BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe

Try this fabulous BBQ Pork Ribs Recipe for a culinary treat served up from your own BBQ this summer!

Ingredients

4 lbs. of thick and meaty pork belly ribs
BBQ sauce (smoked variety)
Red wine
Ketchup
Worcestershire sauce
Honey
Rosemary fresh leaves
Oregano flakes
Salt & pepper to taste
Corn starch or flour

No specific ingredient quantities are needed for this recipe. You will adjust them to your liking. (The more, the better!) Four pounds of meat feeds four hungry people, unless you're inviting me, then you'll need to double that! :-)

Preparation

Start by marinating the ribs, putting them fairly packed into a plastic bag or non-metal container. Sprinkle them with a lot of fresh Rosemary leaves (dried rosemary leaves may be used but the flavor will be not the same), Oregano flakes and pepper (no salt at this time), then liberally coat them with the honey, BBQ sauce, ketchup and Worcestershire sauce.

Turn the ribs and repeat the same operation, then add the red wine, being very careful not to wash out the coating of the ribs (you should pour the wine into the corners of the container).

The wine should cover most of the ribs. Allow them to marinate overnight in the refrigerator, carefully turning several times.

Prepare the charcoal. You will need plenty of it because pork takes more time than beef, and the ribs should be cooked on the upper rack of the grill if possible.

Cooking Method

After the meat is seared on one side, turn it around and put the salt over this side, then repeat the salting process when the opposite side is also sealed. Then move the ribs to the upper rack of the grill for the remainder of the cooking.

You will need to turn them quite a few times in order to cook the ribs without burning. Check how well they are done by cutting one of the ribs in the thickest part and checking the colour. If you prefer the meat juicy then they will be ready when the internal flesh has a very light pink colour without blood at all, but this is up to you, for a really well done rib, but drier, the meat should be almost completely white inside.

Some 5 minutes before the ribs are done, pour more honey over them, allowing it to melt.

SAUCE:

Whilst the ribs are cooking put all the marinade juice into a skillet (it can be sieved if you like) and add 2 or 3 teaspoons of cornstarch or flour to thicken the sauce. Bring it to boil, and then simmer for a few minutes. Check the thickness of this sauce and add the salt to your liking. If you like it thicker, add more cornstarch dissolved in any cold liquid (water or wine, etc) to avoid the forming of any lumps.

Note: To avoid an uncooked cornstarch taste, add cornstarch at least 10 minutes before cooking is finished.

Finally, serve the ribs with the sauce in a separate bowl, add some good company with a glass or two of wine and enjoy this BBQ pork ribs recipe on a warm relaxing summer's evening!

Trying To Cook Grilled Halibut to Help With Your Diet

This recipe is a must to cook and eat when you are having a healthy diet and don't want to ruin the days that you have spent making sure that you are not mistaking something. So when you want to try something other than the diet foods that you eat everyday and crave for something new and delicious food, then cooking a grilled halibut could be the food that you might be looking for. Grilling halibut is easy for people who want to eat something new and can be added to their already healthy diet. It would require the freshest halibut in the market, since freshness counts when you are cooking something unique and mouth-watering.

Let us know the health benefits that the grilled halibut recipe can give. This recipe can be eaten by people who have diabetes. This recipe is high in protein content and low in carbohydrate. When it comes to fats, fish have lower content compared to meat. If you want to reduce your sodium intake you can use reduced sodium balsamic vinegar to reduce the sodium content of the recipe. Here is how to cook the grilled halibut.

Ingredients:

• halibut steak, cut into 1 inch thick
• 1 tablespoon coarse-grain mustard
• 2 small leeks or 1 big leek
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
• ½ tablespoon water
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoon olive oil, preferably extra virgin

Cooking the Food:

1. In a bowl, whisk the mustard, balsamic vinegar, water, half amount of minced garlic and half of the olive oil. When you are done mixing the ingredients, set it aside, you will use the mixture later.

2. Cut the tops of the small leeks or the big leek and its roots. After doing the cutting, wash the leek thoroughly. Remove the outer white layers of the leeks. Drain the leeks well after you have washed them.

3. When the leeks are clean, combine them with a small amount of water in a saucepan. Bring the water to a boil over medium heat. After the water boils, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let the leeks simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes. After that, drain the water and pat the leeks till they are dry. Apply some olive oil using a brush on the leeks.

4. Stir the remaining garlic with the other remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Spread the mixture evenly on the fish with the help of your fingers.

5. Lightly grease the grill rack so that the fish won't stick on the surface. Place the leeks and the fish directly over the grill rack over medium coals or charcoal. Cover the grill for about 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the fish and leeks once the grilling is halfway done. If you want to make sure that it is cooked, test it with a fork. If the fish flakes then it is already cooked.

6. When you are done with the cooking, remove both the leeks and the fish. If you want to add presentation to your food, slice the leeks into ½ pieces and place it in a clean bowl. Add some mustard and vinegar mixture.

When you are done cooking, you may prepare fresh fruit juice or wine to go with the food and savor the grilled halibut more. You can have this recipe prepared when you have a date with someone and surprise him or her about the healthy food you have prepared.

A Whole New World - Sam (Benny & Joon)

When I saw the movie "Benny & Joon", I completely fell in love with the romantic, sad, crazy, hilarious storyline, and also with the amazing character Sam! When Sam met Joon, her illness didn't matter to him, he loved her for all that she was. He took her to a whole new world, one where trees were even more comfortable than chairs, grilled cheese was made on ironing boards, Buster Keaton was the best style role model, playing with food was fun, hats had a mind of their own, and swinging several feet above the ground outside of a window was a sign of true love. Sam discovered this world, a world right inside of our own, if we only open our eyes and experience it:)
