Solareflex Southwestern Bbq Ribs Recipes

SOUTHWESTERN-STYLE BABY BACK RIBS

Steps:

• At home
• In a small bowl, mix together the thyme, garlic, onion powder, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Rub the spice mixture over both sides of the ribs. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight or up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Unwrap the ribs and place them on a baking sheet. Cover completely with foil. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Remove the foil and let the ribs cool. Refrigerate them, wrapped in plastic, until you are ready to pack, up to 24 hours.
• Just before leaving, cut the racks into individual ribs and place them in a large, sealable plastic container. Add 1 cup of the barbecue sauce and stir so all the ribs are coated.
• At the tailgate
• Prepare coals for a medium fire. When the coals are hot, grill the ribs for 10 minutes, until they are lightly charred and heated through, turning them several times and applying several more moppings of sauce.
• Serve the ribs hot, accompanied by more sauce.

SOLAREFLEX SOUTHWESTERN CHARDONNAY BBQ CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine chardonnay, red onion, lemon juice, chopped parsley, garlic salt, brown sugar, olive oil, Worcestershire, pepper, rosemary, bay leaf, basil and garlic. Allow marinade to sit for at least 1 hour before use or 24 hours for more flavor. Place chicken in a sealable container and pour the marinade over, turning to coat the meat with the sauce. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
• On the SolaReflex 900, use a low black 3 quart pan with a clear glass lid that has a removable knob. You can also use a toaster oven size grill with drip pan inside our optional Clear box oven. Always wear sunglasses when solar cooking. Consider the focal point hot spot the same as an open flame, so use the same common sense and caution. When in direct alignment with the sun, it will reach over 900 degrees F, but normal cooking temperature with the diffused hot spot directed on your pan will heat in the 350 to 500 degree F range, depending on sun angle and sky conditions.
• Center the cooking container on the support stand, then standing behind your cooking reflector, turn the SolaReflex 900 towards the sun and direct the reflected bright hot spot down to the support stand and center it on right 2/3 of the meat. The hot spot will track right to left as sun moves, so realign the 900 to the same starting position in 25 to 30 minutes, or when the hot spot falls on the left 2/3's of your meat. Reduce heating levels by moving the pot closer to the reflector, which makes a larger hot spot. The smaller the hot spot, the higher the heat level.
• Push a probe thermometer through the hole left by the vacant knob, into the bottom of the thickest part of the meat. Normal cooking time on sunny days will be about 45 to 60 minutes, depending how done you prefer. Bright sunny days provide the fastest cooking between 9 am and 2 pm. Partial clouds will slow cooking times and lower temps, so confirm doneness with the thermometer.
• If the meat starts browning too much on top, open the lid and turn the meat only once to brown the other side.

SOUTHWEST RIBS

Steps:

• Defrost ribs, season with Emeril's southwest seasoning, wrap in saran wrap, and let marinate at least over night. (I usually do this step when I bring them home from the grocery store. After I season them, I wrap them in foil and freeze them until I'm ready to cook them.).
• Remove plastic, wrap in foil, and cook for one hour at 325°F.
• Take ribs out of foil, place upside down on baking sheet, and put back in the oven. Cook another 30 minutes.
• Take ribs out, turn them right side up, and cook another 15 minutes. (Rib meat should be pulling away from the bone at this point.).
• Remove ribs again, baste with barbecue sauce (top and bottom) and cook for another 15 minutes.
• Let cool, wrapped in foil, and then cut apart. Serve and enjoy.
