I N G R E D I E N T S :
2 racks Baby Back ribs
4 Tbsp Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Harissa Infused Olive Oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup shallots, chopped
1 cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Espresso Balsamic Dark Vinegar
½ cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Maple Dark Balsamic Vinegar
1 cup maple syrup
2 Tbsp Dijon mustard
½ cup Tamari
I N S T R U C T I O N S :
- Prepare the espresso sauce: Add Harissa Olive Oil to a sauté pan on medium heat. Add minced garlic and shallots and sauté until they are light brown (about 1 minute). Add Espresso Balsamic, Maple Balsamic, maple syrup, mustard and tamari. Stir well. Season with salt and fresh ground pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Salt and pepper both sides of meat liberally. Stack the ribs on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Cook in an oven at 325℉ for 2 hours, shifting the bottom layer of ribs to the top every 30 minutes until they are tender and almost falling off the bone.
- Transfer ribs to a preheated grill. Brush ribs with espresso sauce and close grill. Continue to turn and brush the ribs with sauce every 10 minutes (about 4 times total). Finish ribs with a drizzle of Harissa Olive Oil.
