Bourbon and Blues. Baby Back Ribs and a sampler of Blues on Suppertime

IMG_0745 Yum it's suppertime! This week we are listening to the blues and drinking and eating bourbon. Here is recipe for a bourbon bbq sauce, a sweet and spicey rub, and a method for cooking ribs over the bbq real quick! I used 2 racks of ribs from PG Meat people Homesteaders Meats. They were super!

Here is the saucy recipe for a bourbon bbq sauce to slather over your baby back pork ribbers:

1 onion, minced

3 cloves of garlic, minced

2 thai chilis or whatever hot things you got, minced

1/4 butter

1/2 cup ketchup

1/4 vinegar

1/2 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp dry ginger

Dry rub for ribs:

1 cup brown sugar

2 tbs paprika

1tbsp chili powder

1tsp cumin

salt and pepper

For the bbq sauce:

  • start to carmelize the onion and garlic in the butter over lowish medium heat
  • raise to medium heat, add your bourbon!
  • let that bubble for about 5 minutes
  • add remaining ingredients and let simmer for about 10 minutes. If it's gettin real thick, add a little more water

Dry rub:

  • mix all ingredients in a bowl

To Cook the Ribs on BBQ in Short amount of time (45 minutes):

  • liberally dress your ribs in the dry rub
  • wrap in tin foil with some chunks of onion and apples and butter
  • place on medium high bbq ( 350ish degrees)
  • After 30 minutes, remove from tin foil
  • Throw on the bbq and slather in bbq sauce, let them get all sticky and coated for about 10 minutes
