Maple Glazed Ribs with Mashed Peas Here at Escuminac, we think outside the box to find the best culinary partnerships for our 100% pure Canadian maple syrup. That's what led us to creating a one-of-a-kind experience by combining our small-batch maple syrup with a traditional take on ribs. The rich, sweet taste profile of our harvests give a lighter flavour experience for the ribs themselves. Often served with a sweeter sauce, our approach adds a succulent dimension to the palate. The peas accent the dish with something a bit calmer for the palate and also provide a healthy vegetable addition to the dish. The best part? The sauce goes equally well on the ribs as it does drizzled on the peas. Ingredients (2 portions): 1 pound ribs - pork or beef 1/4 cup maple syrup Escuminac 2 tbsp coconut sugar 3-4 tbsp tomato sauce or ketchup 1 tsp mustard powder 1 tbsp Worcester sauce 1/2 tbsp salt 300 g fresh or frozen peas 3 tbsp butter Salt pepper Preparation: For the Ribs: Mix everything for the sauce in a cup until a smooth texture Marinade the ribs overnight Cook in a slow cooker or in the oven but covered with lid for around 4 hours - you can check on them When they are tender, transfer on baking paper, put more sauce on them and grill for 5-10 minutes - this is optional - you can serve them without the additional grilling If you prefer you can cut between the ribs For the mashed peas: Boil the peas for around 10-15 minutes or until soft Blend in a blender with the butter, salt and pepper Serve with the ribs
