Five Spice Honey Sriracha Ribs

Published by

I’ve been perfecting my oven-baked rib recipe over the years. It’s pretty simple and best served with a bunch of sides. My favourites are slaw, buttery mash with loads of gravy, cauliflower mac and cheese. This is a mild heat level. If you want something with a bit more oomph, double the sriracha.

Cook Ribs

Ribs The ribs at Al Brown’s new restaurant, Depot are incredible. Lamb ribs with harissa sauce sounded great and I liked the inclusion of roasted capsicum. Al’s recipe can be found on his restaurant website for those that live outside of Auckland or just want to be able to make the dish at home. What a giver! I also have a soft spot for Lonestar ribs. It’s the only thing we go to Lonestar for these days. Ribs shouldn’t be a special occasion food, so I figured that was time to attempt to cook ribs at home. I put together this recipe after reading a bunch of recipes online and also incorporating some flavours that would work well with pork. Roasted capsicum is easy to do. Just cut a capsicum into quarters, remove the seeds, smear with a little oil and bake at 180°C for 40 minutes. In hindsight, this sauce would be badass with a slow cooked hunk of pork. Think pulled pork with coleslaw, potato salad and fresh buns. Oh boy. Kaitaia Fire Kaitaia Fire is …

On the bandwagon at Depot

Published by

This week, I convinced Miss A to try out Al Brown’s new restaurant at Sky City: Depot with me. It’s had great reviews and what I read about the food really appealed to me. If you haven’t read the reviews, this place is small. The are no real chairs, just stools that you perch at. This means your bags and coats may need to find a hook on the wall. It also means that you’re unlikely to get cosy enough to let your dining experience drag on. Smart. Third time’s a charm. We had failed to get a table twice the night before – at about 7pm (full) and then at about 10pm (kitchen closed). This time we were joined by Uncle and more determined to eat. It was lunch so the turnaround was faster and that means better odds for a table. They don’t take bookings here and they get busy. You have been warned. We took one end of a large table. If communal dining isn’t your thing, then you might want to say …

Friday Favourites: Ribs

Published by

For some crazy ass reason, ribs aren’t popular around these parts. For my fill of Flintstone style ribs, I always go to Lonestar. Lonestar restaurants have an American cowboy theme in decor and menu. They are consistent in their food and service and have 21 restaurants in New Zealand. I’ve been to 3 of their restaurants and found them to be very similar. Their meals are not cheap, but they are massive, so it is value for money. I do wonder if their portions are Americanised portions? I can comfortably eat 6 ribs for dinner including a bit of the sides that they come with. Too bad their smallest main order of ribs is 9 ribs. I’ve tried a few other things on their menu. Not recommended. Just come to Lonestar for the ribs. You will not be disappointed. If you order something else from their menu and you don’t like it, it’s your own damn fault.
