Bourbon, Jalapeno BBQ Pork Ribs
This frankenstein rib recipe was inspired by things I like. Bourbon, jalapenos, American bbq sauce. And what more fitting a time to make them than superbowl sunday. I got the ribs from Costco, which was possibly one of the most stressful experiences of my life, but the ribs were super cheap / meaty / delicious.
4 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
4 tablespoons coarse salt
4 teaspoons freshly ground pepper
4 teaspoons hot paprika
4 teaspoons mustard powder
2 teaspoon celery seed
Marinate
1 Cup Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Healthy Dash of Worshtershire Sauce
1 Cup of Bullitt Bourbon or whatever you can find
Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons of Cayenne Pepper / go as hot as you want
3 heaped teaspoons of Brown Sugar
1 cup of Chopped Jalapenos
3 Chopped Garlic Cloves
Barbecue Sauce
350ml of Smoked Hickory BBQ Sauce
200 ml of Tomato Sauce
Half a stick of Butter
60 ml Cider Vinegar
1 cup of Brown Sugar
1 Tablespoon of Mustard Powder
1 Tablespoon of Cayenne Pepper
Splash of Worshteshire Sauce
Slaw
1 x White Cabbage
1 x Bunch of Coriander
Juice of 1 lime
5 Drops of Habanero hot sauce from Trader Joes
1.5 cups of mayo
I started this the day before. Pat off any extra liquid off the meat with an absorbent towel. Put the spices (excluding the brown sugar) in a pan and dry roast till fragrant. Rub spice mixture onto ribs, and set aside for an hour.
Combine marinate mixture in a bowl and pour over ribs in a big baking dish. Place in refrigerator and marinate overnight.
The next day, cover the baking dish with foil, and place in an oven on a low heat of 150 degrees celcius (300 Farrenheit) for 3.5 hours. Occasionally basting.
Combine the bbq sauce mixture in a saucepan over low heat, and set aside.
The meat should be falling off the bone now. Remove from marinate, and turn on your bbq to high. Get out a brush, and thickly apply the the bbq sauce mixture leaving some for when the ribs are cooking, and for serving. Place ribs on high heat for 5 minutes a side, brushing them with more bbq sauce as they're cooking. Remove from heat, brush with more sauce. Let sit for 5 minutes then serve with some Pacificos, and some slaw. Go the Ravens!
