Pork Spareribs with Delectable Barbecue Sauce
For sumptuous ribs made fast, make the sauce a few days ahead of
time. Marinating the ribs in sauce the night before makes them that
much more tender.

|
1/4 |
|
cup vegetable oil |
|
1 |
|
large red onion, chopped |
|
3 |
|
cloves garlic, finely chopped |
|
1 |
|
cup tomato purée |
|
4 |
|
tomatoes, peeled and chopped |
|
1/2 |
|
cup orange juice |
|
5 |
|
tablespoons vinegar |
|

|
2 |
|
tablespoons prepared spicy brown mustard |
|
1 |
|
tablespoon molasses |
|
1/2 |
|
tablespoon paprika |
|
1/2 |
|
tablespoon pepper |
|
1/2 |
|
tablespoon salt |
|
1 |
|
teaspoon chili powder |
| |
|
|
|
3 to 4 |
|
slabs pork spareribs, about 2 pounds each |
To make the sauce: In a saucepan or large skillet heat oil. Add onion
and garlic and sauté 5 minutes or until translucent. Add remaining
sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer uncovered
1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Process in a blender or food processor
until smooth. Chill in refrigerator until ready to use or up to 3 weeks.
Place ribs in a jumbo resealable plastic bag. For each slab of ribs,
pour 1/2 cup sauce over ribs; spread to coat. Close bag and marinate
in refrigerator overnight. Reserve remaining sauce.
Remove ribs from bag; discard used sauce. Place ribs in center of cooking
grate. Grill 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until tender. Brush with some of reserved
sauce during last 20 minutes of grilling time. Cut into 2- or 3-rib portions.
Serve with heated remaining sauce.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
