ribs

damn, 2 posts in 1 day...i must be bored, right? yuuuuup..

so lemme tell u bout these ribs i made last weekend...they were amazing...and in the oven! slow cooked like a mofo...

night before: get a bowl and rock like 1/3 cup of brown suger, 3 teaspoons of chili powder (real deal shit, not no corny shit), 3 teaspoons of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of salt, some cumin and a teaspoon of garlic powder...i think that's it...then mix together with your fingers...next, rub the crap out of a rack of ribs with your fingers, massaging the meat with your spice rub..hells yea, get down with that meat..make sweet love to the meat with the rub! put in a big bowl or a large ziplock bag and refridgerate overnight...

next day, preheat oven to 225 degrees...slow cooking, baby...low temp...aiight, put your ribs in a baking pan, or tin foil pan or whatever can hold the ribs and go into an oven and can be covered properly....add in enough of the following liquid mixture to cover the bottom of the pan about 1/2 of an inch: water, apple juice, hot sauce, little bbq sauce...stir mixture together a little bit, brush some over ribs...dont sweat it cause these babies will absorb all that cause we're cooking them for over three hours!!! hells yeah, your meat will be fallin off the bone..it will be amazing! feel free to mix whatever you want in your liquid: some wine, red or white, some beer, some orange juice, whatever...your ribs will be blazing cause you're slow cooking them and you rubbed them properly, so it don't matter! ok, throw your ribs in on top of that mixture...cut the rack in 1/2 if you have to...put the ribs in fatty side up, so fat drips down, then cover them up and let them cook for around 3 hours...check in on them every hour, making sure the liquid doesn't dry up...if it does, which it shouldn't do, just add a little more water, or juice, or beer or wine...

lastly, enjoy with some beans, mac n cheese, spinach or greens or kale or whatever...some good bread...some good beer...

enjoy!
