OK...I live in Kansas City. BBQ is THE food here and the Chiefs are THE team. You better know how to tailgate with the best of them, and be a true fan (especially this year) A true fan is a fan even though we are having a lousy season. So far this year looks to be one. I can't BELIEVE Herm traded TYNES!!
I digress, if I ask someone over for a football the first things they ask: Are you making ribs, and mushrooms.
Ribs: (my easy version) in case you want to make them when there is snow on the ground!~
Very LARGE stock pot, fill with water, put on high
Cut slabs of ribs into halves, or 3rds, place them into the warming water
STIR very frequently at first so the ribs will not stick. Once the ribs get a small amount of brown color on them they will not stick so start seaoning, but I stir some while I season the water.
I use:
small amount of salt
a lot of black pepper
a BUNCH of chilli powder
a bunch of paprika
some garlic
Once water has come to a boil, lower to a simmer
add a WHOLE onion
add a half of a can of beer (ok, I usually have one on hand if it's ribs day)
Now, the water should be RED and you should be able to smell the chilli powder and seasonings.
simmer for long time, stirring ribs occassionally
Bring them out of the pot, once they are getting very soft to the fork
place on a platter (i dry rub then, but you don't have to) and head for the grill
PLace on a grill, slather each side with BBQ sauce, and grill to ready.
It doesn't take long.
Once ready, these will FALL off the bone when you eat them. You can just pull them apart with your fingers...yummy~
