Happy Friday Eve, Slow Cookers!
What's on your agenda?
(is it ribs? do you want to make ribs?)
I'm pretty sure you will want to.......
Country Style Barbecued Ribs
serves 4
4 pounds country-style pork ribs
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons soy sauce (I use gluten free)
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
The Directions.
Use a 6-quart slow cooker.
Spread out a length of aluminum foil or parchment paper out onto your kitchen countertop.
Place the ribs into the center.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the sauce ingredients, and then smear evenly over all sides of the ribs.
The mixture will be more paste-like then saucey.
Fold over the parchment paper or foil and crimp the sides to make a fully enclosed packet.
Place this packet inside of a dry slow cooker. Do not add water.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for about 4 to 5 hours.
Carefully open the packet -- the steam will shoot out and will be super hot!
Serve with baked or mashed potatoes.
The Verdict.
Insulating the ribs within a sealed packet creates a steamy environment for the meat to tenderize perfectly and fall from the bone easily.
The meat is seasoned perfectly with the rub/paste, but if you'd prefer, you can add a bit of barbecue sauce at the table.
enjoy!
