I Instagram'ed (Instagrammed?) a couple of pictures from our dinner on Monday night and I'm here to share those recipes with you!
This recipe for ribs is stupid easy.
Like it's so easy I almost feel silly for calling this a recipe.
And giving it its own post.
But what the heck...we'll do it anyway!
Slow Cooker Dry Rub Spare Ribs
What you need:
a crock pot :)
4lbs (give or take) of spare rib meat, I used pork
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon all season salt (or salt you have on hand)
and hold on to your hats folks...
1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
I've also used nutmeg or cocoa powder instead of cinnamon.
All options are delicious.
One of them is required.
Just trust me...
It gives the meat a really smoky flavor without being spicy or too sweet.
I dunno. Magic happens in the pot, just go with it.
What you do:
Combine all of your seasonings in a small container and shake it up so it's homogenous.
That's right, I know fancy words.
Rub this seasoning mixture all over your ribs by hand
and place them in the crock pot.
Cook on LOW heat for 8 hours.
Do NOT add liquid.
Do NOT shorten the time.
Do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollars.
Seriously though y'all.
The bones and juice create just enough moisture you will have goop on your hands if you add any in.
And the flavors really need a lot of time to "marry" if you will and it just isn't as good if you try to cram it into four hours.
I'm just sayin'.
Straight out of the crock pot, already falling off the bones.
How ribs are supposed to be!
Now to accompany your delicious ribs...
Katy, over at Honestly Delicious
created this fantastic sauce.
Paleo Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce
I. DIE.
I had never had Gold BBQ sauce before,
I've always used your traditional tomato based, red BBQ sauce,
but holy amazeballs this gold stuff is goooood.
Oh why yes that is a chunk of bacon at the bottom there.
You can thank Katy for that bacon-y goodness.
And check back soon for part two of my crazy year!
