Baby-Get-Back Ribs

Meat - Various - -

INGREDIENTS

2 x 8 oz / 275 g packages bean curd stick (available at most Asian markets; be sure to ask for bean curd stick, rather than bean curd sheets)
2 T warm melted margarine
1/4 cup peanut butter (or more, to taste)
2 T miso
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
2 t paprika
2 cups barbecue sauce

METHOD

Soak the bean curd in warm water for 4 to 6 hours. When the bean curd is softened, drain it, squeezing out the excess water, and cut into 4 to 6 inch (10 - 15 cm) lengths.

In a large bowl, mix together the margarine, peanut butter, miso, nutritional yeast, and paprika to form a rich paste. If the mixture is too thick, add a teaspoon of water at a time to thin it a bit to the desired consistency.

Preheat the oven to 370F/190C.

Add the bean curd "ribs" to the paste and mix together, coating them thoroughly. Place the "ribs" side by side on a large baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes, turning them so that they bake evenly, until the bottoms are crisp and brown.

Remove from the oven and using a barbecue brush, apply the barbecue sauce to the "ribs." Return to the oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes more.

Makes 4 servings.
