Barbecue means "party", and I believe, barbecue is an important part of the American heritage. So be a part of the heritage by cooking succulent baby back ribs from the recipes mentioned here.
Hot and Smoky Baby Back Ribs
Ingredients
Baby Back Pork Ribs, 2 racks, 1 lb each
Ground Red Chili Pepper, 2 tablespoons
Vegetable Oil, 2¼ teaspoons
Minced Onion, ½ cup
Tomato Paste, ½ cup
White Vinegar, ½ cup
Brown Sugar, ½ cup
Honey, 2½ tablespoons
Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tablespoons
Salt and Ground Black Pepper, for taste
Liquid Smoke, 1¼ teaspoons
Whiskey, 2 teaspoons
Garlic Powder, 2 teaspoons
Paprika, ¼ teaspoon
Onion Powder, ½ teaspoon
Dark Molasses, 1 tablespoon
Water, 1½ cups
Method
Mix salt, black pepper, and chili powder in a bowl; this will our dry rub for the ribs.
Rub the seasoning on both sides of each rack and leave them aside to prepare the sauce.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil and bake them for an hour.
Meanwhile, we'll prepare the sauce. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add onions.
Cook the onions for 5 minutes and add tomato paste, vinegar, brown sugar, honey, and Worcestershire sauce.
Add salt, black pepper, smoke flavoring, whiskey, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, dark molasses, ½ tablespoon ground chili pepper to the onion and stir all the ingredients properly.
Let the mixture come to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer till it thickens.
Remove the ribs from the oven and rest them for 5 to 7 minutes.
Grill ribs at least 15 minutes on each side, lifting and checking in between, for 30 minutes total.
Brush the sauce we prepared at the final 10 minutes of grilling.
If you brush the sauce early on, the sauce will burn as it has sugar in it.
