Mix the following rub ingredients in a ziplock bag:

Garlic Powder – Tablespoon

Onion Powder  -Tablespoon

Brown Sugar – 1/2 cup

Kosher salt – Teaspoon

Coffee Grounds – Dessert spoon

Sage & Celery Salt TSP each

Add ribs to ziplock, shake and let them sit for a long as you can be patient.

Quick Grill for marks, then into shallow pan. Heat oven to 225 degrees

– add 1/2 cup of Pale Ale + 1/2 Cup of OJ  – increase liquid based on # of ribs

Cover with foil & cook till ribs fall apart. Use 2 forks to “pull” the pork (shred).

Gluten-Free Thanksgiving Dinner Tips, from BigOven

, , ,

Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner for someone with Celiac disease or sensitivity to gluten? Do not despair! Even Thanksgiving recipes, in all their wheat-y goodness, can be made both gluten-free and delicious.

Gluten lurks in a host of pre-packaged ingredients often used on Thanksgiving like gravy mix, stuffing seasoning and cranberry sauce. Omitting these pre-packaged ingredients will be necessary, but this can make the Thanksgiving cooking much more laborious.

To save cooks time, BigOven has compiled full pre-planned gluten-free menus that can easily be customized and added to the cook’s grocery list. All menus are available on BigOven’s mobile apps, so cooks can take them to the store. See a sampling below.

Turkey pairings: New Planet Pale Ale, Belgian Ale or Amber work beautifully with any of the following dishes:

Cooking a gluten-free Thanksgiving meal doesn’t require cooks to forego the classics. Even stuffing and pie can be made gluten-free by the conscious cook.

These simple adjustments allow cooks to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving dinner while adhering to their guest’s dietary restrictions. Cooks can add pre-made gluten-free menus to their grocery list and view the Gluten-Free Thanksgiving collection on www.bigoven.com and any of BigOven’s mobile apps.

Planet Fish’N’Chips! Featuring New Planet Brown Ale

,

The following is an adaptation of a recipe created by Elizabeth Barbone of GlutenFreeBaking.com

We have customized this recipe to highlight the use of our Brown Ale in order to develop more flavor in the batter and to create a wonderful pairing for our newest seasonal offering. (You can also use New Planet Belgian Ale, if you prefer to cook with a lighter fish, such as Tilapia.)

fish-n-chips-use  Ingredients

For the Batter

  • 2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour
  • 1 ounce (1/4 cup) sweet rice flour
  • 3 ounces (3/4 cup) cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup New Planet Brown Ale (more as needed for batter consistency)

For the Fish

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless cod, cut into 5-inch pieces
  • 2 ounces (1/2 cup) white rice flour
  • 2 ounces (1/2 cup) cornstarch

For Frying

  • 2 quarts vegetable oil / light olive oil

Procedures

1

In medium bowl, whisk together cornstarch, white rice flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and black pepper. Add gluten-free beer. Whisk until batter forms. Batter should flow easily from a spoon, slightly thicker than the consistency of heavy cream. If it’s too thick, add an additional tablespoon beer. Set aside. In large bowl or pie plate, whisk together remaining white rice flour and cornstarch.

2

Preheat oil to 375°F. Dredge cod, one piece at a time, into the white rice flour-cornstarch mixture. Shake off excess. Dip cod, one piece at a time, into batter. Allow excess batter to drop off. Carefully lower fish into hot oil. Cook until batter sets, about three minutes. Turn fish and cook until batter turns golden brown, about another three to five minutes. (Frying time varies depending on the size of the cod pieces.) Fry cod in batches, about two to three pieces at a time depending on the size of your fryer.

3

Drain fish on paper towel-lined plate. Serve at once or transfer to rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in preheated oven for up to twenty minutes.

 Sides

We can recommend the following:

Red Potato Garlic Fries w/ Fresh Cilantro & Spicy Mayonnaise:

Wedge cut Red potatoes, baked in the oven with crushed garlic until golden brown, then sprinkled with fresh cut cilantro.

Mayo: TBS of Mayo, squeeze of ½ a lime, salt, pepper & Sriracha Sauce (your choice for comfort level)

&/OR

Mixed Spring Green Salad with Mandarin, Red Onion and Raspberries w/ raspberry balsamic vinaigrette.

New Planet Beer Expands in Style & Territory

,

 

New Planet Beer Company (NPB) from Boulder, Colorado is expanding the frontiers of gluten-free Beer in both availability and style!  State approvals have just come through, and the nation’s leader in 100% gluten-free beer is expanding into Texas and Wisconsin this month. The long anticipated expansion brings the count to 46 states.  NPB sales growth is ahead of the national Craft Beer average YTD, and the addition of Texas and Wisconsin will undoubtedly raise that number dramatically.

Added to the new distribution, New Planet will also be releasing the 1st nationally available gluten-free Brown Ale in the fall. This rich, dark and decidedly tasty ale is brewed with coffee and cocoa which lends a complex and roasted flavor profile to balance brown sugar notes of a typical American Brown Ale. In 2012 NPB won a Silver Medal at the GABF in the Gluten Free Category with the Brown Ale, and starting this September, will be packaging and distributing this ale nationally.

NPB has been on the frontier of gluten-free beer innovation since its inception in 2008. The release of the Brown Ale looks to be a winning move  and will again cement the brewery’s position as America’s leading 100% gluten-free Craft Brewer.

Current New Planet Beers:

  • Pale Ale
  • Amber Ale 
  • Blonde Ale
  • Raspberry Ale
  • Belgian Ale
  • Brown Ale – Silver Medal  – 2012 GABF Gluten Free Category

No other US brewer offers the range of style in the Gluten Free Category. www.newplanetbeer.com
