1/4 cup vegetable oil

1 small red onion, diced (1 cup)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 teaspoon lime zest

1 tablespoon finely grated ginger

1/3 cup cider vinegar

1/2 cup tomato paste

1/2 cup honey

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/3 cup soy sauce

1/4 cup fresh orange juice

4 racks country ribs (8 to 10 pounds)

Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, and saute the onions and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, until the onions are translucent but not browned. Add the chili powder, ground cumin and red pepper flakes and continue cooking for 1 minute. Add the zest and ginger and cook for an additional minute. Add the vinegar, tomato paste, honey, mustard, soy sauce and orange juice and simmer uncovered on low heat for 15 minutes, until thick.

Marinate the ribs in 2/3 of the barbecue sauce for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare a grill with a single layer of hot coals and then add a few more coals 5 minutes before cooking, which will keep the fire going longer. Place the ribs on the grill and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, turning once or twice to cook evenly on both sides. Brush with the marinade as needed.

Serve with extra barbecue sauce on the side.

MMM MMM Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great recipe. My husband also loved it, which is a bonus. Will be making this again. I didn't have all the ingredients, so... substituted tomato sauce for tomato paste, just didn't use as much. I added some jalapenoes, and didn't have apple cider vinegar, so I used garlic flavored vinegar. Excellent!!! Read more

A few tweaks and outrageous!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

After reading all of the reviews for this recipe, I doubled the recipe except for the tomato paste and chili powder. It was ... fabulous with pulled pork. This sauce has a complex bite, both sweet and tangy with a lingering heat that is just right. I have a feeling I will be making this sauce one a week in the summer. Try it, you won't be sorry.Read more

Simply Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I served this for a dinner party and it was a big hit. The sauce is amazing. Layers and layers of flavor. I couldn't find... a rack of country ribs so I bought what my store had which was a package of large individual country ribs, very meaty. These worked very well, too. I would definitely make this again.Read more

awful!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

if you are used to eating 'traditional' bbq, you may be disappointed like we were. this tasted more like spaghetti sauce.
