Bonjour,
Well, here we are in July! Half of the year is over, and I am still stuck in February. To me all the days blend together, from days to months and probably to the end of the year. Summer will be done with and we are still in this mess with the corona virus. Why can't we work together and get rid of this poison ?
This beautiful country is sinking like the Titanic did. We have no leader at the helm to tell us what to do, to set an example (like wearing a mask in public). At least the Titanic had a great leader: Mollie Brown! She took over and reassured everyone that they were going to be OK and SAFE!
How difficult is it to say those two words? That is what everyone is waiting for, some kind words and reassurance that we will be OK and SAFE; we are all humans (well almost).
We have to stay positive to survive, we will get through this TOGETHER. The 4th of July is just around the corner, we still can celebrate and have fun. This is one of my favorite recipe to do for that special day: French Barbecue Baby Back Ribs.
French Barbecue Baby Back Ribs:
Time: 2.5 hours
Oven: 325 degrees F.
2 pounds baby back ribs
The rub:
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon cumin
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon celery seeds
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
4 tablespoons oil canola
BBQ Sauce:
1 cup KC Masterpiece original BBQ sauce
3 tablespoons Whisky or Bourbon
2 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons brown sugar
Mix well, set aside.
1) Mix the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.
2) Remove the silver membrane from the bone side of the ribs.
3) Rub the oil onto ribs, o both sides. Using gloves, spread the rub over ribs and work the rub fully and evenly into the ribs, front and back.
4) Spread the ribs out evenly on a foil baking sheet.
5) Bake one side for 1 hour. Turn ribs around the other side, cook them for 45 minutes longer, turn them again and cook then for another 25 minutes.
6) Use your favorite BBQ sauce, spread it on both sides of ribs. Put them under the broiler for 10 minutes, turn them over and grill for 5 minutes.
7) Turn them again, and grill for 5 minutes longer, grill until tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
8) Take them out of the oven, and let them stand for 5 minutes before cutting them.
Serve immediately.
Note: Once under the broiler keep an eye on them, they will burn fast.
Bon Appetit!
