Buffalo Thai Chili Pork Country Ribs with Peanuts

Happy New Year and thanks for reading!

Let's roll out the New Year and celebrate 10 years of food blogging in cuisineici.blogspot.com and cuisineeric.blogspot.com with a fun Asian dish that would be a hit for a New Year's celebration! You could roast up for four or scale up to 20 with this fun dish. Happy New Year and happy 10 years of reading - thanks for visiting, and look forward to much more!

Sauce:

1 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

1/2 cup Buffalo wing sauce

4 Tbsp butter, melted

1 lb pork boneless country ribs

1/2 cup peanuts, coarsely chopped

Preheat oven to 400F. Whisk together the sauce ingredients in a baking casserole. Submerge the pork in the sauce.

Bake the pork for about 35-45 minutes, until the pork is fully cooked through (reading at least 150F on a meat thermometer).

Remove pork from sauce to a cutting board and allow to rest for 5 minutes, covered with aluminum foil. Pour sauce into a serving bowl.

Slice pork into serving strips. Serve garnished with sauce and chopped peanuts, on rice and with other favorite sides. Serve extra sauce on the side.

Serves 4.

Cook’s Note: Here I went a bit unconventional and served the dish next to a fresh spinach salad. I love the contrast of the hot saucy dish and a cold crisp salad. But you can choose whatever you love. Maybe steamed bok choy, green beans or broccoli?

Umami Beef Short Ribs Samin Nosrat

This is the penultimate prep for beef short ribs. Based on the superb documentary by Samin Nosrat, Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, this is the most umami rib dish you will ever have. Its the combination of red miso and soy sauce that marinates and flavors the beef - give it a long time to work right - that means overnight in the fridge; it's worth the planning ahead. 6 beef short ribs on the bone, about 3-4 lb 1 large sweet yellow onion, diced 2 stalks celery, diced 1 jalapeño pepper, minced 4 cloves garlic, halved Marinade: 1/4 cup red miso 1/4 cup soy sauce 1/4 cup pale dry sherry or Mirin rice wine 1 Tbsp sesame oil 1 Tbsp honey 2 cloves garlic, minced Salt the ribs generously with coarse salt and let rest overnight in the refrigerator in a resealable plastic bag.

Tzatziki

Tzatziki is a wonderful Greek yogurt dip and condiment. It's great with pita bread or veggies, or as a topping on all kinds of grilled foods. Make sure you use a full fat, thick Greek yogurt, and that you squeeze as much water out of the grated cucumber as you can - you don't want a watery Tzatziki; it should be thick and rich. 1/2 English cucumber (about 6-inches), sliced lengthwise in half 1/4 tsp kosher salt 1 cup full fat Greek Yogurt (I used Fage 5%) 2 cloves garlic, grated with microplane or minced through a press 1/2 shallot, very finely diced 1 Tbsp fresh dill weed, minced (or 1/4 tsp dried dill) 1/8 tsp Aleppo red pepper (or fine-ground Korean chili pepper), or to taste 1 tsp red wine vinegar Cut cucumber in half lengthwise.

Squeeze water from cucumber and then tip onto the center of a full-sized paper t...
