Masala Ribs Sunday.

Hey friends – Have not posted for a few days. Had a crazy week at work – I’ll leave it at thatJ. Been eating out or passing food a lot – and resorting to the freezer at times.

Today had to be something different – Kind of a starting to cook again after a long break day.

Masala Baby Back Ribs served with a side of spicy Cumin n Onion sautéed potatoes & Vinegar scallions.

This dish pairs excellent with a heavy Quadrupel Ale. Try the Ommegang Three Philosophers Quadrupel Ale.

Thought of the day – To get the most flavorful of the potatoes, ensure you are stirring them every 1-2 mts and except for the initial sautéing of the onions, the cooking is on medium heat.

As always – Love is the most important ingredient.
