Country Style Ribs And Corn Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Cover the bottom of a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• For the ribs: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Using a sharp knife, carefully halve the ears of corn lengthwise (see Cook's Note). Then, cut each half lengthwise, creating 4 equal pieces. Brush each with the olive oil and season the corn with the spice mix. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake until the corn is nicely charred and the slices begin to curl, resembling ribs, 18 to 20 minutes.
• While the ribs bake, make the mustard mayo: Mix together the mayonnaise, BBQ sauce, mustard and honey in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove the ribs from the oven and immediately brush with a little bit of the sauce. Transfer the corn ribs to a platter. Sprinkle over the fried onions and the green onions, then serve.

Steps:

• Place ribs and onion in a 3-qt. slow cooker. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour over ribs. Cover and cook on low for 5-1/2 to 6 hours or until a thermometer reads 160°.

Steps:

• For the BBQ seasoning blend: Stir to combine the chili powder, smoked paprika, brown sugar, cayenne pepper and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.
• For the BBQ sauce: Whisk together the ketchup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, brown sugar, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of the BBQ seasoning blend in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce has reduced and thickened, 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the corn ribs: Using a large chef's knife and a large steady cutting board, cut off the ends of the corn cobs to make them flat. Using your hands, break the cobs in half crosswise. Stand a cob on one flat end and carefully and slowly cut down through the core, rocking the knife back and forth if necessary, to split the cob in half lengthwise. Repeat with all the cobs. Lay a split corn cob on its flat side on the cutting board and cut lengthwise through the cob, pressing down and rocking the knife back and forth if necessary, to make 2 long corn ribs. Repeat with the remaining cob halves. (You should have 32 ribs total.) Place on a rimmed baking sheet and set aside.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. Sprinkle the corn ribs with 1 tablespoon of the seasoning blend. Brush the ribs with 1/2 cup BBQ sauce.
• Place the corn, cut-side down, on the grill and close the lid. Cook until the cut edges are beginning to char and caramelize, about 8 minutes. Flip the ribs to the second cut side, close the grill lid and cook until the edges are caramelized and the corn kernels are crisp-tender, another 6 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer the corn to a platter. Brush with more sauce and season with a pinch of the BBQ seasoning blend (reserve the remaining blend for another use). Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with the remaining BBQ sauce.

Steps:

• Place ribs in a large pot with enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• In a bowl, mix the applesauce, syrup, lemon juice, ketchup, paprika, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
• Place ribs in the prepared baking dish, and brush with 1/2 the sauce. Bake uncovered, basting frequently with remaining sauce, for 1 1/2 hours, until done.

Steps:

• Soak the wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Drain well.
• Stir together the ground ancho, paprika, black pepper, dry mustard, salt, coriander, oregano, cumin, and ground chile de árbol in a small bowl.
• Brush both sides of the racks with the oil and rub liberally with the spice mixture. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 12 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 45 minutesbefore smoking to allow them to come to room temperature.
• Stuff several sheets of newspaper in the bottom of a charcoal chimney starter. Fill the chimney to the top with charcoal. Remove the top rack from your grill. Place the chimney on the lower rack. Light the newspaper and let the charcoal burn until the coals are gray on the outside, about 20 minutes.
• Open the bottom vent on the grill. Turn out the hot charcoal onto one side of the bottom rack. Using a metal spatula, spread the charcoal to cover approximately one-third of the rack and then scatter half of the soaked wood chips over the charcoal.
• Return the top rack to the grill. Place an oven thermometer to one side of the rack to allow you to monitor the temperature of the grill, which should stay between 250°F and 300°F at all times. (Check the temperature every 10 minutes.)
• Place the ribs on the rack to the side of the coals, not directly over them, and cover the grill. Pour one-quarter of the bourbon barbecue sauce into a separate container and set aside. Cook, turning the ribs and basting them with the rest of the barbecue sauce every 20 minutes, until the meat is very tender when pierced with a knife, about 1 1/2 hours. After the first 30 minutes of cooking, light additional charcoal as before, placing the chimney starter on a heatproof surface. When the temperature in the grill drops below 250°F, use oven mitts to lift off the top rack with the ribs in place and set on a heatproof surface. Using tongs, add hot charcoal from the chimney starter to the bottom rack and then scatter the remaining wood chips on top. Return the rack of ribs and cover the grill with the lid.
• Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet; brush with the reserved barbecue sauce and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut the meat between the bones to separate the ribs and serve with the tomato corn bread.

Steps:

• Cut ribs into 6 serving size pieces. Place in a large Dutch oven. Add sliced onion and water to cover the ribs. Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 45 minutes. (If the ribs are already cut, decrease your cooking time in this step or they will fall apart -- only cook about 20 minutes.) Drain ribs, and set aside.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Add the chopped onion, saute until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook 1 minute more. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Remove the sauce from the heat, and set aside.
• Grill the ribs over medium coals for 20 to 30 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Turn and baste frequently with the sauce.

Steps:

• Dust ribs with flour and sprinkle with garlic salt. Brown in heated butter in heavy skillet.
• Layer potatoes in a lightly oiled 13X9 baking dish. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, onion and green pepper. Pour milk over vegetables. Cover with the corn. Top with browned ribs, covering vegetables in a single layer.
• Cover and bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Remove cover and bake an additional 30 minutes longer or until ribs are tender and potatoes are well done. Before serving, sprinkle with tomato and green onions.

Steps:

• Rub Dry Rub all over ribs. Place in a glass baking dish; cover and refrigerate several hours or, even better, overnight.
• Stir together ketchup, beer (or water), vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, brown sugar (add more, if you like your sauce sweeter), oregano, basil, thyme, and pepper in a medium-size bowl.
• Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven. Reserve 1 cup sauce for basting later; pour remainder over ribs. Cover pot and cook the ribs over low heat for about 45 minutes or until ribs are tender. (Ribs may be prepared up to a day ahead and refrigerated.).
• Prepare grill or heat broiler. Remove ribs from sauce; discard sauce. Spread ribs with half the reserved sauce.
• Cook ribs over medium coals (or medium direct heat on a gas grill) or broil until crispy and browned, about 5 minutes. Turn ribs over. Spread with remaining sauce. Cook 5 minutes more.
• DRY RUB for COUNTRY-STYLE RIBS: Combine 2 tablespoons salt, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 3 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons dried lemon peel (found in the spice section of your supermarket), 3 tablespoons black pepper, and 1 tablespoon paprika in a small bowl. Store unused dry rub in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.
