Provided by Adam Roberts

Categories     Pork     Bake     Broil     Dinner     Vinegar     Meat     Pork Rib     Advance Prep Required     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

For the ribs
2 racks spareribs
Kosher salt
4 to 6 sprigs of fresh thyme
For the glaze
2 1/2 cups balsamic vinegar (don't waste your best balsamic here)
1/2 cup honey
2 cups ketchup
1 can beer (preferably dry)
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 red onion, diced
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup grainy mustard
1 or 2 teaspoons Tabasco (depending on how spicy you like it)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F and place each rack of ribs on a square of aluminum foil. Sprinkle the ribs generously with salt, add a few sprigs of thyme to each, and then wrap well. Place the rib packets on a cookie sheet and bake for 3 to 4 hours, until the ribs are extremely tender. Allow the ribs to cool slightly in their packets before opening.
  • To make the glaze, combine all of the ingredients in a large pot on medium-low heat. Allow to simmer, stirring every so often, for a few hours, until the sauce is nice and thick. Set aside.
  • To bring the ribs and glaze together, do the following. Turn on the broiler (if you don't have a broiler, get the oven up to 450°F). Cut the rib racks into individual ribs, place them on a foil-lined cookie sheet or broiler tray, and brush them aggressively with the glaze. Pop them under the broiler and watch them carefully: all that sugar makes them burn very easily! You want the glaze to fuse with the ribs; it takes 3 to 4 minutes. If you're cooking the ribs in the oven, do so just until the glaze begins to bubble, 4 to 5 minutes. Serve the ribs hot with lots of napkins-trust me, you'll need them.
