One 3-pound rack of pork spareribs, or boar ribs, if available

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 shallots, diced

1 clove garlic, minced

2 teaspoons red curry paste

1 cup ketchup

1 bottle beer (Rhapsody Malt is best, but substitute in a pinch. The less hoppy, the better.)

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

2 tablespoons molasses

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 275°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a rack over top. Place the ribs on this rack, meaty side up, and sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper. Place in the oven to start slow-cooking.

Place a saucepot over medium heat and add the oil, shallots, and garlic. Cook until the shallots are soft and the garlic is fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the curry paste to coat the shallots and garlic, then add the remaining ingredients. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has reduced to a semi thick sauce. For a smoother sauce, blend the mixture with a submersible blender until no pieces of shallot or garlic remain.

The ribs will slow cook for about 3 hours. Baste with the sauce every 20 to 30 minutes or so (cover the underside a few times, too) until you’ve got a nice thick layer of tangy delicious sauce. Allow to cool slightly after cooking, and enjoy.

Tips from the Chef

1 bottle of beer is generally 12 ounces (or around 350 ml)

If you would like to use an alternative to beer, try chicken stock with a ½ teaspoon of liquid smoke for a different flavor.

Wild Rice CakesIngredients

1 tablespoon butter

1 clove garlic, minced

2 small leeks, half-moon cut

½ cup heavy cream

2 cups cooked wild rice

1 egg

½ cup sweet corn, fresh or frozen

¼ cup shelled edamame

¼ cup grated mozzarella cheese

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1½ cups flour

Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

Melt the butter in a medium frying pan over medium-low heat, then cook the garlic and leeks until they are soft but not too brown, about 3 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, and stir for another minute, until the leeks have absorbed some of the liquid. Remove from heat, transfer to a mixing bowl, and allow to cool. Add in all other ingredients except the flour, mixing thoroughly. Gradually work in the flour until you have a dense dough that isn’t too sticky.

Pour just enough oil into a frying pan to cover the bottom, and heat over medium-low. Using lightly oiled hands, form the rice mixture into patties roughly 5 inches across and ½-inch thick. Working in batches, drop the patties into the hot pan and cook for about three minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden on each side and cooked through.

Tips from the Chef

DOUGH WILL BE STICKY. Use a spoon or an ice cream disher to place into frying pan and then flatten to desired thinness.

The cakes are great by themselves but they also go great with a sauce. Garlic aioli, ranch, or maybe a cheese sauce.

Keep the wild rice cakes on a bed of paper towels to drain any extra oil.
