Cook's Challenge!

I have no clue

LOL!

Mmmmm mmmmmmm... Let's eat some ribs! I'd start by boiling the ribs until thoroughly cooked. I would puree the ginger and some of the watermelon. Hand me that unopened bottle of Rudy's BBQ Sause, please. Mix the ginger and watermelon with some bbq sause. Put the ribs in a 9 x 13 glass pan and crank the oven to oh, say 350 (can ya handle the heat?). Let's get a bit boring here. Put the lima beans iwith just a wee bit of water in a pot on the stove. Low to medium heat for now. Add some cilantro and some lemon juice. Season the beans with the salt and pepper. Let it simmer for a spell. While that's doing that, let's open the oven and see what's going on in there. Hmmmmm... Crank up the oven to 400. It ain't even bubblin' yet, Maw. Sprinkle some pepper on the ribs. Close the oven.

(Insert Jeopardy theme here)

Hey, I think it's been a while and something sure does smell good. Stir the beans and open the oven. Yep, looking right plumb tasty. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top of the ribs, turn the oven to broil, and give it about 5 minutes. After that, you're all done. Serve the ribs and beans on a plate with a couple of small triangle wedges of watermelon and enjoy!

Oh yeah, baby!


I actually have a recipe for ribs using watermelon. Haven't tried it yet.

I'm willing to try anything. I'm not afraid of food. It all belongs in my belly! (Except certain things like squid and fish and anything you can only get in third world countries.)

Is that better now that I've done a challenge? ;)

Ribs and watermelon ... hello summer!!!!

Agreed, Chelle. There isn't much I won't try. I've even tried sea urchin and bugs. Now you need to post your list of five.

Hurry up, summer!

Asian Style Ribs and Melon Fruit Salad

extras: cantaloupe, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar

Marinate ribs for two days in a mixture of minced ginger, pureed melons, hoisin, vinegar, oil and salt and pepper. Wrap tightly in several layers of foil and bake on low heat for several hours, til falling apart. Make a basting and dipping sauce with same ingredients as marinade. Open rib packet and brush with basting sauce and sprinkle ribs generously with sesame seeds. Continue baking til seeds are golden.

Toss limas with a little vinegar, ginger and salt and pepper. Chill.

Ball melons and toss with grated ginger, a little vinegar and sesame seeds.

Serve rib sections with pickled limas and have the melon salad as dessert.

maybe i'll throw some ribs in the slow cooker for tomorrow.

Prepared BBQ sauce, maple syrup, bananas

I would cover the ribs with bbq sauce, and slow bake them in the oven. Mix watermelo chunks with bananas. Mix a little maple syrup with freshly grated ginger and pour over fruit, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds. Uh...feed the lima beans to hubby.

I love 'em in the slow cooker, L. They get SOOO tender!

I don't eat lima beans either.

I go with Sue on this - dessert sounds awesome!
I do like lima beans though, so I would cook 'em and eat 'em plain with the ribs...
