LOW & SLOW RIBS

 

FALL IS COMING. soon we can make chilis & stews and slow cook & roast meats without resulting in the house becoming 80 zillion degrees. decorate with pie pumpkins & pumpkin candles (ok, i have these out all year) & more pumpkins! these ribs are the perfect dinner to make on a cozy fall or winter day spent at home. your house will smell amazing as they cook on low for hours. while i usually use bbq sauce on my ribs, essie, the creator of essiespice contacted me about trying some of her exotic spices & sauce blends. these caribbean style flavours are not a food culture i am all that familiar with, but i tried them & could not believe how good they were. oh. em. gee. they were delicious. i used the sauce to marinate chicken, sautee ground turkey for tacos & these ribs! the coco for garlic sauce makes for a great little twist on using the usual barbecue style sauces. as you can see by the photo below... not a piece of meat left in sight. they were finger lickin good! take that KFC (jk, love you).
