Slow Grilled Pork Ribs Basted With Dried Apricot And Fresh Mint Bbq Glaze With Succotash Salad Recipes

APRICOT-GLAZED PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large roasting pan. Whisk together apricot preserves, soy sauce, brown sugar, and garlic powder until blended. Pour apricot marinade over ribs, cover, and place in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
• Remove ribs from the marinade and shake off excess. Place ribs in the prepared baking pan and season with salt and pepper. Pour marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer marinade for 5 minutes; set aside.
• Bake ribs in the preheated oven, basting frequently with the cooked marinade, until ribs are tender and meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 hour 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

GRILLED SLOW-COOKED BBQ RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat a grill for cooking over low heat.
• Remove the membrane from the bone sides of the ribs. Rub both sides of the ribs with the steak seasoning.
• Lay 1 rack of the ribs over a large sheet of aluminum foil. Fold up the sides and pour in half of the beer. Seal the foil, leaving enough room for the packet to fill with steam as it cooks. Repeat with the remaining ribs and beer. Arrange the foil packets on the grill and cook until the meat is tender, about 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Remove the packets from the heat (leave the grill on) and let cool for 5 minutes. Pour about 1/2 cup total of the juices from the foil packets into a small saucepan and stir in the barbecue sauce. Warm the saucepan on the grill.
• Cut the cooked ribs into portions and reheat on the grill until hot and well-browned on both sides, brushing with the barbecue sauce mixture as they cook. Serve the ribs with the remaining sauce on the side.

SLOW-GRILLED PORK RIBS BASTED WITH DRIED APRICOT AND FRESH MINT BBQ GLAZE WITH SUCCOTASH SALAD

Steps:

• For the glaze: Heat the olive oil until almost smoking in a large sauce pan and cook the onion until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ancho powder and cook for 2 minutes. Add the wine, vinegar, and sugar, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, and continue cooking until reduced by half. Add the apricots and cook until softened, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the tamarind pulp and mint. Place the mixture in a food processor and process until smooth.
• For the ribs: Preheat grill to medium heat. Brush ribs on both sides with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill ribs slowly with the cover closed for 2 to 3 hours over medium to medium-low heat until tender. During last 10 minutes of grilling, brush both sides of the ribs with some of the glaze. Remove from grill and immediately brush with more of the glaze.
• For the salad: Combine all vegetables in a large bowl.
• For the dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic and sugar together in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour the dressing over the vegetables, add the cilantro and mix to combine.
