Orange Ginger Rounds Recipes

Steps:

• Place almonds and sugar in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, and set aside.
• Place butter and zest in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until white and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. On low speed, add the almond mixture, and beat until combined, 10 to 15 seconds. Add egg and lemon juice, and combine. Add flour, and beat until combined.

Steps:

• Place two 12-by-16-inch pieces of parchment on a work surface. Divide dough in half; form each half into a rough log on parchment. Fold parchment over dough; using a ruler, roll and press dough into a 1 1/2-inch cylinder. Wrap. Chill at least 3 hours.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Spread crystallized ginger on a work surface. Unwrap logs; roll in ginger to coat. Cut logs into 1/4-inch-thick rounds; place on sheets, spaced 2 inches apart. Bake until edges turn slightly golden, about 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool. Bake or freeze remaining dough. Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Make the glaze: Combine the orange juice, brown sugar, tamari, peppercorns, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, the anise and ginger in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 15 minutes. Strain and let cool.
• Grill the short ribs: Toss the ribs with 1/2 cup of the glaze, reserving the remaining glaze for brushing. Set aside the ribs at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium high. Remove the ribs from the glaze, shaking off the excess. Brush with the canola oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the ribs, brushing occasionally with the reserved glaze, until nicely charred but still pink in the middle, about 3 minutes per side.
• Make the scallion-peanut relish: Combine the peanuts, scallions, brown sugar, allspice and cinnamon in a bowl and sprinkle lightly with salt. Transfer the ribs to a platter and top with the relish.

Steps:

• For the orange-ginger glaze: Combine the juice, sugar, tamari, peppercorns, ground pepper, salt, anise and ginger in a saucepan. Cook over high heat, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half. Strain and cool.
• For the grilled boneless short ribs: Toss the ribs with 1/2 cup of the glaze, reserving the remaining glaze. Set aside the ribs at room temperature for 30 minutes. Prepare the grill for direct grilling at medium-high heat. Remove the ribs from the glaze, shaking off the excess. Brush the ribs with the oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the ribs until nicely charred and still pink in the middle, about 3 minutes each side. Brush the ribs occasionally with the reserved glaze.
• For the green onion-peanut relish: Combine the peanuts, onions, sugar, allspice, cinnamon and sprinkle lightly with salt. Transfer the ribs to a platter and top with the green onion-peanut relish.
