Uncle Dewey's Bar-B-Q
Ribs
Ingredients
4 racks of Baby Back Pork
ribs (1 rack per person)
1 liter Coke
1 liter
Pineapple juice
1 cup brown sugar
Bar-B-Q Sauce
2 large onions, chopped
2 cloves of
garlic, chopped
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 small can
tomato paste
2 tablespoons canola or corn oil
2
tablespoons Worchestershire sauce
1 large tablespoon
Dijon mustard
1 cup Balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon
cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2
teaspoon white pepper
1/2 cup lemon
juice
1. Boil ribs in mixture of Coke, pineapple
juice, brown sugar. If ribs are not submerged in
liquid, add water. Boil 1 hour. (Don't throw out the
liquid!)
2. Grill ribs on Bar-B-Q for 5-10 minutes on
each side.
3. To make sauce...sauté onions, garlic,
bell pepper in oil for about 5 minutes. Then add
tomato paste and about 3 cups of the liquid remaining
from boiling. Now add Worchestershire sauce, mustard,
vinegar and spices. Let boil down until thick like
Bar-B-Q sauce. Add lemon juice at the end. (Here's
a little trick...if you like your B-B-Q sauce a little
sweeter, add more brown sugar here!)
4. Dip ribs in
sauce, then put back on Bar-B-Q pit on LOW HEAT for
another 10-15 minutes. Don't let the sauce
burn...
5. Now its time to get dirty...the meat
will fall off da bones and into yo mouth.
Enjoy!!!

or Tobasco)
Dash of Black Pepper
Dash of Cayenne Pepper
Dash of Tony Chachere's Creole
Seasoning
2 tbls - Garlic Powder
2 tbls - Worcestershire Sauce
2 tbls - A1 Steak Sauce
Brown the chicken sprinkled with Tony's
seasonings then remove from pot. Brown pork first, then
boil down with some water till tender (about 30 minutes)
and most of the water has reduced. Add sausage to pork
and brown for about 10 minutes on medium heat while
constantly stirring. Next add onions, bell pepper,
celery, Cajun recipe, bay leaves, basil, parsley flakes,
fresh garlic, and dash of hot sauce. Let cook down on
medium heat while carefully stirring to prevent
sticking. Vegetables will make extra water. When cooked
thoroughly and vegetables are wilted, add the water
(4-1/2 cups) and return chicken to the pot. Next season
mixture with pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire, A1
and Tony's. Remember that pasta will absorb the
seasonings, so make sure the water tastes just a little
more salty and peppery than you would like. Next, raise
the heat to medium high so water starts boiling. Break
pasta in half and sprinkle into mixture. Be careful that
pasta does not stick together and clump. When all the
pasta has softened and absorbs most of the water, lower
heat to medium low and add the green onions. Stir
carefully; place lid on pot for 3 minutes. Next lift the
lid, stir pot completely then replace the lid. Lower
heat to very, very low and cook covered for 15
minutes.
Finally, turn the heat off,
do not remove the lid, and let sit for 30
minutes. After this, lift the lid, stir the pot over,
and your dish is ready to serve…………………………..Enjoy
