Guava Bbq Ribs Recipes

CHINESE-STYLE RIBS WITH GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• RIBS:.
• Light a grill.
• When the coals are covered with a light gray ash, push them to opposite sides of the grill and set a disposable drip pan in the center.
• If using a gas grill, turn off the center burners.
• In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, dry mustard, Chinese five-spice powder, pepper, cinnamon and cloves.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the ribs.
• Pour the sherry into a spray bottle.
• Place the ribs on the hot grate above the drip pan and away from the coals, bony side down.
• Cover and grill for 30 minutes. Spray the ribs with sherry. Cover and grill for another 30 minutes.
• Shift the ribs around (but keep them bony side down) and spray once more with sherry.
• Cover and grill for about 30 minutes longer, until the meat is tender.
• Replenish the coals as necessary throughout grilling.
• Take the ribs off the grill and spread the coals out evenly.
• Brush the Guava Barbecue Sauce on both sides of the ribs and grill directly over the fire for about 1 minute per side, until glazed and bubbling.
• Transfer the ribs to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut down between the bones and arrange the ribs on a platter.
• Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
• GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE:.
• In a small saucepan, combine the guava paste with the vinegar, rum, tomato paste, lime juice, low-sodium tamari, worcestershire sauce, ginger, scallion, garlic, red ppeper flakes, and water and bring to a boil.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 15 minutes.
• Season with salt & pepper (if needed).
• * A red wine with rich fruit and soft tannins, such as a Zinfandel from California's Central Coast, will enrich the flavor of these sweet, sticky ribs.

GUAVA BARBEQUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the water, guava paste, vinegar, rum, tomato paste, lemon juice, onion, ginger, soy sauce, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, and scotch bonnet pepper into a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, whisking until evenly blended. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
