Grilled Szechuan-Style Baby Back Ribs

Ingredients

• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro
• 1/2 bunch fresh parsley
• 3 garlic cloves
• 1 piece fresh ginger, about 1-inch long, peeled
• 12 cups chicken stock
• 3 pounds baby back ribs
• 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
• 2 tablespoons miso
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
• 1 tablespoon sake
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 teaspoons chili paste with garlic
• 1 cup blanched black beans
• 1 tablespoon julienned cilantro leaves

Directions

Preheat the grill. Preheat the fryer. In a food processor with a metal blade, pulse the first four ingredients together. Transfer the mixture to a large Dutch oven. Add the stock and ribs and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the ribs are tender. In a mixing bowl, whisk the remaining ingredients together. Drain the ribs and transfer the ribs to a parchment lined baking sheet. Brush the ribs with the sauce and let the ribs cool for 1 hour. Brush the ribs a second time and place on the grill. Cook the ribs until deep brown, about 4 minutes per side. Cut the rack into individual ribs and serve with the remaining sauce. Fry the blanched black beans until crispy, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. To assemble, arrange the ribs on a platter. Garnish with the beans and chopped cilantro
