AWESOME BBQ RIBS AND SLAW
We love ribs. These are fantastic and guess what? I don't own a grill! This is a very easy way to prepare ribs - but - if it's hot I don't necessarily recommend it as it takes quite awhile to cook these in your oven - thus producing a lot of heat in your home. You know what they say: If you can't stand the heat....get out of the kitchen.
When I went gluten and sugar free - things like Bar-B-Que sauce became a HUGE problem. Every commercial brand of sauce had one or the other, or both. Today is your lucky day - because I'm sharing my recipe. I think it rocks - and I should sell it! Bar-B-Que sauce is really a personal thing - but I think this one ranks up there as one of the best I've ever tried - and I'm about to hurt my arm patting my back, so I'll just share the recipe. ♥
RIBS:
INGREDIENTS:
Ribs
Sea Salt and Pepper
Minced Garlic
Aluminum Foil
DIRECTIONS:
Season your ribs with salt and pepper on both sides. Rub the crushed garlic on the meat side.
In a DOUBLE layer of aluminum foil, wrap your ribs very tightly, making sure they are well sealed.
Place on a pan and put them in a 275° oven for 4 hours.
At about the 3 1/2 hour mark, remove the ribs from the oven, open the foil packet, and pour your sauce on your ribs, and then place back in the oven for the remaining 30 minutes.
