Trash and X

…and a way with celeriac, instalment number 1

Trashy TV need some trashy themed food. Ribs, wedges and coleslaw.

I marinaded some ribs for the day (overnight will do)

For about 500 g ribs you’ll need

8cm fresh ginger (grated)
30 ml vegetable oil
30 ml soy sauce
30 ml sweet chili

(if you are feeding more, 1.5 k ribs will want 100 ml each of the oil, chili and soy)

Mix all together in a bowl. Instead of sweet chili, I actually used aforementioned chili jam, which worked really well. Marinade for a good 4-5 hours, the longer the better though!


The wedges were sweet potato, par boiled and then tossed in olive oil, salt, pepper and paprika.

The slaw was actually a recipe from Ottolenghi, sweet and sour celeriac and swede grated with a tangy mustardy cider vinegar dressing, capers and dried sour cherries.


Serve with X Factor.
