I was making my way through the market today, when I caught a glance of Baby Back Ribs on sale for $2.99/lb. I haven't seen them that cheap in close to 15 years. So I picked up two full racks, each a little over 2lbs. in weight. Here's the result...
Sadly, I don't own a smoker, so I had to prep them the blasphemous way...slow simmering in water. But when they were done, I took the broth and reduced it and made the BBQ sauce from scratch, which you see in the bowl. It was a killer sauce, highlighted with Spiracha and Chipotle sauce. Quick flash in the convection oven and voila! The Angry Orchard Hard Cider went well with the meal too.
And finally... I have come to the realization that I'm getting old, because fifteen years ago, I could have polished off both rack of ribs with no problem. I had a hard time finishing a little over 1 rack. But, my two little dachshunds were happy over this dilemma.
