Baby Back BBQ Ribs
Time: 90 minutes
Servings: 6-8
Ingredients
2 slabs baby back ribs
2-½ c BBQ sauce (a sweeter BBQ sauce made from molasses)
1 onion peeled and halved
1 carrot, peeled
¼ cup canola oil
1 T paprika
½ T salt
½ t pepper
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions
First cut the top and the bottom off the onion. Then peel the outer layer of the onion. Next cut the onion half.
Cut the top of the carrot off and peel it. Then cut it into large chunks.
Remove the ribs from the package and dry them.
Next in a large pot, fill it almost to the top with water (leave enough room for the ribs). Add the onion, carrot, and ½ cup barbq sauce to the water and mix.
Bring the water to a boil and add both slabs of ribs. Boil for 35 minutes.
When finished remove them from the pot and set them on a cookie sheet.
Pour the oil over the ribs and rub the paprika, salt, and pepper into the ribs.
Next heat the grill to a medium high heat.
Place the ribs on the grill, presentation side down (turn down the heat directly under the ribs). Cook them for 15 minutes and then flip. Cook for another 10 minutes and then baste every few minutes for an additional 10 minutes.
Once they are golden brown remove them from the grill.
When ready to serve cut them into three bone segments (Tip: to cut the ribs from the underneath rather than from the top), serve with BBQ sauce.
