4 lbs. pork spareribs
1 red onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp. grated fresh gingerroot
1 tbsp. peanut oil
1/2 c. pineapple juice
2 tbsp. fish sauce
1/4 c. tomato paste
1/4 c. fresh lime juice
2 tbsp. honey
1/3 c. Thai sweet chili sauce

Separate ribs by slicing between the bones with a large knife or cleaver. Simmer separated ribs in large pan of salted water until just tender, about 30 minutes. Drain. Rinse under cold running water and drain again. Leave to cool completely. Place onion, garlic, ginger and oil in a small pan. Stir fry over medium heat until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Add pineapple juice, fish sauce, tomato paste, lime juice, honey and 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce. Bring to the boil. Simmer gently until thick, 10 minutes. Leave to cool completely. Brush the sweet sour mix over the ribs. Grill according to instructions below, basting with the remaining chili sauce throughout. Serve hot. Makes 4 servings.
OUTDOOR ON THE BARBECUE:
Grill over medium-hot coals, turning frequently and basting, until brown and crusty, 15 minutes.
INDOOR:
Preheat broiler. Broil, removing from under the broiler every 5 minutes to baste, until brown and crusty, 15 minutes.
THINK AHEAD:
Pre-cook the ribs up to 1 day in advance. Cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Make glaze up to 1 day in advance. Cover and refrigerate.
COOKS NOTE:
Pre-cook the ribs in simmering water to remove the layer of outer fat. This not only prevents flare-ups during cooking, but allows the rib meat to stay tender and juicy inside and crispy on the outside.

French Style Pork Ribs

3 lbs. pork loin rib ends or 4 lbs. country-style spare ribs
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. fresh thyme leaves or 1/2 tsp. dried, crumbled
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp. fennel seed, slightly crushed
1/2 tsp. crushed rosemary
6 fresh mint leaves, slivered
1 sage leaf
4 cloves garlic, finely sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
3 sprigs thyme
1/2 med. sized bay leaf
1 tsp. fennel seed
2 sprigs fresh mint
2 sage leaves
1/2 c. olive oil
4 to 6 med. potatoes
Freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for the grill
Chopped fresh herbs for garnish: thyme, mint, parsley
2 to 3 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1/2 c. cubed ham fat (optional)

To make the marinade, combine the kosher salt, thyme leaves, bay leaf, fennel seed, rosemary, mint leaves, sage leaf, garlic and olive oil. Marinate the pork ribs starting about a day before you plan to fire up the grill.
Make the herb flavored oil about 2 or 3 days in advance by combining the thyme, bay leaf, fennel seed, mint, sage, and olive oil. Use a clean glass jar or bottle with a non-reactive top. Set it aside in a cool place away from sunlight and shake the oil gently about twice a day.
About two hours before grilling, remove the ribs from the refrigerator, wipe off the excess marinade, and set aside, allow the meat to come up to room temperature.
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch thick slices and brush them lightly with herb-flavored oil. After the coals in your grill have burnt down to a nice white ash, brush the grill with the plain vegetable oil and arrange the ribs flat on the grill. Every 10 minutes or so turn and baste the ribs with the herb-infused oil.
Add the potatoes after the first 10 minutes or so and baste them well with the oil. Don't let them over cook, and turn them once during the grilling process. Cooking the ribs to well done will take about 45 minutes to an hour. If the potatoes start to get too cooked, move them to a cooler spot on the grill (if you have the room) or place them in a warm oven until the meat is ready.
Serve the pork hot with a sprinkling of fresh ground pepper, herbs and a squeeze or two of lemon juice. If you plan to flavor the meat with the rendered hot ham fat, simmer the fat in 3 tablespoons of water over low heat for about 15 or 20 minutes. When there are only cubes of fat and rendered fat left in the pan spread them on the ribs and potatoes during last 5 minutes or so of grilling.





Mustard & Pineapple Ribs

1 c. pineapple ribs
1 tsp. Kitchen Bouquet
2 tbsp. vinegar
2 tsp. Dijon-style prepared mustard
3 to 4 lbs. pork spareribs

For the glaze, combine pineapple preserves, Kitchen Bouquet, vinegar, and mustard. Set mixture aside. Salt ribs and place the slabs, bone side down, on grill over slow coals. Broil for about 20 minutes then turn meat side down and broil until nicely browned, about 10 more minutes. Again turn meat side up and continue broiling without turning for about 30 minutes or until meat is well-done, brushing frequently with the glaze.





Rubbed Crown Roast
FOR THE RUB:

10 garlic cloves
2 tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 tbsp. chopped fresh sage leaves
1 tbsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 crown roast of pork,
7 to 8 lbs, tied in a circle

To make the rub: Press the garlic cloves through a garlic press into a small bowl. Add the rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper and blend with a fork. Spread the rub all over the roast and in the crevices. Let stand at room temperature one hour before grilling.
Grill the roast, over indirect high heat for 30 minutes. Then, reduce the grill temperature and continue grilling over indirect medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 145
°F, about 2 1/2 hours longer. Remove from the grill, lightly cover with foil and let rest 20 minutes before carving. Cut and remove string from the roast and slice the roast between the ribs bones.




Hoisin-Glazed Baby Back Ribs
FOR THE GLAZE:

1 c. hoisin sauce
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. red wine vinegar
2 tbsp. grated fresh ginger
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp. sesame oil
2 tsp. curry powder
4 to 6 lbs. pork baby back ribs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp. sesame seeds

To make the glaze: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hoisin sauce, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and curry powder. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and cook over low heat for 2 to 3 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from the heat.
Season the ribs liberally with salt and pepper. Grill over indirect medium heat, turning once halfway through grilling time. When the ribs have cooked for 1 hour, start basting them every 15 minutes or so with the hoisin glaze until the meat is very tender and has shrunk from the ends of the bones, 15 to 30 minutes more. A few minutes before the ribs are finished, sprinkle them with the sesame seeds. Remove the ribs from the grill and cut between the bones.

 
Baby Back Ribs With Spice Apple-Cider Mop
FOR THE MOP:

2 c. apple cider
1/4 c. minced shallots
1 tbsp. minced jalapeno pepper, seeds removed
1/4 c. ketchup
2 tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tbsp. dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 slabs baby back pork ribs, about 4 lbs.
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

To make the mop: In a small saucepan combine the apple cider, shallots, and jalapeno. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-high heat until about 1 cup of the liquid remains, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the remaining mop ingredients, bring to a boil, and remove from the heat. (The mop may be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.)
Allow the ribs to stand at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before grilling. Season with salt and pepper. Grill, rub side down, over indirect medium heat until the meat is very tender and has pulled back from the ends of the bones, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Baste the ribs frequently with the mop throughout grilling time,


Prize Winning Baby Back Ribs

Thanks Chrish
 
I actually prefer recipes that are tried and true......with an opinion. We can all hunt down and re-post recipes but the ones by Dutch, Debi, Goat and so many more are from their hearts, and they can tell me what it TASTES like if I ask them. Just my 2 cents worth. A huge list of untested recipes is useless to me! (Message to Lisa--sounds like Kebamo!)

I am looking for a recipe for hard salami that tastes like Oscar Meyer. My Mama had a good one but I think I have something missing in the recipe and she has long since passed on.

Oscar Meyer has alot of trade secrets there but using the hard salami mix from www.sausagemaker.com and adding in some MSG ive come close, maby increasing the mix of meat to 50-50 beef and pork, tho it could be the otherway around with more beef then pork, i would try it again with less pork as pork is more creamy and doesnt set up well when making anything firm, and add in some MSG (that really makes a difference on taste) dont smoke it tho bake a sample stick,.
you do sausagemaking right? i dont know much about your past maby i havent read the right things yet to learn about otheres,, but from what ive made in the past it comes close to the name brand and it might be close enough for ya, but you need a tweker on this subject and i know where to look, give me a day i just might find it.

chris, I did offer my opinion and it's just that, even saying it's just my two cents worth. If you took that personally it's your right, and your problem. I think posting 2,000 recipes is nonproductive, and I'd rather have 2 from Q'rs that have actually created or eaten their food than stamped out of other sites or books. Sorry, it's my opinion. Let the woodchips fall.
 
no, chris, they don't need to remove anything. I hope someone will benefit, and I hope you do too. Have a great night.
