NANA'S FALL-OFF-THE-BONE RIBS AND "BARB"-ECUE SAUCE



Nana's Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs and

This slow-roasted then grilled recipe for fall-off-the-bone pork ribs is famous in my husband Eric's family. His grandma, "Nana," has been making these ribs every 4th of July for decades. Her "Barb"-ecue sauce recipe (her name is Barbara) is absolutely incredible!

Time 4h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

heavy foil
7 pounds racks of ribs
Applewood rub (or your favorite dry rub)
2 cups ketchup
2/3 cup Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoons celery seed
2 cups water
1/4 cup brown sugar
4-8 drops Tabasco sauce

Steps:

  • Lay out a generous amount of heavy foil on a large rimmed baking sheet. Lay one rack of ribs on the foil and rub generously with Applewood rub. You can be generous. I used 2-3 tablespoons per rack, but it is really up to you.
  • Wrap the foil around the ribs so that it is completely covered.
  • Repeat with the other rack of ribs.
  • Let the ribs sit for 30 minutes. Or overnight. Or no time at all, if you're in a hurry.
  • Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Put the ribs in the oven and roast for about 3 hours. Take the ribs out when they are fork-tender.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S BARBECUE SAUCE



Barefoot Contessa's Barbecue Sauce image

The Contessa told an interesting story about this recipe. She said that about 20 years ago she asked a chef on the show to make three types of barbecue sauces: one mustardy, one tomatoey, and one Chinesey. When she tasted them, the first one was too mustardy, the second was too tomatoey, and the third was too Chinesey! She decided to try combining the three, and she said it turned out being the best sauce she'd ever tried. This is the result, and it's her favorite to this day.

Time 55m

Yield 1 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onions (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces)
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan on low heat, saute the onions and garlic with the vegetable oil for 10 to 15 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned.
  • Add the tomato paste, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Simmer uncovered on low heat for 30 minutes.
  • Use immediately or store in the refrigerator.
  • The Contessa recommends using this with about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds of chicken. Just marinate it in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator, then slap it on the grill. Serve it with the extra sauce on the side!

NANA'S BARBECUE SAUCE

For some strange reason, the only time we had this sauce was to use as a gravy for leg of lamb. It was yummy on the mashed potatoes, too. To this day, this is the only way I make leg of lamb. I have also found it to be really good for a barbecued beef sandwich.
