Food Thread: Pork Ribs And Bacon...A Match Made In Heaven...And Posole!

Pairing foods can be loads of fun, especially when one stumbles upon an interesting combination that at first glance is sort of odd, but ends up working out really, really well.

In this case it is Broccoli Rabe sauteed with garlic served with pork ribs. It works because...well...both foods taste good, but also because the slight bitterness of the broccoli rabe is a very nice counterpoint to the sweetness of the ribs (I finish my ribs on the grill with a sprinkle of brown sugar or honey and more of my dry rub). it also has textural and color contrast, so it's pretty much a win in every category.

The problem with this sort of overthinking of cooking is that while it appeals to my obsessive-compulsive side, it's also a big waste of time in many cases. I can't think of a vegetable or side that wouldn't go well with pork ribs, and that is true of lots and lots of dishes.

For instance, I think that pork ribs with a side of bacon is an excellent pairing. Or, for that matter, bacon with a side of pork ribs. or you can get really weird and it will still work. Beef ribs with a side of pork ribs!

******
Here is my yearly admonition to keep it simple during Thanksgiving. That doesn't mean that you can't make your favorite multi-step green-bean casserole recipe, with home-grown fried onions and heirloom beans and nutmeg you harvested yourself from the South Seas. And by all means make more of everything than you and your entire block can possibly eat in a week.

But the point is to enjoy your friends and family, and getting stuck in the kitchen prevents you from doing just that...unless your horrid second cousin with the goiter and the hard-left politics is coming. In which case...

******
Finally! That teasing layabout Jack Sucio who served glorious posole at the recent Texas Moron Meet-up has finally come through with the recipe. Yes...threats of violence were involved, but I will stoop to everything in pursuit of good food, and this was very good food!

Here is a PDF of the recipe, which I have not tested. So if Jack Sucio has left out some vital ingredients or steps just because, then blame him!

******
Commenter "Papa Boule" has a couple of suggestions!

Wondering about 2 things possibly you could do:
A pot roast event. I like pot roast. It's so American. (Spare me the Dutch oven and historical references -- we saved pot roast from European corruption and slavery just as we saved Western civilization before those ponces tore it all up with their world wars).

More "dinner for a dime" stuff -- depressing, but with the economic conditions coming in the next 5-10 years (not even the Return of the Trump can fix the mess "FJB & Crew" is putting America in), both useful and necessary.

And he put his money where his mouth is by providing his own pot roast recipe. It's a classic, which is not a criticism. On the contrary, there is a reason why some recipes have survived as classics...because they work!
******
I'm one of those stubborn people who refuses to laugh at Seinfeld.

But some of you might, and commenter "Doof" sent this link on the off chance that some of you enjoy the show.

Seinfeld: The 14 Best And Funniest Food Moments From Throughout The Series

I'm being a bit hyperbolic...I guess it is funny at times, but I think it is admired more for being different than for being funny.

******
One of the maddeningly irritating things about too many food writers is their insistence on reporting food trends as if those trends are the arbiters of good food.
Congrats to Avocado, You're Allowed to Be Normal Now
Gee...thanks for the permission to treat avocados just like we treat every other food. This really is a silly article, but it exposes the conceit of food writers who think they drive taste, rather than the more obvious and rational explanation that as ingredients and techniques are discovered by professional and amateur cooks, we decide whether we like or dislike them.

Kale...I'm looking at you!...or dozens of other foods pushed relentlessly by desperate writers and editors. They can criticize avocados all they want, but there is a reason people eat them; they taste good.

[Hat Tip: redc1c4]

******
This is from a mostly-mail-order Italian deli that has pretty good prices on some things, and an amazing selection of stuff that can be difficult to find. But I'm not touting them for that, because many people have access to products via the internet that were impossible to find just a few years ago.

Here are some fun recipes for fall using pasta...something I don't find autumnal, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

10 Cheesy Baked Pasta Dishes for Fall

There are some hipster ingredients that irritate me just a bit. Kale. KALE? What the hell is kale doing in pasta?

But for the most part these are solid recipes that can be modified for personal preference...like swapping out the kale and adding bacon.

******
Avocados sans thumbprints, beef short ribs that have meat on them (not the stupid little sliver of bone they sneak into the packages), carrots that don't taste like stalky chalk, spare bottles of Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon, an herb garden that actually produces herbs (but no basil!), well-marbled NY strip steaks and elk backstrap to: cbd dot aoshq at gmail dot com.

And don't think that you are off the hook with maple syrup and French Toast: I'm watching you...all of you! And I am watching you perverts who shake Manhattans and keeping a list for the Burning Times.

I salt and pepper, brown thoroughly, remove from pot, caramalize some chunky carrot, celery and onion, garlic last. deglaze with broth and a little wine, add the roast, bring liquid up halfway, braise covered at 325 for 4 hours (or until fork tender.) Turning every 30 minutes. Defat the jooses, thicken sligjtly back on the stove. Pass the taters and a nice stiff spurdough bread with buttuh!!!!

You can cut almost any of the primal cuts into steaks. The brisket and plate may be too tough, but you can marinade those.

77 Our gaming group did a Thanksgiving meal last night. I happened to have just picked up the Betty Crocker Hostess Cookbook, so I turned to the Thanksgiving section and made giblet gravy from the turkey, and pumpkin chiffon pie with a mincemeat layer.

I also used its instructions for the turkey, but they were bog-standard; except for apparently not using the roasting pan’s cover for the initial baking, which I ignored. I know with chickens, covered and then a short uncovered time at the end makes a much better roast bird.

When no one brought a fruit salad or potato, I also brought out some leftovers, a gelatin salad from The New Joys of Jell-O (Under-the-Sea Pear Salad) and some orange-glazed sweet potato from the Better Homes and Gardens Holiday Cook Book.

85 Spinach beats kale -- more versatile at the same relative price and nutritional amount.

Posted by: Dr. Varno at November 14, 2021 04:34 PM (vuisn)

86 Another easy T-day side: Apricot Glazed Carrots
2 lbs carrots cut on the diagonal
3 T butter
1/3 cup apricot preserves
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 - 1 tsp fresh grated orange peel
2 tsp lemon juice
Cool carrots in salted water until just tender, about 20 min. Drain. Melt butter and stir in preserves until blended. Add nutmeg, salt, orange peel and lemon juice. Toss carrots in mixture until well coated. Garnish with parsley.

87 Kale is great for kale chips...take out the rib...cook on parchment at 300 degrees for 15-30 minutes (if you make too much at once and don't even out the pieces like me, you remove the crisp pieces every 5 minutes and keep letting the non-crisp finish) - s/p, olive oil, and any seasoning you like...

Very nice light snack...an uber-allergy and dietary need friendly when you need that in the house...

I only make them when kale is uber-cheap...but I'm not gonna turn down kale when it's uber-cheap...

118 We had a side dish that was only made for Thanksgiving and the meal after midnight mass (which was just a copy of the Thanksgiving menu). It was carrots and turnips, boiled together and mashed with an old style potato masher. We always had mashed spuds as well but it was like a slightly sweeter version.

The carrots and turnips recipe predates me. Certainly it was cheap and tasted good. Also, turnips may not have been available year round back then (I don't recall them in the store any other time) so it might have just been a cold weather item.

Onions or other additional veggies like green peppers just seem to burn. But add them later. And always add garlic with other herbs.

I cook bacon in it, which is like oven baking, but doesn't splatter all over the inside of my oven, and can change the crispness with just a difference of a minute or two. It's a square, about 12-14", so may require a little more counter space than others.

162 The spousal unit found a great pork loin recipe on the Ewe Toob. Rolled out a sheet of puff pastry to the appropriate size, placed a few slices of deli ham in the center of the pastry. Topped that with shredded Parm and then with a bit of sauteed onion and garlic. Topped off the stack with a seared tenderloin. Wrapped the enclosures with the puff pastry, using egg yolk (liberally!) to coat everything so it would seal. Bake 350 for almost an hour. Our oven ran hot so the time was reduced slightly.

Slice and enjoy! It was so good that friends were raving about it the next day.

172 The Posole recipe I use is from a 1970s-era Betty Crocker Mexican Cooking book. It's very good, but it's a 2-parter; first you have to make the Pinto Beans recipe, which is pretty simple - pinto beans simmered with chopped onion, vegetable oil and a slice of bacon. Then you use the Pinto Beans in the Posole recipe. I set aside 2 days to make it, and it makes quite a lot, so I freeze it in smaller containers to have for lunches later in the month.

178 MMmmm,...Thanksgiving!
The family had a mini-Tday last week because we couldn't wait for TURKEY.
Since SLV-ette is disabled, I do a lot of the cooking, but the mini-ettes (daughters) are a HUGE help.
I know many folks have their own ways of cooking the bird, but my favorite is to rotissiere it for a couple hours.
But before that it MUST soak for 12-24 hours in a good brine.
I've used several brine recipes over the years, and you can choose which one suits your taste, but most brine recipes leave out one ingredient that I think is key: BOURBON!
A little alcohol opens up the essential oil in many spices, so I always include a double shot of bourbon in my brine to make sure all the flavors bloom to their full potential.

186 Funny bit on the local news re: Thanksgiving food availability. Young reporterette was reporting from a store and as a prop she has one of those small carts with 1 can of cranberry sauce, 1 box of stovetop and one shrink-wrapped sweet potato. She mentions supply chain issues causing shelves empty of the three -- oh no, more covid fear porn!

But yes, it was silly because she assumed (? or just made it look like) there aren't alternatives to the canned cranberry and boxed stuffing? Last I checked one didn't need to await cargo ships from China to acquire bread and a bag of fresh cranberries, lol! And the *1* sweet potato. . .

I've had the Joule about 2 years now. Works great. It saved us when we lost our hot water heaters last winter. I was able to heat the bath tub full of water so we could get a nice hot bath. It also cooks accurately. I like the nice slim, minimalist design. But you have to have a blu tooth device to use it, like a phone or iPad. For some that makes it a no go. Our house is now pretty smart so it doesn't bother me. I don't have experience with other brands so nothing to compare with but I do love my Joule!

I can't recommend my sous vide machine. You see, I spent too much of my life programming (writing code) and every key stroke was a moment off my life, so I learned early to cut and paste and limit keystrokes.

So most of the time I sous vide in the higher range. But the sous vide starts (defaults at startup) at 130 degrees. With my history being what it is I quickly figure out you can hit the (minus) key and it will start back at the highest temp which is around 205 degrees. Which makes the most succulent chicken you could ever experience.

Yeah, well some programmers don't realize that other people who were programmers are lazy and don't trap for such an error. So the sous vide goes rogue, out of control, boils off all the water, then begins to heat the plastic bags into imminent kitchen fire range.

I mentioned all of this in an Amazon review but for some reason it was never published.

They had spare ribs they cut into double rib pieces for grilling. Salted and sat for an hour.

They got their grill hot and put them on for 6 minute, turned them for 4 minutes then another 6 minutes on the first side on a lower flame..

They were going for 185 temp.. which they got and declared them done.

How could spare ribs be done that quickly?

Anyone here ever try a quick spare rib cook like this?

Can't disagree. I can't find a good sous vide temp that works either. Going longer time doesn't make much difference. So basically getting the slicer out and making really tasty roast beef sandwiches out of it. At 9.99 a pound seems senseless. I know cheaper cuts get tenderer over time.

251 Hmmm. I spent some time reading the reviews for both the 1000 and 1200 W Anova units. One beef was that they went from a metal impeller to a plastic one (sounds like KitchenAid and their cheap mixer gearing) with the attendant loss of durability.

Another one that seems to apply particularly to the 1200 W unit and might be responsible for the sale price: the WiFi refuses to connect properly to many phones and a lot of folks think it's defective firmware.

Dammit, why can't companies produce a quality product anymore?

Now I'm looking at the Breville Joule lin-duh mentioned but none of the pictures seem to show any way to clamp the unit to the container. If it's stable enough on that small pad at the end of the unit, that might not be a problem.

253 We lucked out today. A local store had frozen turkeys for 39 cents a pound. Got an 18 pounder for seven bucks. This won't be for Thanksgiving which is going to be my mom's beef stroganoff recipe. We'll brine and roast it this week, take the meat off the bones and freeze what won't be used right away. Mrs. JTB isn't overly fond of turkey but turkey sandwiches are fine and I like turkey salad. We'll get a lot of meals off that bird.

Funny but a meal to me is comprised of a meat and two side or a meat, one side and a salad.

two meats and a side of meat is also an option

I made a tri tip at 127 degrees for four+ hours and it was excellent.

I chilled it before cooking so it wouldn't get overdone when I grilled it.

Sirloin is similar, so I would start there.

256 I bought some USDA prime sirloins from Sams a few weeks ago and put them on the grill like I always did and they were tough chewy pieces of dog food. We are not getting the same quality of meat we got 18 months ago. The same goes for spare ribs.

Which is why, as soon as the house is finished, we are starting to raise calves. Worked with a manager who had a full working ranch. He said he would buy his meat at the grocery store because he made too much on the cows. I told him, but you don't know a thing about grocery store beef compared to beef you raise.

265 In terms of beef prices, people may not be aware of the drought we had this summer/fall. When I asked the butcher about his mingy short ribs, he said ranchers sent their beef to market way early because they didn't have the hay to feed them. Only one cutting this year--usually two plus grass left over to feed them till October.

Also they cut back their herds, so the high prices may well continue into next summer.

They each have charms. I love them all.

Ribeye is probably my favorite. Good cross between beef flavor and tenderness. Tenderloin can be great, but it's texture over flavor. Sirloin can also be great. It has more beef flavor but has a tougher bite.

With sous vide, chuck can be excellent, but it takes time.

I just looked it up. It's actually not a bourbon, but simply "corn whiskey". It doesn't qualify as a bourbon because it is aged in small barrels (5 gallons) for a short time (6 months).

I'd still like to try it though.

Big boars can be nasty; they often have "boar taint", the cause of which is debated, but meat with it smells very bad during cooking, and tastes worse.

The best wild pig is from

Pigs are wonderful converters of forest mast (think acorns) which is otherwise almost inedible, into protein. There is some evidence that when the Middle East was deforested (the "cedars of Lebanon"), pigs competed for human-edible foodstuffs, which led to their banning as a foodway.

426 Hubbysharn used to make us Steak Diane for special occasions. Toss the filet and bring me a trough of the Diane sauce. That and a good loaf of bread... I'm set!

My fav too. Can't make it as good as mom did.

427 I need to learn how to can. I can vacuum pack and freeze, but I need to learn how to do it without electricity.

Buy a canner, get the Ball Blue canning book, and lids and jars.
Start with acid food like fruits so you don't have to worry about botulism, then go to green beans and meats when you are comfortable.

I worked in a green bean cannery and I promise you the people working there were not up to doing complex things, so you can do it too.

430 Speaking of beef ribs and spare ribs, I made an American version of a Sunday sauce last week using beef short ribs and St. Louis ribs instead of meatballs, sausage, and bracciole.
