But first ---
Tonight we had pork ribs, very thick and meaty, which I basted with barbeque sauce and cooked slowly in the oven for a couple of hours.
As sides, some refried beans and zucchini fritters.
The fritters themselves are fairly easy, but I keep playing around with the recipe. Essentially, they contain roughly grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, grated cheese, a little salt, flour, and a couple of eggs. The whole is mixed together, let to rest for a few minutes, and then formed into quenelles and fried in oil in a pan until nicely golden.
The first few that I fried didn't turn out right, so I added a bit more flour to the mix, tried again, and they were exactly right.
One of these days I'll try to get more on the proportions of the mix, but it's still a recipe in development.
The nice thing is that, after der B and I have had our fill, the lads (and lassie) can have the leftovers, hush puppy style, and I know I've given them something that's fairly good for them.
Sit! Good boy!
