A tribute to alton brown




So my favourite food tv guy is alton brown. His shows are silly, funny and have props. The recipes are pretty simple but his baby back ribs are FANTASTIC.

the real recipe is here but i did a pretty similar one by.

There are two parts: The rub and the braising

The rub:

in a bowl combine
  • a lot of brown sugar
  • some cayenne powder
  • some paprika
  • some ground black pepper
  • some salt
now rub this mixture onto ribs and wrap in tinfoil and put in fridge for 2-12 hours.

The braise:

In a bowl combine:
  • 2 tb Worcestershire sauce
  • cup of red wine
  • 1 tb of balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tsp of tobasco sauce
  • some honey
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped
Alan says microwave for a second, but its not needed.

Now turn oven to 250 F. Put the wrapped ribs on a tray and pour the braising liquid into the tinfoil pockets of ribs.

Keep cooking them for 2.5 hours, yes a long time but so worth it.

You can drain liquid an drain liquid and paint it on them again, or play around and put under hotter heat near end to get dryer ribs.

I ate them with some home baked fries, which cooks at a higher temp, but adjust temp higher and shorter cooking time, 2 hours with only 30-40 min at the higher temp.

Enjoy
