Food Revolution Day - Cola Braised Pork Ribs

Here is my contribution to the Food Revolution Day promoted by Jamie Oliver. The revolution is all about getting people back in the kitchen and cooking. I'm already there so I decided to throw together this little ditty.


I'm using cola as the braising liquid because we have a case or so left over from some party or workshop we held over the year or so. Desperate to use up this liquid candy bar some how. The ginger and chipolte and ginger give it nice spiciness. I would probably add more chipolte next time to give it a bit more kick. I would have used fresh ginger but I didn't have any on hand. I also had the citrus rub and thought it would be a good use of it.

Yet Another Chilli

Since the dancing season has finally come to an end I have time to start posting some of the recipes. Here is a chilli using some of the exotic dried chillies and some fresh wild garlic available in the area this time of year. In this recipes I put the green tops in with the dried beans as they cooked along with the dried chillies.

It seems everyone has their ultimate chilli recipe. Well, I don't have the ultimate chilli recipe. Every time I make chilli it's different. I use different chillis, different meat, different beans. This recipe make use of the sofrito technique. This is slowly cooking the vegetable to concentrate their flavour.
