Why I Love This Recipe
I was listening to Ibrahim Ferrer and the Buena Vista Social Club, and the inspiration came from the music.
Ingredients You'll Need
1 whole spare rib slab
dry rub (garlic, onion, cayenne, paprika, etc.)
1/2 stick of butter
salt/pepper
mirepoix (50% onion, 25% carrot, 25% celery)
3 cups brown stock
1/2 cup wine
rosemary or other fresh herbs
1 cup white long grain rice
1 cup coconut water
1 cup chicken(or brown) stock
1 red bell pepper
2 cups cilantro
Directions
coat spare rib slab with dry rub
season ribs with salt and pepper
add 1/4 stick of butter and equal parts vegetable oil to hot stew pot
when oil and butter are hot add the portioned ribs to sear (do not crowd the ribs or they will steam)
when a nice crust has formed on the ribs add mirepoix, brown stock, wine, and herbs
liquid should cover the ribs at least half way up
allow to cook on a simmer for 1 hour
Use braising liquid in combination with a brown ruex to make a pan sauce
pull meat from the bone and let it simmer in the pan sauce
add 1/4 stick of butter to pot and heat
add rice and allow every grain to be coated by the butter
in blender combine coconut water, stock, and chopped cilantro
add the mixed liquid to the rice before the grains begin to brown
reduce to a simmer and cover until rice is done, add chopped bell peppers 10 minutes before rice is done to add color and texture
Presenation:
Remove rib meat from sauce and place over a pillow of rice
add whole chives as a garnish
