Fezinio Chilli and Garlic Spare Ribs

[Fezinio]

Now i am a bit of a garlic and chilli freak so here is my first submitted recipe to the forum. I hope you try it and enjoy. Please feel free to comment. I have adapted to my own taste from many a chinese recipe.

Ingredients: (all are personal measures so experiment)

Spare ribs or belly pork with fat trimmed off.
garlic
chilli (take out seeds if you dont want the heat)
ginger
2 table spoons of hoisin sause
2 table spoons dark soy
teaspoon of sugar
a few spring onions with green shoots
water + chicken cube or chicken stock (enough to cover ribs)
salt
pepper

Ok here goes, like i said the measures are all down to personal taste so experiment.

1. In a wok or deep pan brown off the ribs to seal. (you can deep fry if you like)
2. Put all the other ingredients apart from the stock into a magi mix or pound in pestal and morter until they are all well mixed.
3. Stir fry mixture with ribsfor a minute or two.
4. Add the water + chicken cube or chicken stock so the ribs are coved.
5. Simmer and let stock reduce completely.
6. Put ribs in the oven on 180C for 10 mins.
7. Crack open a beer and enjoy.

Hope you like it I do.

I also do the same with chicken wings. Heaven

That sounds fab F! I love spare ribs - and chicken wings....think I've got some wings in the freezer so may have a go when they have defrosted! DDL

That sounds delicious Fezinio. I've shown it to Mr E who thinks it sounds "pretty damn good" so we will be trying it in the near future. Miss E will probably taste test too. Will let you know how it goes.

Looks rather tempting I must say!

I love hot and spicy food, but Mr D has a hiatus hernia, so ends up paying for anything too spicey with a bad case of acid! May just have to try a not too hot version out on Mr D, and see how he goes!

Looking at the way Fezinio has laid out the ingredients the garlic, chilli and ginger are to taste so that shouldn't be a problem. Just think of the flavour without the heat. Yum!!!

Hi,

Im glad there's a few interested tasters, you won't be disappointed

As Earthbabe says its all down to personal taste really. If you dont want it to spicey then just cut down the chilli (take out the seeds) and garlic.

Personally i stick a few chillis in and make sure i got a cold beer handy

Use belly pork for a cheaper version it works just as well but i would recommend getting lean ones and cut off as much fat as you can.

If you try it woth chicken wings then I usually cut them into 2 (tip and drum stick i thing there are called). Hopefully you know what i mean.
