A Flavour Explosion and a Fantastic Multi-Use Barbecue Sauce
These finger-licking, bone-chewing, lip-smacking ribs have been slathered in this sauce, bathed, baked and basted in it, and are the beautiful caramelized sticky mass that one would be proud to share with loved ones. Wouldn’t you feel loved if I made these for you? I hope so! I would be thinking about how much I care about you when I was making and baking them smothered in this Chipotle and Fresh Horseradish Barbeque Sauce!
Start with the garlic. Every good sauce starts with garlic, and lots of it, I think! And you will see that I chopped the peppers and the celery. The recipe works best when you chop these by hand before putting them in the TM bowl.
But, after peeling the horseradish, in it goes. Don’t forget to chop it into smaller pieces first.
Is that not beautiful? Perfectly minced! I love my Thermomix! And, suddenly, it’s done! Beautiful, isn’t it?
This recipe makes exactly two litres. And, OK, it is not so “suddenly” done. But, almost!
I used baby back pork ribs, cut individually, and bake them at 300F, turning them every twenty to thirty minutes. After the first two turns, time for the sauce.
And I keep saucing and turning for rwo and a half to three hours, until the meat is sticky tender.
These, like everything, are best fresh. I froze them out of necessity for the staff party. They can be frozen with very good results, so that is good news! I always make a lot when I make them, and usually do freeze half because they take such a long time in the oven. I have never regretted it, and they have never been in the freezer long. There is always a party or a dinner that I can pull them out for.
Last spring, Mario, my nephew, was thrilled to come home to an Alberta BBQ rack of rib meal after a hard day of work on the farm!
