One of the most buzzed-about restaurants in memory, Triniti has opened its doors (and its kitchen) in Houston. While there may be “too many chefs” (to quote the old saying), the oh-so-contemporary “broth” they produce is making lots of diners happy. We check in with chef-owner Ryan Hildebrand and his gang. In our Grape & Grain segment, we taste and talk about the tequila of Casa Dragones with maestra tequilera Bertha Gonzales Nieves.

This Week’s Delicious Mischief Recipe
TEQUILA-MANGO SHORTRIBS
6 pounds pork shortribs
1 large fresh ripe mango
2 tablespoons chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup tequila
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons honey
6 cloves garlic, finely minced
1/4 cup finely minced ginger
1/4 cup chopped cilantro sprigs
Remove the membrane from the underside of the ribs. Then place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan. To make the marinade, peel the mango and cut the flesh away from the seed. Combine the mango flesh and chipotle chiles in a food processor fitted with a metal blade and puree. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and combine with the ketchup, tequila, lime juice, oyster sauce, honey, garlic, ginger, and cilantro. Makes 2 cups.
Coat the ribs evenly on both sides with half the marinade. Marinate the ribs refrigerated for at least 15 minutes. For more flavor, marinate for up to 8 hours. Remove the remaining marinade to serve as a sauce for the ribs. To grill the ribs, if using a gas barbecue, preheat to medium (325 F). If using charcoal or wood, prepare a fire. Occasionally during cooking, baste the ribs with extra marinade, stopping 15 minutes before removing the ribs from the grill. To serve, cut each side of ribs in half, into 3 sections, or into individual ribs. Transfer to a heated serving platter or 4 heated dinner plates and serve at once accompanied by the reserved sauce. Serves 4.
