SMOKED BABY BACK RIBS WITH PRICKLY PEAR BARBECUE SAUCE
Smoked baby back ribs seasoned with an easy 5-4-3-2-1 rub. Baby backs are ribs that are incredibly well-marbled. They're intrinsically tender, relatively quick to cook, and if you're new to the game of smoking this is the rib you want to do because it almost always comes out tender. It's very hard to overcook. Baby back ribs are served with a prickly pear barbecue sauce. Prickly pears are also known as cactus pears. Prickly pear adds a sweet flavor to the barbecue sauce, that almost tastes like watermelon. If you don't have prickly pear, you can substitute with diced watermelon.

Steps:
- Step 1: Wash the ribs and blot dry. Remove the papery skin on the back of each rack of ribs. (Pull it off in a sheet with your fingers, using the corner of a dishtowel to gain a secure grip.)

ShareTweetPin69 Shares Step 4: Cook the ribs until very tender and the meat has shrunk back from the ends of the bones, 4 to 5 hours. Replenish the charcoal and wood as necessary. Starting after 1 hour and every hour thereafter, spray the ribs with apple cider. ShareTweetPin69 Shares Step 5: The last 30 minutes, brush the ribs on both sides with the barbecue sauce. If you have a grill handy, direct grill the ribs to sizzle the sauce into the meat. ShareTweetPin69 Shares Step 6: Serve the ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce on the side. ShareTweetPin69 Shares
DOVES WITH PRICKLY PEAR BBQ SAUCE
I use whole doves for this, as they pluck so easily. If you don't have whole doves, it will still work but won't be as pretty. And for you non-hunters out there, use either squab or quail. The sauce can be refrigerated for several weeks beforehand.

Steps:
- Coat the doves in olive oil and salt well. Set aside at room temperature while you make the sauce.
- If you are using fresh prickly pears (also called tunas in Latin shops), remove the spines and chop. My friend Elise has good instructions on how to prepare prickly pears. If you prefer using syrup, you can buy it online or make your own prickly pear syrup.
- Heat the lard or oil in a medium, heavy pot over medium-high heat and add the grated onion. Cook this, stirring often, until the onion just barely begins to brown. Add the chiltepin or other chiles and then the tequila or mescal, the prickly pear juice, a little salt and the agave syrup, if using. If you are using prickly pear syrup, follow this sequence: Add the chiles, then the tequila and let this boil down by half. Then add the prickly pear syrup and a little salt.
- Turn the heat to low and let this simmer until the flavors meld, about 15 to 20 minutes. Add lime juice to taste, then buzz the sauce in a blender to puree the onion. Taste the sauce for salt and seasonings, then put it back on the stove and let it cook down to a glaze.
- Get your grill blazing hot. Arrange the doves, breast side up, on the grill and paint the doves with the sauce. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes with the grill lid open. Turn them on their sides and paint them again. Grill for a minute or two, just to get some caramelization on the skin and sauce. Flip and do the same with the other side. Finally, grill the doves on the breast side for 1 minute, just to brown. Take them off the grill, paint them one more time with the sauce and serve.

Time 1h57m
Yield 6 to 8 servings
Number Of Ingredients 21
Steps:
- Preheat an outdoor grill to medium heat.
- Brush the pork tenderloins with oil. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Use a clean cloth or rolled paper towels soaked with oil to season the grill. Grill the tenderloins, turning as necessary to mark them well on all sides. Use a basting brush to coat the tenderloins with sauce. Turn the tenderloins about every 2 minutes and reapply sauce to ensure even caramelization. Cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 145 degrees F (for medium doneness) to 160 degrees F (for well done).
- Remove the tenderloins to a wire rack or plate to rest. Rest in a warm place for at least 5 to 7 minutes. Bring leftover sauce to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Slice and serve with sauce for dipping or drizzling.
- Coat the whole red onions with canola oil and roast until inside layers are very soft, about 1 hour. Peel the onions and discard outer layers if blackened. Place in blender with prickly pear cactus puree and blend at high speed until completely smooth. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Saute minced onions until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Add coriander, cumin, pepper flakes, serrano, garlic, and lime zest. Cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add Worcestershire, tequila, cider vinegar and lime juice. Cook over medium-high heat until reduced by half.
- Stir in onion/cactus fruit puree, water and salt, to taste, and bring to a simmer.
- Remove from heat and swirl in the remaining butter. The sauce may be blended to achieve a smoother consistency or left as it is.
PRICKLY PEAR BARBECUE SAUCE
The prickly pear is the desert's dessert-the sweet, pinkish or greenish, oval fruit of a flat paddled cactus that grows throughout the American West. How to Prepare Prickly Pears To prepare whole prickly pears, cut the ends off with a paring knife, holding the pear at the end of a fork. It's a good idea to wear gloves: the pear may still have some prickles. Cut the fruit into ½ inch dice, then puree in the food processor, running the machine in short bursts. Strain the resulting puree to remove the hard seeds. You'll need about 1 pound of prickly pears to obtain 1 cup puree. Prickly pear adds a sweet flavor to the barbecue sauce, that almost tastes like watermelon. Try this Prickly Pear Barbecue Sauce with Smoked Baby Back Ribs.

CRIMSON PRICKLY PEAR SAUCE
Steps:
- Cut a 1/2-inch slice off both ends of the prickly pears, then make a 1/2-inch deep incision down the side of each one. Carefully (remember there are little stickers) peel off the rind, starting from your incision: The rind is thick, and, if the fruit is ripe, will peel easily away from the central core. Roughly chop the peeled prickly pears, puree in a food processor or blender, then press through a fine strainer into a bowl. There should be about 3 cups.
- In a medium-size (2- to 3-quart) saucepan, combine 2 cups of the puree with 1/3 cup sugar, and simmer rapidly over medium to medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until reduce to 1 cup. Cool.
- Combine the cooked mixture with the remaining1 cup of uncooked puree in a small bowl. Taste and season with lime juice, orange liqueur and additional sugar if needed.
- Advance Preparation:
- Covered and refrigerated, the sauce will keep about a week. The finished sauce (as well as the prickly-pear pulp) also can be frozen.
