E Z Adobo Pork Ribs With Molasses Chile Barbecue Sauce Recipes

BARBECUED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, molasses, salt and 1 cup water. Bring to a boil and set aside to cool to room temperature.
• Put the ribs in a large, turkey-sized baking bag or sealable plastic bag. Support the bag in a 12-by-14-inch baking pan. Pour the marinade over the ribs and seal the bag. Marinate the ribs in the refrigerator for a few hours, turning the bag occasionally to thoroughly coat the meat.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Drain and discard the marinade. Cut four slits in the top of the baking bag, if you are using one. Otherwise, remove the ribs, transfer them to the baking pan, and cover the pan with foil or a lid. Bake for 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: While the ribs are baking, blend the ketchup, chili sauce, brown sugar, dry mustard and 1/3 cup water in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar, then remove from the heat.
• When the ribs are cooked and tender, remove them from the baking bag. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
• Brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce and return them to the oven to bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes longer. Just before serving, throw the ribs under the broiler to give them a bit of a char.

ORANGE CHIPOTLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Place the ribs in a roasting pan. Put the chipotle, soy, honey, garlic, orange juice and zest and onion in a blender and blend until smooth. Pour over the ribs. Add the bay leaves and enough water to almost cover the ribs (about 3/4 cup). Cover with foil and bake until the meat is fork tender and very soft, about 2 1/2 hours.
• Remove the pork from the pan and pour the liquid into a saucepan to reduce until it is a glaze-like consistency, about 10 minutes. Add the lime juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Preheat the broiler. Arrange the ribs in a single layer on a baking sheet or broiler pan and brush with the glaze. Broil until sticky and charred, about 6 minutes.

E-Z ADOBO PORK RIBS WITH MOLASSES-CHILE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
• In a food processor or blender, combine the paste ingredients and blend until smooth. Dry the ribs with paper towels, then rub them thoroughly with the paste. Place the ribs on two baking sheets and slow roast for 3 hours until red juice comes out when you prick the meat with a fork. The meat will be tender and pull easily from the bone. Remove the ribs from the oven. They can go right onto a grill, stand out for awhile, or be refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days.
• While the ribs are roasting, combine the sauce ingredients in a small bowl and mix well, Set aside.
• Grill the ribs on a high rack set over low heat and let them stay there as long as your patience allows. A light crust on the outside is the goal, and depending upon your fire, it can be achieved in 5 minutes or take up to 30 minutes. The longer the ribs cook, the better. Brush them with the sauce during the last minute on the grill. Cut the ribs apart between the bones and serve the remaining barbecue on the side.
