Subject: Peanut Butter BBQ Sauce
For years when we lived in Richmond, VA we used to eat at the Farm House
Restaurant. Their specialty was pork ribs baked for hours and slathered with
a bbq sauce that included peanut butter, tomato sauce, hot peppers, etc. I
was never able to get the recipe but never forgot the crusty ribs when they
came off the grill.
Do you know of any recipe like this?
Thanks and keep on adding to your website. It is great!
Doug
Hello Doug,
Glad you like the website.
I couldn't find a recipe from The Farmhouse. Almost all of the sauces with
peanut butter that I found were Thai or Chinese.
Below is one that is not. It seems similar to what you describe, having
peanut butter and chipotle peppers.
Phaed
Grilled Ribs with Spicy BBQ Sauce and Peanut Relish
4 cups soy sauce
2 cups water
1/4 cup chopped ginger
6 cloves garlic coarsely chopped
4 racks pork ribs
Peanut-chipotle sauce:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
8 plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 tablespoon ancho chile powder
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon pureed canned chipotle
1/4 cup molasses
Peanut-Green Onion Relish:
2 cups roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup finely sliced green onion
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon finely grated ginger
1/2 teaspoon sugar
For the Grilled Ribs: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the soy sauce,
water, ginger and garlic in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn off
heat and let cool. Pour soy sauce mixture in bottom of pan. Place ribs on a
rack in a large roasting dish. Bake ribs for 40 minutes, basting with sauce.
Finish on grill to make marks.
For the Peanut-chipotle Sauce: In a large saucepan, over medium high heat,
heat the butter and sweat the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the
tomatoes, ketchup and water and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the next 7
ingredients and continue cooking for 20 minutes. Puree the mixture in a food
processor, pour into a bowl and whisk in the peanut butter, soy sauce,
vinegar and chipotle. Preheat grill. Remove ribs from marinade. Grill the
ribs turning and brushing with the sauce until cooked through.
For the Peanut-Green Onion Relish: Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Serve
immediately.

For years there was a place called THE FARM HOUSE on Jefferson-Davis Hwy. in Richmond, Va…
now know as North Chesterfield, Va. They had the best Ribs I have ever had. It was rumored
that the secret of the sauce might be Peanut Butter ????
Well they closed up at least 10 years ago and I still crave their Ribs. I would love to
find the recipe they used for so many years. Do you have any sources ???
Thanks for your help !!!!

Hi Laura,
I received this same request back in 2003, and I did a diligent search at that time.
I provided that requestor with a bbq sauce recipe made with peanut butter and chipotle peppers.
See: Peanut Butter BBQ Sauce
In the 10 years since, no one has provided me with any further information about "the ribs from “The Farmhouse”.
I did another diligent search today, and there is still no recipe available.
I’d say this is a lost cause unless someone can locate the owners of The Farmhouse or their descendants and obtains the recipe from them.

Subject: tofu hard cheese
Uncle Phaedrus, I'm looking for a recipe for mozzarella style hard cheese
made from tofu. We buy a brand out of St. Augustine, FL called Soya Kaas.
It's ingred. are; tofu, caseinate, non-hydrogenated soy oil, natural flavor,
sea salt, cellulose gum, lactic acid from corn, soy lecithin, and guar gum.
I don't know what some of these things are, where to buy them or how to put
them together to make a hard cheese. We do have a cheese press so if it
matters that's not a problem. Any help would be appreciated as 12 oz. costs
us $ 5.39. So it's pretty costly. Also, any recipes on how to make vegan soy
sausage from soy beans would be wonderful.
Thank you, Roger.
Hello Roger,
I could not locate a recipe for mozarella-style cheese made from tofu or
soy. Sorry. There is a soy cheese recipe below.
There are a couple of soy-product sausage recipes below.
Phaed
Soy Cheese (made from soy flour)
(From "Total Health in the Kitchen" by Lois Allen and D.W. Allen)
The soy flour must be fresh and fine to give a good texture and flavour.
1 cup soy flour
1 quart water
1. Blend or beat soy flour with a portion of the water until smooth. Use
only enough water to blend easily. For quick results bring the remaining
water to the boil first, then add blended soy flour and water.
2. Cook in a double boiler for 20 minutes, or simmer in a thick bottomed
saucepan, stirring frequently.
3. When piping hot, add 1 - 2 Tbs of lemon juice, citric acid or cider
vinegar. Stir slightly. Add a little more if the mixture is slow in turning.
It should separate into a very fine curd and lemon-coloured fluid.
4. Let stand for about 20 minutes until the cheese has formed a good curd.
5. Strain in a very fine strainer until all the liquid has drained away.
6. Chill and flavour with vegetable salt, tomato and green herbs.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Breakfast Sausages:
Do exactly the same as above only substitute
the following ingredients
1 package plain soy Tempeh (8 oz/224gms), cut into quarters
a little olive oil for sauteing
1 small onion finely chopped
1 large garlic clove minced
pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tsps chopped fresh sage/1 teaspoon dried
1 tsps chopped fresh thyme/1/2 tsp dried
1/2 tsp salt
freshly ground black pepper
1. Steam tempeh for 20 minutes over about 2
inches of boiling water.
2. Meanwhile, saute onion in olive oil until
softened, then add garlic and cook about 1
minute more. Just before you take it off the
heat stir in all the seasonings including the
chilis.
3. Remove Tempeh from steamer reserving 1/8
cup/approx 25 ml of steaming water. In a
large bowl, mash the Tempeh with a fork. Add
the onion-spice mixture and the reserved water
and mix well.
4. Form mixture into 8 equal size balls and
make into little sausage patties about 2
inches in diameter. Pack them well they seem
to break apart easily. I let them sit a bit
so that the pepper had more of a chance to
soak into the tempeh before cooking.
5. In a heavy skillet, fry the sausages in a
few teaspoons of vegetable oil on medium heat
until browned on both sides.
--------------------------------------------
Mock Sausage
3/4 cup boiling water
2 Tbs soy sauce
1 cup TVP granules
1/2 cup mashed firm tofu
2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp garlic granules
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Black pepper to taste
1 tsp liquid smoke
1/2 cup wheat gluten or unbleached flour
In a bowl, pour the water and soy sauce over the TVP. When soft add the
other ingredients except the gluten and mix well.
When the mixture is cooled, add the gluten flour. Mix well with your hands
and form into 10 thin patties (I get 5). Steam-fry in two batches in a
heavy skillet sprayed with PAM until firm and browned, 7-10 minutes per
side. These can be refrigerated or frozen for later use. I place them on
a baking sheet and freeze them and then place them all in a freezer bag.
For a quick sandwich I put them in the microwave for about 1-2 minutes,
depending on the microwave and then make a sandwich with your favorite
additions.

Hello Joan,
I didn't find that particular recipe. However the one below is supposed to
be very good.
Phaed
Italian Ricotta cheesecake
Ingredients:
Ricotta Cheese-2 pounds.
Large Eggs-8.
Granulated Sugar-1 cup.
Whole Milk-1 1/2 cups.
Lemon Rind-rind of 1 fresh lemon.
Store bought Pound Cake-3/4 loaf.
Sweet Butter-6 tablespoons, room temperature.
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350° In a large bowl crumble up the pound cake into small
pieces. Mix the butter in to the crumbled pound cake. Line the bottom and
the edges of a 9" spring form pan all the way up to the top. Set aside.
In a large bowl mix the ricotta cheese, eggs, sugar milk and lemon rind until
smooth. Pour the mixture into the pound cake crust spring form pan. Set the
pan in a cookie sheet filled with 1/2" of water. Bake in a preheated oven
for about 1 1/2 hours. Remove and allow to cool completely. Refrigerate the
cheesecake in the spring form pan over night. Do Not remove the spring form
pan or the cheesecake will rip. The next day using a sharp knife go carefully
along the edges of the spring form pan around the entire cake to release any
cheesecake that may have stuck to the sides of the pan. Remove the spring
form pan.
