Hoisin-Glazed Country-Style Ribs in Foil

Hoisin-Glazed Country-Style Ribs in Foil is from a cookbook that we are reviewing today. 150 Best Recipes for Cooking in Foil by Marilyn Haugen is using the popular foil packaged cooking method. Marilyn has recipes for you whether it is for the oven, BBQ or camping. The original recipe title is lovely and descriptive being called Hoisin-Glazed Country-Style Ribs in Foil with Green Beans and Crispy Leeks but it is a bit long for the blog. It really does tell you all the deliciousness that is going on in this recipe though.

Country-Style ribs are not a common thing here in Canada. I never see them out but our local gourmet grocery store had a chance for us to get free baby back ribs. They were celebrating pork in June!! I sure jumped at that opportunity. I then found this recipe and magic was made!

Perfectly cooked tender ribs await you in a foil pouch that have been cooking in a surprising combination of hoisin sauce and blackberry preserves. Accompanied by gorgeous green beans and crispy leeks this dinner is a real winner!! Foil packs are becoming very popular as foil is a universal, portable cooking tool. It can be a bowl, a pan or a pot and is perfect for fast, easy cleanup meals.

For our busy lives Cooking in Foil is absolutely perfect. You can still get all the freshness in a great dish with quick and effortless meals that are pulled together in no time.

Furthermore for camping, using a roll of foil is the perfect, easy way to cook. The last thing you want to be doing is the hassle of loads of dishes to wash.

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients

 

• 2 cloves garlic minced 2
• 1 tsp minced gingerroot 5 mL
• 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes 2 mL
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt 2 mL
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper 1 mL
• 1/2 cup blackberry preserves 125 mL
• 1/4 cup hoisin sauce 60 mL
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar 30 mL
• 11/2 lbs boneless country-style pork ribs cut into 6 equal pieces 750 g
• 1 lb green beans trimmed 500 g
• 1 tbsp virgin olive oil divided 15 mL
• 1 small leek white and light green parts only, thinly sliced into rings

Instructions

 

• • Preheat oven to 350∞F (180∞C)
• • 6 sheets heavy-duty foil, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray
• In a medium bowl, combine garlic, ginger, hot pepper flakes, salt, pepper, preserves, hoisin sauce and vinegar.
• Place a piece of pork on each prepared foil sheet. Coat all sides of pork with sauce.
• In a bowl, toss green beans with half the oil. Arrange around pork, dividing evenly. Fold foil into tent-style packets and seal edges tightly. Place packets on a baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until pork is fork-tender. Remove packets from oven and let rest, without opening, for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Add leek and cook, stirring and separating rings, until slightly crispy. Using a slotted spoon, transfer leek rings to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Transfer pork to plates, drizzle with sauce from foil and garnish with crispy leeks. Serve green beans on the side.
• Tips
• Raspberry or blueberry preserves would also be delicious in place of the blackberry preserves.
• If you can only find bone-in country-style ribs, youíll need 2 lbs (1 kg). When placing them on the foil, take care that the bones do not pierce the foil.
