just become your favorite rib recipe.
Mexican Marinated BBQ Ribs
Ingredients:
2 racks (6 pounds) pork spareribs
8 dried New Mexican red chiles, seeded
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup ketchup
2 cloves garlic
1/2 cup cider vinegar
3 Tbsp brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tsp salt
3 Tbsp tequila
1/2 cup canola oil
1 Tbsp cumin
1 tsp cocoa
1/8 tsp allspice
Directions:
In a large kettle, combine the spareribs with water to cover; bring the water to a boil and simmer the ribs skimming the froth as necessary, for about 50 minutes. Drain the ribs well and pat them dry.
While the ribs are simmering, in a blender puree the chilies, water, ketchup, garlic, vinegar, brown sugar, salt, tequila, oil, cumin, cocoa and allspice. In a jelly roll pan or on a tray, coat the ribs generously with some of the chili sauce. Reserve the remaining sauce in a small bowl covered with plastic wrap and chill for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Let the ribs stand at room temperature for 1 hour before grilling them on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over your heat source for 6 minutes on each side. In a small saucepan, bring the served chili sauce to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Serve sauce with the ribs.
