Ribs and BBQ sauce
Ok, so the last batch of ribs I did was ok, however I wasn’t completely happy with the sauce, there was something missing and it wasn’t the whisky! At any rate after comparing a couple of different recipes I came up with the following.
Ingredients
1 Tablespoon sunflower oil
1/2 Onion (finely chopped)
1/2 Cup Red wine vinegar
1/4 Cup Ketchup
1/4 Cup Hot sauce (I prefer Franks or Cholula)
1/4 Cup Molasses
1/8 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Bourbon Whiskey (I used Jack here)
Few pinches of dried thyme
1 tsp salt
A couple twists of ground pepper
Method
The end result
Finely chop the onion and fry it in a small saucepan with the oil. Once the onions have turned golden add the red wine vinegar and simmer for 5 minutes to reduce. once it has reduced nicely remove from heat and add the ketchup, hot sauce, molasses water and whisky. Stir and simmer for 5/10 minutes to combine the flavors. Finally add salt, pepper and thyme stir well and remove from heat. Leave to cool.
Baste slow cooked ribs (per previous post) and leave for an hour or two. Longer the better really! BBQ on grill to taste. Just super 🙂
