Crock Pot Coconut Spice Country Pork Ribs

"I had some coconut milk left over from another recipe so I threw this together and it said "YES" to me so I'll post it and you can decide if it is a "yes" or "No" recipe for you. I suggest boneless ribs whole or sliced into 1/2" slices. I used dried Kaffir Lime leaves, Lemon Grass and Tamarind as that is all that is available here (most of the time). The number of servings depends on the size of your appetite"

  1. I originally rated 3 stars but I don't think that was fair since I'm not a cinnamon and meat type person and I'm pretty sure if it wasn't for the cinnamon for my particular taste only I'd have had a 4 star recipe so I'm changing it to a 4 which I think is more fair... Original review: I really wanted to like this a whole lot more. However, I'm not much of a cinnamon person when it comes to meat or savory dishes. I started not to use the cinnamon but always like to try recipes as posted first. I think if I hadn't of put the cinnamon in it would have been 4 stars...and it was nice change of pace from the norm of bar-b-que.
     
  2. Good and easy, but I have to admit I made a major mistake when I made these I put in 3 tablespoons of chili flakes (instead of 3 teaspoons) and it was too hot, although good. When I re-read the recipe I noted that I put in way way too much! Even with my major goof in the hot chili flakes department and also leaving out the kaffi lime leaf and lemongrass (I couldn't find any) my dh still enjoyed it, even though he said it was a bit on the hot side. Next time I make this great crockpot dish I will use the correct amount of chili flakes and try to get the two ingredients I didn't have. Thanks for sharing!

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
