Okay, so the ribs were actually supposed be baby back ribs, and the BBQ sauce was supposed to be Guava not Strawberry, but the boneless ribs were on sale and I couldn't find any guava paste. If you plan ahead, you can order it online..... but surprise surprise, I did not plan ahead and instead I got all experimental and substituted about 4 TBS of seedless strawberry jam for the guava paste. I didn't expect it to turn out as well as it did. Who would've thought strawberries can make good BBQ sauce-- but it was f-ing delicious. Also, because these were boneless ribs, I didn't follow the cooking directions on the recipe below. Instead, I put the ribs in a crock pot with a chopped onion, the spices and the sherry. I cooked them on low for about 5-6 hours. Then I followed the directions for the BBQ sauce: substituting the 4 TBS strawberry jam for the guava paste, and also adding 1 TBS molasses and 1 tsp spicy tamarind dipping sauce. I drained most of the liquid from the crock pot, added the BBQ sauce, and cooked the meat for another hour. So you can follow my recipe or the one below-- which I'm sure is good as well.
Next up: Gingery Creamed Kale and Cabbage. I love this recipe. No adjustments needed. Unless you want to add a few small red chiles for spice like I did. ;-)
Mashed Winter Squash with Indian Spices. This is my new favorite recipe for butternut squash. It's so fucking good I wanted to put my whole face in it and eat like "momma's little piggy piggy." And it's easy to boot! The only thing I changed was I added 3/4 tsp of Garam Masala to pump up the Indian spices. Seriously so good. Better than mashed potatoes.
Eat up little piggies!
