Bunratty Castle Pork Ribs with Honey-Whiskey Sauce
Yield: 4 to 6 as a first course
Ingredients
Pork Ribs
Honey-Whiskey Sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, peeled and sliced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup Irish whiskey
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 4 cups homemade chicken stock or canned low-salt chicken broth
- 1/2 cup demi-glace or concentrated chicken broth
Instructions
Pork Ribs
- Put the ribs in a large pot or Dutch oven and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook until fork tender, about 1 hour, skimming the water occasionally to remove the foam.
- Transfer ribs to a large baking pan. Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Honey-Whiskey Sauce
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the demi-glace or concentrated chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce reduces
by half, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Stir in the demi-glace. Pour half the sauce over the ribs and bake, turning once, until the ribs begin to brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Slice the meat into 4 or more ribs per person and serve with remaining sauce.
