BURNT TONGUE RECIPES

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a large saucepan.
• Using a wire whisk, mix ingredients until smooth.
• Bring bbq sauce to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer the sauce to desired thickness (I simmer mine for about an hour).
• Remove sauce from heat when thickened and pour into a one quart jar.
• This recipe will generously coat 4 lbs of ribs, with sauce left over for dipping.
• For bbq pork spareribs, cut ribs in 3-6 rib sections.
• Coat rib sections generously with bbq sauce and wrap in tinfoil.
• If you have time, I suggest you marinate these ribs in the refrigerator for 24-36 hours.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Cook ribs wrapped in foil for 2-3 hours at 300 degrees, ribs are ready when the meat has shrunk and about 1/2 inch of the bone is sticking out.
• Remove ribs from tinfoil and coat generously with bbq sauce.
• Bbq ribs for 2-3 minutes per side, or until sauce starts to char a little (if you like your sauce burnt more just bbq longer).

Steps:

• Pulse 1 cup cilantro with the scallions in a mini food processor to make a coarse puree. Transfer half of the mixture to a large bowl and add the ground beef, egg, 1 tablespoon harissa, 1/2 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix with your hands until just combined. Form into twenty 1-inch meatballs.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the carrots and cook, stirring, until they start browning, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining cilantro puree, 1 tablespoon harissa and 1 teaspoon cumin; cook until sizzling, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and 2 cups water; bring to a simmer and cook 2 minutes. Gently drop in the meatballs and simmer until almost cooked through, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Add the spinach and couscous to the soup and cook until the couscous is tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup cilantro and season with salt. Sprinkle with more cumin before serving.
