BEEF or PORK RIBS PREPARED IN
TRADITIONAL AMERICAN STYLE !

YOU WILL NEED BOURBON (RYE) WHISKEY

Coastweek - - A Shanzu carnivore just back from the United States
describe this recipe as: "the best ... absolutely the best ... way to
prepare beef or pork ribs. It takes a little time but the end result is
worth waiting for. If you don't have molasses you can use a good
rich dark Kenya honey as a suitable substitute."

.

  • two rashers of bacon

  • one very large red onion

  • two cloves of garlic

  • olive oil

  • two tablespoons tomato paste

  • one cup strong coffee

  • half cup Worcester sauce

  • one tea spoon of Tabasco

  • one cup molasses

  • half cup tomato ketchup

  • two table spoons of Bourbon (American Rye Whiskey)

  • salt and pepper to taste

  5. Cut the bacon into small bits and put these along with the tomato paste, coffee, molasses, tomato ketchup and Worcester sauce into the food processor. Blend.

  6. Add this to the onions and cook for about forty minutes to one hour on a low heat.

  7. Add salt, pepper and Tabasco to taste.

  8. Wait until the mixture is cool and then pour half of the mixture over the ribs and let marinate overnight.

  9. Save the remaining mixture to serve with the ribs on the side.

  10. Set the oven to a low heat (approx 250 - 300 F).

  11. Put the ribs in a deep-set pan and cover with foil.

  12. Cook for four to six hours until ribs are tender - almost falling off the bone.

  13. Remove ribs from pan and grill for another twenty minutes to get them a little crispy.
