Tasty and Spicy Rum Braised Short Ribs
The perfect braised short ribs recipe is cooked with Gemma’s Gourmet Mango Hot Sauce and a splash of rum.
American celebrity Chef Bobby Flay knows good rum. He is not the only individual who loves cooking with rum. In the culinary world, finding tasty ingredients to create beautiful, delicious dishes is an ongoing task for many chefs.
I still remember my reaction when Chef Bobby Flay mentioned on television that The Haitian Barbancourt rum is the perfect rum to have in your liquor cabinet. He went on by saying that the rum is very versatile and the taste is exceptional. Not so much in these words but hey, why not cook with it. My father used to cook with rum and whiskey a lot, so why not?
Adding a hot pepper is the easiest way to bring a little taste of pepper to any the dish. But if you are looking for bold flavors, exotic flavors, perfectly spiced and tenderized meat, my mango hot sauce is the answer.
My mango hot sauce is not only great for meat, poultry, and seafood, when mixed with alcohol, the flavors intensify. You will taste every spice and a slight sweet peppery taste.
For this recipe, I added Rum Barbancourt, a rum produced and bottled in Haiti by Société du Rhum Barbancourt, T. Gardère & Cie.
We love short ribs, and for one reason or another, mixing the hot sauce and the rum is one of the best culinary ideas ever. Both ingredients are like no other. My hot sauce is addictive and is perfect for red meat.
The rum brings out the flavors of the meat and the spices
Rum Barbancourt – image was taken from www.uncommoncaribbean.com To make my short ribs recipe I used the five stars Rhum Barbancourt, which is incredibly balanced and aged for eight years. If you don’t have rum, you can use a dry or semi-dry red wine.
This recipe is my version of Rum Braised Short Ribs. The short ribs are cooked in a spicy mixture of fresh spices, my Mango Gourmet Hot Sauce, and rum for several hours, which results in a fall of the bone goodness, a delicious and appetizing dish.
Mango Gourmet Hot Sauce Making the short ribs
While reading the recipe and tempted to make my Rum Braised Short Ribs, you will notice that the seasoning are fresh herbs and spices. The ribs are also cooked in a mixture of tomato sauce, rum, and seasoning containing my hot sauce. A true Caribbean creation!
From my experience, when cooking with any of my hot sauces, it is best to add at least 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon. It is better to use in moderation as the hot peppers may be overwhelming for some people.
