Ingredients

Green Beans with Cilantro:

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 
  2. Put the maple syrup, wine, dates, stock, curry leaves, fenugreek seeds, mustard seeds, salt and pepper into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer until the dates are soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Puree with an immersion blender, and then let cool. 
  3. Place the ribs in a pan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Pour over the marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 hours. Wipe any excess marinade from the ribs, put them onto a baking sheet and bake until the ribs are very tender, about 1 hour. 
  4. Serve with Green Beans with Cilantro.
