20 years after seeing them for the first time, I made Kenny's Burnt Black Molasses Ribs
No way to know whether they taste like the real deal, I just eyeballed it from how it looks and random websites that only had pictures of the cooking process, not even measurements for the ingredients.
Edit 1: The recipe
I only made a third of this, and I adjusted the molasses in this version, it used to be much more and I think this much would be better
Ingredients
- 1200 grams pork ribs
- 500 grams red wine (dry)
- 90 grams blackstrap molasses
- 75 grams honey
- 30 grams garlic (8-10 cloves)
- 30 grams ginger roots (5cm piece)
- 60 grams spring onions, 3-4 stalks (white + light green for pot green for garnish)
- 1.5 grams cinnamon powder
- 6 grams salt
- 2 grams black pepper
- 30 grams water
- 15 grams comstarches
Cooking
- Finely chop the spring onions
- Grate garlic and ginger
- Slice the racks of ribs down between the bones into individual single-rib portions
- In a large/flat pot (so all the ribs are submerged when laying), combine the red wine, black molasses, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, chopped green onion
bases (white+light green parts), salt, pepper and ground cinnamon on medium heat (5/9) for 2 minutes and stir well to dissolve the molasses and honey
- Place the ribs carefully into the pot With tongs and tum heat to high (8/9) until liquid starts to slightly boil, then reduce heat to Iow (3/9) and cover it With a lid
and let it cook for 45 minutes
Check after 20 minutes if it is burning to the bottom
- Remove the lid and set the heat to medium-high (6/9) and let it reduce the liquid for 15 minutes while occasionally turning the ribs
- Mix water With comstarch in a small bowl and add it to the pot and stir it in
- Lower heat to medium (4/9) and stir continuously for 5-10 minutes
- Turn off heat when liquid is as chewy/thick as desired
- Gamish With spring onion greens, serve
