Pork Riblets With Honey Pepper Glaze Recipes

HOISIN AND HONEY PORK RIBLETS

Steps:

• In a kettle of boiling salted water simmer the ribs, covered, for 30 minutes and drain them well. In a large bowl whisk together the honey, the soy sauce, the garlic paste, the hoisin sauce, the mustard, the vinegar, and black pepper to taste, add the ribs, and toss the mixture well, coating the ribs thoroughly. Let the ribs marinate, chilled, for at least 1 hour or overnight.
• Remove the ribs from the marinade, arrange them in one layer on the oiled rack of a foil-lined broiler pan, and broil them under a preheated broiler about 4 inches from the heat, basting them with the marinade, for 3 minutes. Turn the ribs with tongs and broil them, basting them with the marinade, for 2 to 3 minutes more, or until they are browned well and glazed. Discard the marinade.

SPICED HONEY-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325˚ and set a wire rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Put the cumin and coriander seeds in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a heavy skillet. Transfer to a bowl and add the brown sugar, paprika and red pepper flakes. Season the ribs generously with salt and pepper, rub all over with the vegetable oil, then rub all over with the spice mixture, pressing to adhere. Transfer the ribs meat-side up to the rack.
• Stir together the honey and vinegar in a small bowl. Bake the ribs, rotating the baking sheet after 45 minutes, until well browned, 1 hour 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Brush half of the honey mixture on both sides of the ribs and bake 15 more minutes, then brush with the remaining honey mixture and continue baking until the ribs are deeply browned and tender, about 15 more minutes. Transfer the ribs to a cutting board and let cool slightly before carving.
