LAMB RIB/STAAN RIB TIPS
So heres a few pointers on doing Lamb rib or as its called in Afrikaans "staan rib".

Now first things first you may be asking why its called "staan rib"? Well in a nutshell, because usually its placed in a hand held folding grid and then placed vertically either at 45 or 90 degrees to a fire hence "staan" means "standing" because the rib stands next to a fire or coals.

Now with that out the way, here's some tips:
1. Ensure to buy a decent rib for best results.
2. Maintain the coals, remember this is a long process anything of 1 to 5hrs.
3. Ensure at all times to maintain a medium to low heat, this is the key to achieving the goal.
4. If marinating ensure to constantly baste with the marinade throughout the process for best results.
5. Judge how far away to place the grid from the fire by simply holding your hand next to the fire, if you can count to 10 that's where you want to be.
6. Start with the fat side facing the fire.
7. Do turn occasionally but remember you want a 70/30 ratio meaning 70% of the time the fat side towards the heat and 30% of the time the underside towards the heat.
8. Once the meat has retracted about 1 to 2cm from the bone and you can see the bone tips clearly then your done.

NOTE:
1. Lastly there are grid holding frames out there for doing this, not a must but just makes the job a little easier.

Keep the coals burning. (Louw)

Varkbraai (Pork Barbecue)

Bestanddele:

Vir die Marinade:

1 kg varkskouer, in 2,5 cm blokkies gesny

125 ml sojasous

60 ml pynappelsap

60 ml wit asyn

60 ml bruinsuiker

2 knoffelhuisies, fyngekap

1 teelepel swartpeper

½ teelepel sout

¼ teelepel gemmerpoeier (opsioneel)

Vir die Braai:

Bamboes stokkies (week vir minstens 30 minute in water om te keer dat dit brand)

Bietjie kookolie of botter

Metode:

Marineer die vark:
Meng al die marinade-bestanddele in ’n groot bak. Voeg die varkblokkies by en meng goed sodat alles bedek is. Bedek en plaas in die yskas vir minstens 4 uur, verkieslik oornag vir die beste geur.

Ryg op stokkies:
Ryg die gemarineerde vark op die geweekte bamboes stokkies. Los ’n bietjie spasie tussen stukke sodat dit eweredig gaar word.

Braai die vark:
Verhit jou rooster (gas of houtskool) tot medium-hoë hitte. Smeer die roosterrakke liggies met olie om vassit te keer. Braai die stokkies, draai gereeld, tot die vark gaar en effens geskarrel is – sowat 10–15 minute. Smeer tydens braai met ekstra marinade vir ’n lekker g***s.

Bedien:
Bedien warm met jou gunsteling doopsous, soos sojasous met bietjie brandrissie, asyn en knoffel.

Wenke vir sukses:

Marineer langer: Hoe langer die vleis in die marinade lê, hoe meer trek die geur in.

Spasie op die rooster: Moenie die rooster oorlaai nie, anders kook dit ongelyk.

Gaarheid: Gebruik ’n vleistermometer – die binnetemperatuur moet minstens 63°C wees vir veiligheid.
