Ribs n' Rice

This was my Grammie Murphy's recipe that my Aunt Joanne gave me. When I would go down to visit my grandparents, we ALWAYS had spaghetti and meatballs.  I would be disappointed if we didn't! So it was great to learn after she passed away that this recipe of hers that was a family favorite! It has now become a favorite of Pete and I! Thanks for passing this along to us Aunt Joanne!

 

RIBS & RICE RECIPE   

 Preheat oven to 350 (3 hours cooking time total)

Remove membrane from back of baby back ribs. Slice up into individual ribs. Place ribs in a roasting oven pan (size depends on how many ribs are being cooked).  I use a ceramic baker from Pampered Chef.

  Cover with foil. Cook 2 hours (toss ribs at 1 hour mark). 

Remove ribs from pan and pour out juices (fat). Return ribs to pan.

Add sauce(recipe below) covering the ribs; return to oven for 1 hour

(coat ribs with sauce 1/2 way through).

 

Make sauce approx. 1 1/2 hours before ribs are done.

The sauce recipe is ideally for one rack of baby backs. Double it up for 2-3 racks.

 

Sauce:

1 tblsp olive oil

1/2 cup of finely chopped onions

small can of tomato sauce (8 oz)

3/4 can of water (from can of tomato sauce)

1/4 cup of ketchup

2 tblsp brown sugar

1 1/2 tblsp worcestershire sauce

2 tblsp white vinegar

1 tsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

3 shakes of paprika

 

Saute oil & onion in small saucepan until onion is translucent. Add all remaining ingredients. Simmer on low until 1 hour before ribs are done. Add sauce to ribs. Serve over white rice, Enjoy!
