| 6 | pounds country style pork ribs |
| ½ | cup liquid crab boil |
| 1 | head garlic, cut in 2 pieces |
| 2 | ribs celery, cut into 3-inch lengths |
| 1 | large onion, quartered |
| 2 | carrots, washed, ends trimmed, and quartered |
| 3 | bay leaves |
| 2 | tbsp salt |
| 2 | tsp Essence (recipe follows) |
| 1 | tsp whole black peppercorns |
INGREDIENTS for Barbeque Sauce:
| ¼ | cup vegetable oil |
| 2 | small onions, finely chopped |
| ¼ | cup minced garlic |
| 1 | tsp crushed and toasted cumin |
| ½ | tsp cayenne |
| 2 | cups ketchup |
| ½ | cup freshly grated horseradish |
| 1 | cup malt or cider vinegar |
| 2 | tbsp soy sauce |
| ½ | cup dark brown sugar |
| 4 | tsp Worcestershire Sauce |
DIRECTIONS for Country Style Pork Ribs:
| 1. | In a large pot, combine all the rib ingredients and enough water to cover by 1-inch |
| (about 12 cups) and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to a slow boil, cover | |
| the pot, and cook for 1 to 1¼ hours, or until ribs are very tender when pierced with | |
| a fork. | |
| 2. | While the ribs are cooking, prepare the BBQ sauce. In a medium, non-reactive |
| saucepan, over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the onions and cook, stirring, | |
| until soft (about 4 minutes). | |
| 3. | Add the garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the |
| ketchup, horseradish, cider vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire | |
| sauce and stir to mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until thickened | |
| and the flavors have married, about 20 minutes. Set aside. | |
| 4. | Preheat the oven to broil. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil. Using a slotted |
| spoon, carefully transfer the ribs to one of the prepared pans. Blot any excess | |
| liquid with paper towels, and discard the vegetables and cooking liquid. Spread half | |
| of the BBQ sauce over the 2nd lined pan. Lay the ribs flat over the sauce, and spoon | |
| the remaining sauce over the ribs to coat generously. Broil until the sauce is | |
| caramelized, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately. |
