Preparing a Plate for Spare Ribs

Video Transcript

"Hi! I'm executive chef Asa Schoy of Gigi's Folderol. I'm here on behalf of Expert Village, and today we're going to be talking about spare ribs. Now, as my ribs are cooking in the oven, what I'm going to do now is prepare my salad, which my ribs are going to go on. This is a very nice summer dish. It's good for hot weather, outside, picnic, bar-b-que, anything like that. What I'm going to do is take my field green, my baby field greens, nice and cleaned. I'm going to take some fresh thyme. Break it up a little, throw it in with the field greens, just cause thyme gives a very nice flavor to the dish. As I have it in here, I'm going to toss that around just a little. Now what I'm going to do is take this and put it right in the center of the plate just like that. So now I have my greens on my plate. So now what I'm going to do to accompany this dish is I have some roasted red peppers. I've already cut them into slivers. What you can do from there is just take it, cut them in half so they're not too big, then you can throw a little on top, or you can even do it to decorate the plate. I like to put them just like that on the sides. Also what I have is artichoke heart. What I'm going to do with this is I'm just going to cut it into quarters. I'm going to place these on the sides like that. Also what I have is some fresh fruit. I have a nice melon here I'm just going to cut into a couple of pieces. Now I'm going to place this almost like a fan right on top like that. I also have grapes. I'm just going to cut these in half and place these on the salad. "
