Author: 
Recipe type: Pork
Serves: 4-6
 
The Superbowl is upon us, and these magnificent fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are the star attraction. The ribs are slow-roasted, but despite the extended cooking time, there really is very little prep time and effort required to enjoy this masterpiece.
Ingredients

  • Salt and cracked black pepper
For the Basting:
  • 30ml Olive oil

  • 15ml Apple cider vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. The Superbowl is upon us, and these magnificent fall-off-the-bone baby back ribs are the star attraction. The ribs are slow-roasted, but despite the extended cooking time, there really is very little prep time and effort required to enjoy this masterpiece.
  2. You will need 3 to 4 full racks of pork loin ribs, otherwise known as baby back ribs.
  3. Place the racks in a baking pan and season both sides of the ribs liberally with salt and pepper.
  4. Cover the pan with foil, making sure the ribs are meaty-side up.
  5. Bake the ribs in a preheated oven at 135c or 275f for 3.5 hours until absolutely tender.
  6. A half hour before the baking time is up, measure out 30ml olive oil, chop a half cup of onion, measure a teaspoon of ground cumin, 125ml tomato sauce, 15ml hot chilli sauce, 30ml light brown sugar and 15ml apple cider vinegar.
  7. Place a pan over medium heat and saute the chopped onion in the olive oil until translucent, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Add the cumin and stir this until fragrant.
  9. Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir to combine.
  10. Allow this to cook for 2 to 3 minutes then remove from the heat and put it aside.
  11. Remove the ribs from the oven and preheat the grill element of your oven to maximum.
  12. Uncover the ribs and brush the basting liberally onto both sides of the racks. Be careful when turning them as they will literally fall apart.
  13. Place the ribs under the grill for 4 to 5 minutes to caramelize.
  14. Remove the ribs from the oven and serve piping hot with the accompaniments of your choice, and loads of serviettes.

Slow Roasted Glazed Pork Knuckle - Slow Roasted Pickled Eisbein - Roasted Sweet & Sour Pork Knuckle
Author: 
Recipe type: Pork Roast
Serves: 2-4
 
Easter is here and today we're going to slow roast a couple of pickled pork knuckles with an amazing sweet and sour glaze.
Ingredients
  • 2 x 1kg Pork knuckles (cured / pickled)
  • 4 Medium onions
  • 4 Large carrots
  • 400ml Chicken stock
  • 120ml Caster sugar
  • 90ml White wine vinegar
  • 60ml Light soy sauce
  • 30ml Cornstarch dissolved in a little water
Instructions
  1. To start, slice through the skin down the side of the knuckle that is closest to the bone. Lift the skin and use your knife to peel it away from the meat, leaving as much fat behind as possible.
  2. Save the skins to make crackling.
  3. Score the fat on all sides of the pork knuckles. This allows the basting glaze to get through to the meat infusing it with flavor.
  4. Chop 4 carrots and 4 onions and spread over the bottom of a large roasting pan.
  5. Place the pork knuckles on top of the vegetables with the fattier side facing upwards.
  6. Pour 400ml of chicken stock into the pan around the pork.
  7. Combine 120ml of caster sugar, 90ml of white wine vinegar and 60ml of light soy sauce and whisk these thoroughly until all of the sugar has dissolved.
  8. Brush the basting liberally over the pork, making sure to brush the ends as well.
  9. Cover the pan with foil and bake the pork in a pre-heated oven at 120c or 250f for 2 hours, undisturbed.
  10. After this time, unwrap the pan and baste the pork liberally again. Return the pan to the oven and reset the temperature to 250c or 480f.
  11. Roast the pork for a further 45 minutes, basting liberally every 15 minutes.
  12. Remove the pork from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
  13. Pour the saucy vegetables into a large pan and heat this over medium high heat. Dissolve 30ml or 2 tablespoons of corn starch in a little water.
  14. As the pan comes to a boil, pour the slurry into the gravy. Stir this and allow to simmer for 60 seconds until it has thickened.
  15. To serve the pork, cut through the meat along the length of the joint down the side that is closest to the bone.
  16. Notice how the meat has almost totally separated from the bone.
  17. Peel the one side away and cut it free, followed by the other side.
  18. Serve your masterpiece drenched in the thick gravy with the accompaniments of your choice and enjoy.

Today we're making something really interesting, and you saw it first on Whats4Chow. These circular kebabs aren't just delicious, they give you a novel and attractive way to present an otherwise run-of-the-mill dish.

Jamaican jerk chicken can be as mild or as hot as you like. You can adjust the heat by simply adding more or less cayenne and chilli flakes. The measurements in this recipe will give you a result on the milder side, but with tons of flavor. I am going to make jerk chicken kebabs and a couple of jerk chicken burgers using the TNK Stingray multitools feature in the previous episode.
Ingredients
  • 9-12 Chicken thighs, deboned
For the Jerk Spice
  • 15ml Onion flakes
  • 10ml Dried Thyme
  • 5ml Dried parsley
  • 7.5ml Whole allspice
  • 2.5ml Ground cinnamon
  • 5ml Whole black peppercorns
  • 2.5ml Cayenne pepper
  • 5ml Paprika
  • 2.5ml Chilli flakes
  • 1.25ml Ground cumin
  • 5ml Dried garlic granules
  • 10ml Salt
  • 1.25ml Ground nutmeg
  • 10ml Sugar
  • 10ml Dried chives
Instructions
  1. To make the spice blend, combine the onion flakes, thyme, parsley, allspice, cinnamon, black peppercorns, cayenne pepper, paprika, chilli flakes, ground cumin, garlic granules, salt, nutmeg, sugar and dried chives.
  2. Put this all into your spice grinder and zap it until fine. Transfer the jerk spice to a sprinkle bottle.
  3. Place your deboned chicken thighs in a large non-reactive pan, skin side down.
  4. Sprinkle a generous dose of the spice over the chicken. Generous can not be overstated... you want to use a third of the spice on this side.
  5. Turn the chicken thighs over and dose the skin side with another third of the spice.
  6. Cover the pan with cling wrap and place this in your refrigerator overnight.
  7. The following day, cut the chicken into cubes. I have held 2 thighs back to cook as jerk chicken burger patties.
  8. Thread the chicken cubes onto skewers and you're ready to rock.
  9. To demonstrate the larger of the 2 Stingray multitools, I am going to barbecue most of the chicken, saving some for the pan to demonstrate the smaller model.
  10. Heat a barbecue skillet over medium high heat and brush this with oil and add the kebabs and jerk chicken burger.
  11. Turn the kebabs every 3 minutes, remembering that they have 4 sides, giving you a total time of 12 minutes.
  12. Watch how well the multitools toothed edge lifts end turns the kebabs with absolutely no problem.
  13. Grill the jerk burger for 4 minutes per side. Here's a shot of the lifter mechanism at work turning the burger.
  14. Using the prong to lift the burger from the skillet is effortless, and you can see the true genius behind the launch mechanism that gently squeezes the chicken of of the prongs onto the plate.
  15. Remove the kebabs from the barbecue and serve immediately.
  16. Now across to the non stick pan. Heat the pan over medium high heat and add a little butter.
  17. Add the kebabs and jerk burger to the pan. Grill them for 12 minutes, or 3 minutes per side. Grill the jerk burger for 8 minutes, turning halfway through.
  18. Here we can see just how simply the multitool turns the kebabs. The toothed edge really does make a difference.
  19. And again, here is the lifter turning the burger.
  20. Remove the chicken from the pan and serve with the accompaniments of your choice.
  21. And there we have it.... beautifully spiced and flavor Jamaican jerk chicken kebabs and burger patties.

Sugar Chilli Pork Roast - The MOST Tender Roast Ever!!! Perfect for the 4th of July!!!

Serves: 6-8
 
Just a few weeks ago I featured delicious sugar chilli pork neck steaks. A few viewers asked whether it is possible to make whole sugar chilli pork neck roast. So I put this my list of things to try and it turned out magnificently, except for the fact that it turned out so juicy and so tender that it was quite difficult to slice cleanly.... and I quite honestly don't see that as a problem. Alternatively, shred the pork and serve as deliciously tender and sumptuous pulled pork.
Ingredients
  • 1.5kg / 3.5lb Whole deboned pork neck
  • 80g Demerara sugar (or treacle sugar)
  • 20ml Coarse cracked black pepper
  • 20ml Dried chilli flakes
  • 20ml Himalayan rock salt (fine)
Instructions
  1. To start you need a whole deboned pork neck, around 1.5kg or 3.5 pounds.
  2. In a bowl, combine the demerara sugar, coarse cracked black pepper, dried chilli flakes and Himalayan rock salt. I prefer this salt as it contains no iodine, and imparts a slight acidity to the food resulting in a much rounder flavor.
  3. Start sprinkling this mixture over the pork and pressing it firmly into surface of the meat. Continue until the slab of meat is coated well and all of the sugar chilli rub is used.
  4. Place the pork in a roasting tin and scrape any over overrun rub over the top of the pork.
  5. I am adding boiled potato wedges to the pan as well.
  6. Roast the pork in a preheated oven at 250c or 480f for 60 minutes undisturbed.
  7. On removing the pork from the oven, the first thing you will notice is the amazing charred crust that has formed on the pork.... not to mention the insanely incredible aroma.
  8. By this stage the potatoes will also be well roasted and will have absorbed some of the amazing pan flavors.
  9. Serve this immediately with the accompaniments of your choice.
  10. I will be publishing a video shortly where I will show you the trick to these amazing roast potatoes.
  11. Stay tuned for our next episode where we're looking a very simple way to distil alcohol at home with basic kitchen equipment, and I mean basic.

Sticky chicken is awesome in any description, but this sticky mocha coffee chicken is at least a few steps ahead of the competition. A few episodes ago we introduced xanthan gum, the thickener of the future. This recipe owes its amazing stickiness and phenomenal mouth-feel to this simple ingredient
Ingredients
  • 150ml Light Soy sauce
  • 125ml Brown sugar
  • 60ml Sherry
  • 80ml Strong brewed coffee (at least double strength)
  • 60ml Olive oil
  • 8 Chicken pieces (drumsticks & thighs)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. Combine the light soy sauce, brown sugar, sherry, strong black coffee, and oil.
  2. Normally there would be no way to combine the oil with the rest of the ingredients, and this is where xanthan gum comes in. Xanthan gum is a strong hydrocolloid which with its bipolar nature will effectively bind the oil and water based ingredients.
  3. Add the xanthan gum and zap the mixture for 60 seconds using your stick blender. You can also do this in a regular blender.
  4. Place the chicken pieces into a vacuum packing bag. If you don't have a vacuum packer, use a ziplock bag and extract as much air as possible.
  5. Pour the marinade.
  6. If you're using basic front-loading vacuum packer, it is a good idea to elevate the machine. This allows you to extract the air from the bag without sucking liquid into the vacuum pump, which will almost certainly damage the machine.
  7. It it also a good idea to do second seal to ensure that the bag does not leak.
  8. Transfer the bag to your refrigerator and allow the chicken to marinate for at least four hours.
  9. After the marinating time, cut the bag open and empty everything into a tray or container of some sort.
  10. Heat a heavy non-stick pan or a well seasoned cast iron pan over medium high heat. Do not add butter or oil.
  11. Lift the chicken pieces fron the marinade and place them in the pan skin side up.... obviously with the drumsticks this could be a little confusing.
  12. Fry the chicken for 3 minutes per side. It may appear that the chicken is burning, but this is simply the marinade becoming super-caramelized.
  13. After both sides have had 3 minutes, turn the chicken pieces back to their first side and pour in the marinade.
  14. Turn the heat down to medium and allow the chicken to simmer for 15 minutes.
  15. At the 15 minute mark, turn the pieces over and continue simmering the chicken for a further 5 minutes.
  16. Make sure to shake the pan back and forward every minute to ensure that the chicken is well coated with the sticky sauce.
  17. Remove the chicken from the pan and serve with the accompaniments of your choice. As a hint these sticky chicken marvels go incredibly well with prawn crackers.

Jagermeister has become a household name in the realm drinks. Made with 56 herbs and spices it makes a perfect base for flavoring red meats and game. In this case we're going to rustle up a deliciously tender and succulent Jagermeister rump steak. This recipe is courtesy of a friend of mine who owns and runs a pub and grub and golf range just down our street called "At the 19th".
Ingredients
  • 4 x 300g Rump steaks
  • 90ml Jagermeister
  • 220ml Coca Cola
  • 220ml Worcestershire sauce
  • 30ml Tomato sauce
  • 30ml Demerara sugar
  • 5ml Salt
  • 30g Butter
Instructions
  1. Starting with the marinade, combine the coca cola, Worcestershire sauce, Jagermeister, Demerara sugar, salt, sugar and tomato sauce. Mix this until the solids are dissolved.
  2. On with the cooking. Here I have 2 large rump steaks, about 600g each.... cut to an inch thick.
  3. I am going to cut these in half to give 4 portions.
  4. Place the steaks in a baking tin and pour in the marinade. Drag the steaks through the marinade making sure that they are coated all over. Put these aside for 2 hours to marinate.
  5. After 2 hours, transfer the steaks to a platter and pour the marinade into a pan..
  6. Bring the liquid to boil and let this reduce to a syrup stirring continuously.
  7. Put the syrup aside.
  8. I have reduced half of the syrup as I am only going to grill 2 steaks for this demonstration. The other 2 are for my lunch tomorrow.
  9. Heat a heavy pan over medium high heat and add 30g of butter. Add the steaks to the pan.
  10. Grill the steaks for 10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes. After every turn wipe the steaks around the pan to pick up the caramelized juices.
  11. After 10 minutes, the steaks are almost done and will have a beautiful dark crust.
  12. Lift the steaks from the pan and wipe them through the marinade syrup, then return them to the pan for a further 60 seconds on each side.
  13. And there you have it..... the perfectly grilled Jagermeister rump steak.

How to Make Authentic Worcestershire Sauce - Make Real Worcestershire Sauce at Home!!!
Author: 
Recipe type: Sauces
Cuisine: British
 
Worcestershire sauce was popularised by Lea and Perrins, and has since become a household name. Many other manufacturers have launched their own imitations of this legendary sauce, however only reading the label will tell you how true they are to the original. If you're looking for the real deal, the key ingredients are anchovies and tamarind paste. This is how to make your own.
Ingredients
  • 250ml Apple cider vinegar
  • 2 Cloves garlic
  • 60g Chopped pickling onion
  • 15g Anchovy fillets
  • 30ml Honey
  • 30g Demerara sugar or molasses
  • 30g Tamarind paste
  • 5ml Chilli powder
  • 2.5ml Ground cloves
Instructions
  1. Add the apple cider vinegar, chopped onion and garlic, anchovy fillets, Demerara sugar or molasses, tamarind paste, chilli powder, ground cloves and honey to a small saucepan.
  2. Use your stick blender to machine this all until fine.
  3. Heat the sauce over medium heat until boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the liquid for 5 minutes stirring regularly.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and pour the liquid into a filter placed over a jug.
  5. Allow this to stand and drain. Give the paste a good stir every so often to encourage the retained liquid to drip through.
  6. After an hour or so the paste will be quite thick, and will have cooled entirely.
  7. Add 3 heaped teaspoons of the paste back into the liquid and stir it well to combine. This is your Worcestershire sauce.
  8. Pour the sauce into a sterilized bottle and store it in a cool shady spot.
  9. Save the remaining paste to add to soups, stews or to use as a steak rub.
  10. And there it is.... a wonderful batch of authentic Worcestershire sauce just waiting to be savored.

This sweet and sticky braised pork is out of this world. Marinated for days, this absolutely tender treat will become legend in your household.
Ingredients
  • 1kg Pork Shoulder, deboned, cut into 8mm slices
  • 180g Brown sugar
  • 3 Drops red food coloring (optional)
  • 125ml Ginger beer (or pineapple juice)
  • 60ml Light soy sauce
  • 2.5ml Garlic powder
  • 2 x 240ml Water
Instructions
  1. Pour the ginger beer, light soy sauce, brown sugar and garlic powder into a large food-safe container.
  2. Traditionally this recipe would use pineapple juice instead of ginger beer, but I just find the ginger beer gives it that extra something that makes it really special.
  3. In addition, if you want the traditional red color, you can achieve by adding 3 drops of food coloring. As this doesn't have any bearing on the taste, I leave it out.
  4. Stir the mixture until all of the sugar has dissolved. Place the pork shoulder in the marinade, transfer to your refrigerator and allow this to cure for 2 to 3 days, turning the meat each day.
  5. After the marinating, you will need to cook the pork in 2 batches. For each batch you will need 240ml of water. Place this in a large wok or pan, add half of the pork and half of the marinade. Bring it to a boil over medium high heat.
  6. Continue to boil, turning the meat every couple of minutes.
  7. After 10 to 15 minutes the water will have mostly evaporated leaving a thick sticky syrup. Continue turning and wiping the pork in the syrup until it develops a thick glaze.
  8. Remove the pork from the wok and keep it warm while you continue with next batch.
  9. Serve the pork hot with rice or noodles and pickled Asian ginger.

Dragon salt is an extremely versatile and tasty addition to your kitchen. It can be used to flavor roast chicken, grilled kebabs, steaks and pork. In this episode we're making the dragon salt and using it to flavor a batch of crispy deep fried chicken.
Ingredients
For the Dragon Salt
  • 10ml Himalayan rock salt
  • 30ml Ground black pepper
  • 30ml Garlic powder
  • 30ml Ground ginger
  • 30ml Chilli powder
  • 30ml Dried dill
  • 10ml Lemongrass powder
  • 15ml Smoked paprika
  • 10ml Dried basil
  • 10ml Celery salt
For the Rest
  • Chicken pieces
  • Oil for frying
  • All-purpose flour
  • 4 Eggs
Instructions
  1. Combine the Himalayan rock salt, ground black pepper, garlic powder, ground ginger, chilli powder, dried dill, lemon grass powder, smoked paprika, dried basil and celery salt.
  2. This is the dragon salt. For the purposes of our recipe, we need this to be really fine. To achieve this zap the powder in your spice blender until fine. Transfer the powder to a sprinkle bottle. Store any excess powder in an airtight container.
  3. Place the chicken pieces in a large roasting tin in a single layer and sprinkle the dragon salt liberally over the chicken. Turn the pieces over and repeat with the other side.
  4. Place this in your refrigerator for at least 4 hours to marinate.
  5. Place 2 cups of all-purpose flour in a large mixing bowl. Beat 4 eggs and place these in a large dish. (you may need more flour and eggs depending on how many chicken pieces you are coating)
  6. Take some of the flour and sprinkle this over a large platter. This is where the coated chicken will set, and the flour prevents the chicken coating from sticking to the platter.
  7. To coat the chicken, dredge the chicken in the flour. Dunk the chicken in the egg to wet all of the flour. Return the chicken to the flour to get a good solid coating. For the double dip, return the chicken to the egg to wet all of the flour, them back to the flour to get a good thick, solid coating. Transfer the chicken to the platter and continue with the remaining pieces. Allow the coating to set for 20 minutes.
  8. Half fill a large pan with oil and heat this to 160c or 320f. Fry the chicken in batches for 20 minutes per batch, turning once, halfway through.
  9. Remove the chicken from the oil and drain any excess on kitchen paper before serving.
