A Break from Turkey

Over Thanksgiving weekend we had two wonderful Turkey meals. I enjoyed them a lot but I was happy to find a recipe to take a break from the bird.

We have had Andrea Nguyen's "Into the Vietnamese Kitchen" for a while and what better time to test one of her recipes?

This is meant to be an appertizer but for a weekend of heavy meals, this turned out to be a perfect light dinner.  I served them with a creamy broccoli  salad with sunflower seeds. 

My mistake was that I roasted them in the oven instead of using a barbecue or a iron skillet, they were cooked but missing some smoky flavours.



They also reminded me of spare ribs at dim sum, which are usually steamed. 

Notes to self: more lemongrass and some serious grilling.  Can't wait!

Riblets: 7/10
