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. Whisk together the marinade. Pour into the plastic bag and allow to marinate on the counter for about 2-3 hours, or again overnight in the refrigerator. Preheat...

Rosemary Chimichurri

I am making this fresh aromatic condiment more and more often. It can be used as a topping for grilled meats, fish, and for many other flavoring opportunities. I now keep some in the refrigerator almost at all times. 4 Tbsp fresh rosemary leaves large palmful fresh cilantro, leaves and stems 3 cloves garlic 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes juice of 1/2 lime (or lemon), and the zest if you like 1/4 tsp salt fresh ground black pepper to taste 1/4 cup olive oil Pulse the rosemary, cilantro and garlic in a small food processor (You could also use a mortar and pestle.) Tip into a small bowl and stir in the remaining ingredients. Cook’s Note: If you haven’t noticed, I love chimichurri sauce. It’s zesty, and full of aromatics. It goes on so many dishes and is a great ingredient for so many things. Make some and keep it in the fridge for inspiration. I use fresh rosemary and cilantro as my green herbs, but you could use oregano and parsley, which is also popular. Many peo...

'Back-of-the-bag' King Arthur Oatmeal Bread

This is one of the best loaves of bread I have ever made, based on a famous recipe. Friends swear about King Arthur recipes, and now I do too. I only modified King Arthur's recipe slightly, adding the yolk of the egg I used for the eggwash on the crust. Goes great with a big pot of bean soup. And it toasts up so nicely - aroma therapy for the whole house! 3-1/4 to 3-1/2 cups bread flour 1 cup old fashioned oats 2 tsp active dry yeast 2 Tbsp honey 1-1/2 tsp salt 2 Tbsp butter, finely diced 1 egg yolk 1-1/4 cup lukewarm (about 100F) milk 1 egg white plus 1 Tbsp water about 1/4 cup old fashioned oats for topping Mix ingredients to a firm but still tacky dough. You’ll have to adjust the final amount of dough to the humidity of your kitchen and flour - err on the sticky side for a lighter, moister loaf. Knead dough 5 minutes. Roll dough around in an oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow dough to rise an hour. ...
