BBQ Ribs

Author: Melissa Griffiths

Ingredients

  • 2 racks of baby back ribs weighing 1 ½ to 1 ¾ lbs each
  • 1 T. salt
  • ½ T ground black pepper
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 2 springs parsley minced
  • Original Sauce:
  • 1 cup of favorite barbecue sauce
  • 1 small tomato diced
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 1 chipotle pepper finely diced
  • 1 T. cilantro finely minced

Instructions

  • Cut the racks of ribs in half and rub with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350º. Place ribs, water, celery, onion and parsley in a shallow baking pan and cover with foil. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • BBQ the ribs for about 10 minutes on medium high heat turning often to avoid flare ups. Coat the ribs with your favorite BBQ sauce and cook 10 minutes more, turning often and adding more sauce with each turn. The sugar in the BBQ sauce burns easily, so watch them closely, turn often and moving them around on the grill if necessary.
  • Original Sauce: Meanwhile, mix sauce ingredients together. After the ribs have cooked, remove from baking pan. Coat the ribs with sauce, place them on a cookie sheet, and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes.
