Grandma Dave’s Latin Spiced, Marinaded and Slow-Cooked Ribs

Ingredients:

• Baby Backs or St. Louis Style Spare Ribs (Two full slabs)
• Olive oil – ¼ cup
• Latin Spice blend – ¼ to ½ Jar WES Latin Blend
• Honey –2 Tablespoons
• Garlic finely chopped -3 cloves
• Kosher Salt –1 Tablespoon
• Grandma Dave’s BBQ Sauce –½ to 1 bottle (don’t be shy!)

Method:

1. Rinse and dry baby backs and set aside
2. Mix Olive oil with Latin Blend, Honey, Garlic and salt
3. Let ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours
4. Pre-heat your Big Green Egg Slow-cooker)

1. After marinading… Fire up the grill and roll ribs around to develop color and flavor.  This will give the ribs that slightly grilled flavor.

1. Place ribs in rib rack in center of Big Green Egg
2. Cook in the Egg for 3-4 hours – or until meat recedes from the bone.  You may test one by cutting off a rib on the end until it the meat appears to be falling off the bone.
3. Remove from Egg, cut ribs off of slab and slather in Grandma Dave’s Orange Chipotle BBQ sauce.  Place in baking dish that can handle the heat of the egg.  Return to egg until sauce begins carmelizing on the ribs… but not too long.  The sauce should always go on at the end so it doesn’t get too burned on the ribs.
