Slow Cooked BBQ Ribs

-
Today being Father's day I asked my Dad what he wanted for dinner tonight. His choice was ribs. I have made ribs a couple of times before but I was short on time today to cook them. I thought that surely there is away that I can set them to cook in my slow cooker while I did the other things I had to do today. Sure enough after some research I found this recipe. I must say it was heaps easier than the other methods that I have tried in the past and the result was amazing.

So firstly season your ribs the salt and fresh cracked pepper. Into the bottom of the slow cooker pour the water. Layer the seasoned ribs into the slow cooker. Slice the onion and roughly chop the garlic clove and place on top of the ribs. Turn the slow cooker on to low and cook for 8 hours. (If you don't have time you can cook it for 4 hours on high, but low for 8 is preferable.)

When close to the end of the 8 hours preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius. After the 8 hours remove the ribs from the cooker. Discard the onion and garlic. Brush the ribs on both sides with the BBQ sauce, place in a single layer on a baking tray. Place in the oven for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove from the oven and brush the ribs again with the BBQ sauce and return to the oven for a further 10 minutes until glossy and sticky.

 
 
I served mine with baked potatoes and coleslaw. Because the meat was slow cooked it is extremely tender. By basting it and putting it in the oven you get that amazing sticky glaze that you associate with great ribs.
 
I think that this will be the way that I cook my ribs for here on out.
 
Until next time, Happy cooking, Kate.

Rhubarb Jelly

I made Pork for mother's day. (Will post shortly). To go with the Roast Pork I made Rhubarb jelly. Lets get started in a large stock pot place the rhubarb, apple and lemon juice and seeds. Pour over 1.5 litres of water. Bring the pot to a simmer over a medium heat. Once simmering reduce the heat and cook for 1- 1 1/4 hours until pulpy. Strain through a muslin-lined sieve. It should make 1 litre. Do not push the pulp throught the sieve it will make the jelly cloudy. Pour the liquid into a clean saucepan and add the sugar. Stir over a medium to high heat until the sugar resolves. Simmer the mixture until the mixture reaches setting point. To check if it is at setting point chill a saucer in the freezer. Return to the freezer for 1 minutes. If the mixture wrinkles it is ready. Remove from heat, stand for 10 minutes. Remove any scum from the surface and stir in the vinegar. Ladle into sterilised jars. Add a rosemary sprig to each, seal and stand until cooled to room temp...

Peri Peri BBQ Chicken Pizza

This recipe combines some flavours that I really like. And is there anything better that a home made pizza. I have posted my recipe for pizza bases on my lamb pizza  post earlier this year. This recipe is amazing and the more times that you make it the easier it gets! Now for the topping, you can cook this on your BBQ, if you have a BBQ with a hood, otherwise you can grill the chicken and onion in a grill pan on a hot plate. Spray the capsicum with some oil and put into an oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-30 minutes until the skin begins to black. (If you are doing on your BBQ place them onto the grill and cook until charred all over. Turning as required.) Once cooked place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow it to stand for 5 minutes. Peel the skin off and deseed. Cut up to your desired size. While you are waiting for the capsicum to seam in the bowl, process the garlic, chilli, paprika and oregano until finely chopped. Add the lemon juice and oil and continue t...

Spice Rub Butterflied Chicken

I has been pretty hot here in Melbourne for the last couple of week and I also haven't had an oven😢 So I was looking for something to cook on the BBQ. I am a fan of butterflied chicken because it cooks quicker than a traditional roast. I also like that it is easier to get marinade to stay on the bird while you are trying to cook it. I made this for my family and some of them, not naming names, aren't huge fans of chilli, so I reduce the amount of flakes that I used. However if I was making it for myself I wouldn't hesitate to use the full amount. I don't think that the full quantity would be to hot at all. Obviously depending on the type of flakes that you use. Preheat your oven or hooded BBQ to 200 degrees Celsius.  I prefer to butterfly my own chickens. It is really easy and once you have done it once or twice and you know where to cut you will never buy one again pre-cut. I suggest watching one of the many videos on YouTube. It will give you the added visua...
