Irish red BBQ ribs A 2 racks pork back or side ribs 1 L Irish red beer ½ cup malt vinegar B 1 tbsp 1 tbsp 1 tbsp 1 tbsp 1 tbsp
black pepper salt, kosher paprika brown sugar savoury
C 2 cups apricot jam 1 tbsp grated ginger 2 tbsp chipotle paste 1 orange, zested and juiced
Place ribs in large zip lock bag, and pour the beer and the vinegar into the bag. Seal and let sit in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Remove meat from bag, and transfer liquid to pot and save. Mix part B together and rub the meat well with the dry spice blend. Cooking wise, the mantra should be slow and low. Whether you use a smoker, or a BBQ, or your oven, the basic principle is the same. Place the meat in a roasting pan, cover, but leave some ventilation for steam, and cook for at least 5 hours at low heat, about 200 -250 Âş F. While ribs are cooking, bring marinade liquid to boil in pot, add part C and simmer. Blend with hand blender until smooth. Set aside to cool. To finish, pull the ribs out of the pan, they should be tender, but not falling apart. Brush liberally with the sauce, and bake or bbq for 20 mins, brush with the sauce several times to build a nice coat. Serve with a pint of Irish red beer.
Recipe 1
Pale Ale Mini Donuts 1/2 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (fresh ground is best) 1 teaspoon cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons dried buttermilk powder 2 large eggs 3 oz. YellowBelly Pale Ale 4 tablespoons melted butter, cooled
Preheat oven to 375 ยบF. Melt butter and let cool. Sift all dry ingredients together into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter and beer until well-blended. Grease the donut pan with a generous amount of butter or shortening (can also use mini bundt pan). Pour the liquid blend into the dry ingredients all at once, and mix just until blended (do not overmix, or the donuts will be tough). Fill each donut form half full. Bake in the preheated oven in the middle rack for 8-9 minutes for mini donuts, 9-12 minutes for regular size donuts. The donuts should not be browned on top. Remove pan from oven, let cool for a minute, remove from pan and roll in powdered sugar. Chefs note: this recipe will work with any of our beers, with each coming out a bit different. Yields 6 regular donuts, or 24 mini donuts.
