Slow-Cooker Barbecued Ribs

Total Time: 8 hours 
Preparation Time: 15 minutes 
Active Cooking Time: 8 hours 
Yield: Serves 6 to 8 
Make Ahead: Best served immediately 


Ingredients

·         BBQ sauce
·         salt 
·         pepper
·         3 Tablespoons sweet paprika
·         2 Tablespoons brown sugar
·         ¼ Teaspoon cayenne pepper
·         6 Pounds pork baby back ribs * *
·         Vegetable oil spray

·         * * Spareribs won’t fit into most slow cookers and should not be purchased. They are too tall and they are too difficult to bend to fit the shape of the insert. You want baby back ribs, which are considerably smaller. Most racks of baby back ribs weigh between 1½ and 2 pounds. You will need three or four racks for this recipe.

 * This recipe requires a large slow cooker with a capacity of 5½ to 7 quarts.

Instructions

Mix 3 tablespoons paprika, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, ¼ teaspoon cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 tablespoon pepper together in small bowl.

·        Rub spice mixture evenly over 6 pounds pork baby back ribs.
·        
        Stand ribs up along perimeter of slow cooker with wide end down and meatier side of ribs facing slow-cooker insert wall.
·        
        Pour barbecue sauce over ribs.
·        
        Cover slow cooker and cook until ribs are tender, 6 to 8 hours on low.
·        
         Position oven rack 10 inches from broiler element and heat broiler.
·          
         Place wire rack in aluminum foil–lined rimmed baking sheet and coat with vegetable oil spray.
·         
         Carefully transfer ribs, meaty side down, to prepared baking sheet 
·         
·         Brush ribs with some sauce and broil until beginning to brown, 2 to 4 minutes.
·         
         Flip ribs over, brush with more sauce, and continue to broil until ribs are well browned and sticky, 9 to 12 minutes longer, brushing with additional sauce every few minutes.
·         
        Slice between bones and serve ribs with remaining sauce.

Quick and Easy Black Beans

2 Cans Black Beans, drained and rinsed 1/2 tablespoons olive oil 2/3 cup diced onion 2-3 garlic cloves, pressed or finely minced 2/3 cups chicken broth 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1/4 teaspoon coriander 1/4 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 lime In a saucepan on the stove, heat the olive oil to med-high heat. Saute onions for about 3 minutes or until they just start to become translucent. Add garlic and saute abut 30 seconds more. Add beans, broth, and remaining seasonings and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and simmer for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally. When they are done cooking, remove from heat and add in a few squeezes of fresh lime juice. Then use the back of a spoon or rubber spatula so smoosh (yes, that’s a technical culinary term) some of the beans. You don’t want to pulverize them, but you want to take a bunch of good smooshes so that some of the beans are smashed, which will thicken the sauce.
