Spare Ribs & New Orleans Coleslaw
I've tested another couple of Nigella Lawson recipes. This time I tried out the Spare Ribs from her Forever Summer. It's not online so here's a scan (click to enlarge):
Changes: I forgot to buy star anise but I don't think that impacted the result much. (And I didn't add any chillies because I really don't like hot food.)
Verdic: Both my mum and I thought they were very tasty so I'm definitely using this recipe again.
As an accompaniement to the spare ribs I made coleslaw using a recipe from her site, New Orleans Coleslaw.
Changes: Used only cabbage and carrots and since you can't buy buttermilk in Sweden any longer I had to use a substitute. I usually use filmjölk in creamy dressings so that's what I choose.
Verdict: Nice but a little bland. I prefer the dressing I usually use - the mustard adds a little bit of zing. So probably not making this again.
