If you love ribs like I do, you have got to TRY THESE. These ribs have some spice to them, so if you are making them for the kiddos or for those that don't like spicy food, reduce the amount of cayenne pepper to your liking. PLEASE NOTE: The preparation time does not include the time it takes for the ribs to sit in the fridge with the rub on (1-24 hrs. ) ALSO: It takes 3-4 hours, depending on whether you slow cook them on the grill or in the oven. Ingredients:
2 slabs pork spareribs, 3 pounds each |
kansas city barbecue sauce, recipe follows |
2 cups brown sugar |
1/2 cup dry mustard |
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper |
1 tablespoon smoked paprika |
1 tablespoon garlic powder |
1 tablespoon onion powder |
1 tablespoon salt |
2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 about 2/3 cup small onion, finely diced |
3 cups water |
1 cup tomato paste (2 6-ounce cans) |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar |
1/4 cup molasses |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Dry Rub:.
2. Remove the thin white membrane off of the bone-side of the ribs. Mix together the brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Massage the rub into the ribs and let sit for 1 hour or up to overnight.
3. If cooking on the grill, place the ribs meat-side down next to medium-hot coals that are about 225 degrees F. The indirect heat will cook them slower, making them tender. Allow to cook for 1 hour. Turn ribs every half hour and baste with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce. Cook until the ribs are tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
4. If cooking indoors, place in a roasting pan with a rack. Slather the ribs with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce and tent a piece of aluminum foil over them. In a preheated 350 degrees F. oven, place the ribs, basting with the sauce every 30 minutes and removing the foil for the last 30 minutes and cooking until fork tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
5. Kansas City Barbeque Sauce:.
6. In a small sauce pot on medium-high heat, heat the oil and add the onion, cooking until translucent.
7. Add the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add to sauce pan and let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Use to baste the pork spare ribs.
8. Makes 3 cups sauce.
