What's Cooking?

Was feeling ribs so that was tonight’s dinner. $9 rack of ribs from Fresh Co. Remove the silver skin, rub the rack with a lemon and rising the ribs. Dry ribs with paper towel. Dry rub and let it marinade over night in the fridge. Wrap the ribs tightly in foil and bake for 2h at 350F. Take out and liberally apply BBQ of your liking, put it back in the oven and broil for 5mins (didn’t set the temperature but it somehow landed at 510F). Flip the ribs and apply BBQ sauce, broil for another 5mins. Flip the ribs once more and apply sauce and finish off with a final 3mins on broil. Absolutely fall off the bone ribs.

Not the most amazing appearance but it is what it is.

Looks scrumptious.

I do confess, I wouldn't instinctively pair ribs w/rice, but nothing wrong w/the idea.

My family always paired ribs with rice.

I'm a big fan of what I call 'oven ribs' in the winter. You don't get the same smokeyness of real bbq, but that it hard to achieve at home without a smoker.

Same here, growing up in the '80s in Ottawa.

Tonight's dinner: Curried Chicken Breast (Light bread crumb w/yellow curry, hot curry, garamasala, and cumin, sauteed in butter and canola) w/Kashmiri Chili infused Basmati rice, and sauteed Asparagus, w/fresh ginger, and garlic.
A quenelle of Lime-Ginger Aioli sits atop the chicken breast w/fresh lime zest.

Ribs were on sale again so that’s what was for dinner:

No pics, but tonight I made a classic roast chicken seasoned with herbes de Provence, a dish of baked cauliflower with a gruyère-fontina Mornay sauce, and asparagus vinaigrette, and now I'm lying awake in bed pondering an existential question: why did I also make a flourless cake with a pound of dark chocolate containing 92% cocoa and eat a piece of it after dinner?

A variation on Steak Frites was my dinner last night.

Sea Salt and Black Pepper Crusted Ribeye Steak, roasted Broccoli and I made Potato Galette. In this case, thinly shaved potato w/a mandolin, put down in layers in butter and cooked to a crispy finish then salted.
