I gather that American rib sauce is traditionally completely smooth and that's why the onion is strained out in the recipe.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07147906610629741961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-51466368041392346512012-04-28T17:22:30.949+10:002012-04-28T17:22:30.949+10:00I have made this dish a thousand times now (see th...I have made this dish a thousand times now (see the Anonymous posts above) and would like to add that I see no reason to pass the sauce through a sieve to get rid of the onion lumps. I have never done it and it seems to me to add unnecessarily to the work-load and the washing up! I do, however, chop the onion into very fine pieces.steznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-43662568153394638852011-10-22T15:51:17.985+11:002011-10-22T15:51:17.985+11:00Thanks for those tips!

I am taking it to a party tonight - small pieces served on a nacho and topped with a slice of jalapeno chili and served with shots of wild Turkey!<br /><br />In my last post I mentioned that I had left the sugar out with excellent results. The last two times I have made it, I have also been very liberal as to the seasoning of the gluten flour: 4 tbs yeast flakes; 4 tsp onion powder; 3 tsp garlic powder; 4 tsp smoked paprika. It does make a huge difference to the taste of the 'rib'. I feel that the original recipe leaves the 'rib' a little pusillanimous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-64357970228956811542011-10-15T14:34:32.507+11:002011-10-15T14:34:32.507+11:00I have made this dish twice now.

The second time, I simply omitted the brown sugar; this left a much more agreeable balance of cider to maple syrup (and of course all that sugar in the tomato sauce).Having discarded veganism after years of problems with B12, I replaced the margarine with butter the second time round which gave the sauce a depth I don't think was there the first time. Great recipe (all my tweakings aside)!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33131521.post-18581692143037488512010-11-03T20:26:48.726+11:002010-11-03T20:26:48.726+11:00Have fun, Carla!
