Glazed Pork Ribs with Shichimi Togarashi
-
2
racks St. Louis–style pork ribs (about 4 lb.)
-
1 1/2
tablespoons
kosher salt plus more
-
Freshly ground black pepper
-
1
lemon, very thinly sliced
-
2
sprigs rosemary plus 1 Tbsp. minced
-
1
garlic clove, thinly sliced, plus 1 tsp. finely grated
-
2
tablespoons
(or more) fresh lemon juice
-
1
teaspoon
finely grated lemon zest
-
1
tablespoon
cornstarch
-
1/2
cup
thinly sliced scallions
- Shichimi togarashi* A spice mix of red pepper that can be found in Asian Markets
- Preheat oven to
350°F.
- Arrange a double layer of foil on a rimmed baking sheet so foil
hangs over sides.
- Place a large sheet of parchment paper on foil.
- Season
ribs all over with 1 1/2 Tbsp. salt and pepper.
- Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed
baking sheet with foil.
- Cut between bones to separate ribs.
- Transfer
ribs to prepared baking sheet and broil, turning occasionally, until
beginning to brown and crisp, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven and
brush with warm glaze.
- Sprinkle with scallions and shichimi togarashi.
- Place 1 rack of ribs, bone side
up, on parchment.
- Arrange sliced lemon, rosemary sprigs, and sliced
garlic over.
- Lay remaining rack over, bone side down, creating a pocket
between the racks. (The seasonings in the center will infuse the meat as
it bakes.)
- Cover ribs with another sheet
of parchment; crimp edges to seal. (The parchment seals in flavor and
prevents the acid from the lemons from reacting with the foil.)
- Wrap
ribs tightly with foil to form a tight seal (use extra foil, if
necessary, to completely enclose ribs, and crimp edges together to
tightly seal).
- Bake ribs for 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove from oven and let rest at room temperature, still sealed in foil,
for 1 hour. (Do not open; ribs will continue to cook and become
tender.)
- Carefully open foil. Transfer
ribs to a platter or another baking sheet; discard lemon slices and
rosemary sprigs.
- Pour pork juices into a measuring cup.
- Add water if
needed to measure a scant 1 cup.
- Bring reserved pork juices,
minced rosemary, grated garlic, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, and lemon zest to a
simmer in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk cornstarch and 1
Tbsp. water in a small bowl for slurry.
- Whisk slurry into juices to
thicken (the glaze should just coat the back of a spoon).
- Season glaze
with salt and pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. DO AHEAD: Glaze can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Gently rewarm before using.
