Chipotle Glazed Barbecue Crudite With Cabrales Blue Cheese Dip Recipes

THE SINK CHIPOTLE BBQ

Steps:

• Heat a medium heavy-bottomed pan over high heat. Add the butter, onions and garlic and saute until the onions are translucent and soft.
• Turn the heat down to medium, add the salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper and chipotle peppers and cook for 5 minutes.
• Add the ketchup, 3/4 cup water, brown sugar, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, liquid smoke, yellow mustard and Worcestershire sauce and cook for 15 minutes.
• With a hand mixer, blend the sauce until smooth. There will be some lumpiness from the onions and garlic, and if you like, strain these out through a sieve. Otherwise, simmer the sauce on low for another 15 minutes.
• Remove and cool. Store in a plastic container in the fridge for up to 1 month.

CHIPOTLE-GLAZED RIBS

Steps:

• Place the vinegar, onion, garlic, salt and water in a large pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Add the ribs, reduce the heat to medium and cover with a lid. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the ribs are tender.
• While the ribs are cooking, make the chipotle glaze. Mix to combine the chipotle chiles, onion flakes, Tabasco, cocoa powder, maple syrup, sugar and salt.
• Remove the ribs from the cooking liquid and place in a large deep-sided tray or pan. While the ribs are still hot, rub the chipotle glaze evenly over the ribs to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes until cool or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Place the ribs on wire racks set over 2 rimmed baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Roast for 20 minutes, brushing with glaze every 5 minutes, until golden and caramelized. Serve with lime wedges, pickled jalapeño peppers and the Corn and Jalapeño Chile Flatbreads, if desired.

CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ketchup, beer, vinegar, jelly, brown sugar, mustard, cumin, chipotle pepper, paprika, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and cook a few minutes until slightly thickened.

CHERRY-CHIPOTLE GLAZED BACK RIBS

Steps:

• About one hour before smoking, make the dry rub. Combine all ingredients in small bowl; mix well. Pat ribs dry with paper towels; generously coat both sides of ribs with rub. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze. Combine all ingredients except cherry preserves in medium saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes until slightly thickened, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in preserves. Set aside to cool.
• Heat charcoal or gas grill for indirect cooking at 250 to 300 degrees F. Add drained wood chips, if using.
• Place the ribs, meaty side down, over a drip pan and cook for 2 hours spraying both sides of ribs with apple juice every 20 to 30 minutes. Add about 12 coals to a charcoal grill every 45 minutes or so to maintain the heat.
• Remove ribs from grill. Double-wrap each rack in heavy-duty aluminum foil. Return wrapped ribs to the grill and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours more over indirect heat, until very tender. Add more coals as needed to maintain temperature for a charcoal grill.
• Remove ribs from grill and unwrap. Place ribs over direct heat on grill and brush with glaze. Cook for about 5 minutes until the glaze is set. Turn ribs and repeat with more glaze.
• Serve ribs with remaining glaze.
