From Bims Kitchen a Smoky Baobab BBQ Ribs Recipe

Hot Juan — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:32:14 +0000

Yummie RIB's!!!!

James Adedeji from Bims Kitchen has sent us his recipe for BBQ Ribs, which uses his new Smoky Baobab BBQ Sauce. His technique for cooking the ribs is quick and simple and from the look of the last picture there is not much meat left on them bones.

Ingredients

4 whole racks of baby back ribs
20g any Bim’s Kitchen Spice Mix
1 tbs demerara sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 jar Bim’s Kitchen Smoky Baobab BBQ Sauce
300ml water

Method

Thoroughly combine the sugar, salt and spice mix and rub in to each rack of ribs. Leave the seasoned ribs for at least 15 minutes and then place into a suitable oven tray.

Carefully add about 300ml of water to the bottom of the tray and then seal the tray completely with aluminium foil. Place tray into an oven pre-heated to 250°C, cook for 30 minutes and then reduce temperature to 170°C for another 30 minutes.

Remove tray from oven and carefully open to let steam out. Baste the ribs, which should now be quite tender, thoroughly with the BBQ sauce. Leave to sit for at least 15 minutes and then place ribs on an oven tray and cook in the middle shelf of the oven for 20 – 25 minutes at about 160°C basting occasionally with more BBQ sauce if needed.

Tips: This recipe also works nicely with beef ribs but cooking times may need to be adjusted depending on the thickness of the ribs. The ribs can also be finished off on an outside bbq for an even smokier finish. Our Hot Tangy BBQ Sauce can be used in place of the Smoky Baobab BBQ Sauce.

Hot Juan — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 09:34:41 +0000

This is our first Top 10 of 2012, and it is all change, a complete surprise was www.simpsonsseeds.co.uk comming in at #6, this is the first time they have even been near the top 10 as far as I can remember, Also after a long run at #1 www.hot-head.co.uk has dropped to #3, must be a sign that all that? Christmas? shopping is over again.

Another? amazing? move has been how fast www.dartmoorchillifarm.com has climbed back in to the Top 10 and almost to the #1 slot, following their request we have removed there other site from the list, but it would have been number #4 on the list otherwise.

And what can we say, we are please to be the #1 Chilli Web site in the UK for the first top 10 of 2012, I wonder how long we can keep the top spot.

How simple is it to make a Chinthe Byan Curry?

Hot Juan — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:18:43 +0000

Chinthe Burmese Curry

Dean from family firm Chinthe has sent us a recipe and video that show how quickly you can make a Byan Curry using their Burmese Curry Paste, as you will see from the video, this could not be simpler to make, and I have to say it tastes incredible.

Chinthe (pronounced chin-thay) was started in 1974 by Bertie and Barbara, who were Emigrants from Burma in the 60s, they began to make and sell Burmese condiments to supplement their grocery trade. News soon spread and the demand for Chinthe products grew. They are now into the third generation of the family producing Chinthe products with the same authentic recipes passed down from their Grandparents.

FYI – Chinthe is the name for the leogryph that guards the entrances of Pagodas and Temples in Burma.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons of Chinthe Burmese Curry Paste
500g of Pork
2 tablespoons of oil
1½ cups of water
2 large onions

Method

Slice your onion
Cube your pork into bite sized chunks
Heat (low – medium) the oil in a deep pan. Sauté your onions by adding them to the oil for 7 – 10 minutes until they become wilted and translucent.
Add the Chinthe Burmese Curry paste and stir well. Cook the spices off for 2-3 minutes
Add the Pork, season with salt as required and mix in well
Add the water, stir well and bring to the boil
Reduce heat to low simmer. Simmer for 20-30 mins

Serve with rice or noodles

This is Dean first video recipe, we hope to have more to follow.
