Slow-Cooked Barbecue Ribs
?Shortcuts - Use prepared barbecue sauce. - Dinner cooks by itself in a slow-cooker. - To ease cleanup, line baking sheet with foil before broiling ribs.
Servings: 6
Ingredients:
3 lb (1.5 kg) pork back ribs (2 racks)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 large carrot, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1-1/2 tsp (7 mL) bottled minced garlic (or 2 cloves, minced)
2 tsp (10 mL) dried thyme
1/2 tsp (2 mL) each salt and pepper
1 bottle (455 mL) barbecue sauce
Preparation:
Trim any fat from ribs. If necessary, remove membrane from underside. Cut into 2-rib portions; place on rimmed baking sheet. Broil until browned, 7 minutes per side. Transfer to slow-cooker.
Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat; fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add barbecue sauce.
Add to slow-cooker, stirring to coat ribs. Cover and cook on low until ribs are tender, 8 to 10 hours.
Re: Menus
yummy. I am trying to figure out what to have this week! We are trying to eat a bit healthier so it limits the amount of cheese and creamy stuff.
Tonight we are eating leftovers (pork, potatos, carrots) from the crockpot.
I think tomorrow well have tilapia and grilled veggies. And I'll need to go grocery shopping soon!!
