This recipe produces tender, succulent ribs slathered in a chocolate-chipotle barbecue sauce that'll have you licking your fingers.
INGREDIENTS
For the Cocoa Nib Rub:
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon cajun seasoning salt
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 cup grounded Taza Roasted Cocao Nibs
- 3 tomatoes, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
For the Chocolate-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce:
- Dash of vegetable oil
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 disc Taza Chipotle Chili Chocolate Mexicano, coarsely chopped
For the ribs:
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa Nib Rub
- Chocolate Chipotle Barbecue Sauce
- 1 onion, coarsely chopped
- 4 racks baby back ribs
DIRECTIONS
For the Cocoa Nib Rub:
In a medium size bowl, combine all ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
For the Chocolate-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce:
Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. When oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and garlic and cook until onions are translucent, about 6 minutes. Add chopped tomatoes and paprika and bring to a simmer.
Cook until tomatoes have broken down, about 20 minutes, and then add the sugar and vinegar and bring to a simmer. Add chocolate and mix until incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Using a blender or food processor, process sauce until smooth, then run through a fine mesh strainer. Set aside.
For the ribs:
Rub ribs with the dry rub on both sides. Allow to sit overnight.
Place 1/4 of the chopped onion on a large sheet of tin foil. Drizzle 1/2 cup the barbecue sauce over the onions and place ribs bone side down on onions. Smear 1 cup more of the sauce over ribs and then encase them in foil. Repeat with remaining ribs.
Place ribs in a 250-degree oven and cook until tender, about 5 hours. Allow ribs to cool completely (in the fridge overnight is fine), then grill over high heat, basting with leftover sauce.
