Cooking Directions (Suggested):
Cooking Directions (Suggested):
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (191°C).
- Trim fat caps from ribs if any. Score the underside of ribs to allow flavours into membrane area.
- Cut ribs into individual short ribs, and season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Heat a pan at medium-high heat, and toast any mixture of seasonings you're planning to cook with ribs (ginger, anise, chilies, garlic, lemongrass, and cinnamon is a good mixture), ensuring no more than a little char. Remove all spices from pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, brown the ribs on every side, ensuring consistency across entire rib. Remove from pan, and set aside.
- Add seasoned liquid of choice to pan (we like a combo of: brown sugar, soy sauce, hoisin, wine, scallions, and water), with the previously toasted spices and bring to a boil.
- Put the ribs back into the pan on their sides. The liquid should not be more than halfway up the ribs. Cook them for 10 mins like this.
- Cover the pan with foil, crimping the edges to seal it as well as you can, and place in oven for approximately 2 hours (depending on size). Flip ribs once during cooking.
- Verify an internal temperature of 203°F (95°C), and serve on a bed of rice or veggies, using additional liquid spooned on top.
H.O.P.E. Eco-Farms (Aylmer, ON)
HOPE stands for Healthy Organic Produce Enterprises, and represents a brilliant form of cooperative organizing for sustainable growing. Upwards of 30 small scale organic farms in the Aylmer Amish community work together to grow and market their produce under one common brand through one collectively owned and operated warehouse. By working together, the community is able to grow a substantial amount of organic vegetables, even supplying some larger organic distributors. Each winter, they'll collectively decide on what to grow, to ensure that enough variety is grown and that there isn't an over abundance of any one vegetable.The beating heart of any of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. Without refrigeration, the greens and veggies we love quickly spoil. As such, the beating heart of any produce warehouse is its walk-in cooler. HOPE's cooler is a technological marvel for both its sustainability and simplicity. At the centre of the cold room is a 2 story tower of ice made of carefully cut blocks from the purpose - built adjacent pond. One small diesel generator powers the industrial fans that draw the cool air from the ice room and propel it through the various chambers of the cooler, keep HOPEs wonderful kale, peppers and other greens at just the right temperature. By the time October rolls around, there isn't much left of the ice, but that's OK, because winter is just around the corner ready to make some more.
It really is a sight to see, horse-drawn wagon loads of beautiful organic produce fresh from the fields roll into the warehouse, get graded, cooled, and packed onto pallets for distribution out onto all the waiting trucks including ours. When things work well, it's a one stop shop for incredible quality and value organic produce. When things don't work so well, we find ourselves trucking on down the lane to find the growers' farm to get it direct!
