Guava Bbq Ribs Recipes

GUAVA CHIPOTLE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Generously salt and pepper ribs. Lay out ribs in a single layer, in roasting pan. Cook ribs for 3 hours, turning once midway through cooking time. Remove from oven and cool slightly. Pour off any fat from bottom of pan. When meat is cool enough to handle cut slabs into individual ribs.
• While ribs are cooking, saute onion and garlic in olive oil in a large stockpot, until soft. Add remaining ingredients, except molasses and guava paste/jelly and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, reducing liquid by half, approximately 1 hour. Sauce should be thick, but still loose enough to pour. Add molasses and guava to sauce and continue reducing for 10 to 15 minutes until thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If sauce becomes too thick, thin with extra guava nectar and/or beer. Season with salt and pepper.
• Coat ribs generously with sauce in roasting pan. Continue cooking ribs for 1 hour more, or until rib meat is soft and easily pulled from bone. Sauce will thicken and darken on ribs, so be sure to turn darker ribs over. Before serving, brush ribs with additional sauce and serve extra sauce on the side.

CHINESE-STYLE RIBS WITH GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• RIBS:.
• Light a grill.
• When the coals are covered with a light gray ash, push them to opposite sides of the grill and set a disposable drip pan in the center.
• If using a gas grill, turn off the center burners.
• In a bowl, combine the sugar, salt, dry mustard, Chinese five-spice powder, pepper, cinnamon and cloves.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the ribs.
• Pour the sherry into a spray bottle.
• Place the ribs on the hot grate above the drip pan and away from the coals, bony side down.
• Cover and grill for 30 minutes. Spray the ribs with sherry. Cover and grill for another 30 minutes.
• Shift the ribs around (but keep them bony side down) and spray once more with sherry.
• Cover and grill for about 30 minutes longer, until the meat is tender.
• Replenish the coals as necessary throughout grilling.
• Take the ribs off the grill and spread the coals out evenly.
• Brush the Guava Barbecue Sauce on both sides of the ribs and grill directly over the fire for about 1 minute per side, until glazed and bubbling.
• Transfer the ribs to a platter and let rest for 5 minutes.
• Cut down between the bones and arrange the ribs on a platter.
• Pass the remaining sauce at the table.
• GUAVA BARBECUE SAUCE:.
• In a small saucepan, combine the guava paste with the vinegar, rum, tomato paste, lime juice, low-sodium tamari, worcestershire sauce, ginger, scallion, garlic, red ppeper flakes, and water and bring to a boil.
• Simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 15 minutes.
• Season with salt & pepper (if needed).
• * A red wine with rich fruit and soft tannins, such as a Zinfandel from California's Central Coast, will enrich the flavor of these sweet, sticky ribs.
