BBQ BABY BACK RIBS WITH TUSCAN BBQ SAUCE

Category: Ribs

4 lbs baby back pork ribs (2 full racks)
4 tablespoons olive oil
Freshly ground salt & pepper

Sauce
2 cups ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce and espresso or strong coffee
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tbsp molasses, honey and favorite barbecue rub
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp liquid smoke
1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 325. Cut ribs into smaller sections. Rub olive oil over both sides of meat and season with salt and pepper. Put ribs in a single layer on a sheet tray covered with foil. Cook about 2 hours until the meat is tender. Transfer to a preheated grill and baste with Tuscan BBQ sauce until well coated and caramelized.

Tuscan BBQ Sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and bring slowly to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and gently simmer the sauce until dark, thick and richly flavored, 10-15 minutes. Transfer the sauce to a bowl to cool. Serves 4
