Ingredients

  • 3 racks of pork side ribs
  • 1 tsp of garlic powder
  • 1 tsp of chili powder
  • 1 tsp of brown sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil for drizzling
  • 2 L of water
  • 1 L of jarred tomato sauce
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1-2 chipotle peppers depending on your tolerance for spice
  • Your favorite BBQ sauce for glazing

Instructions

  1. season the ribs with the spices, salt and pepper. drizzle the ribs with olive oil and broil in the oven until golden brown
  2. heat up the braising liquid until it reaches a simmer. Add into a slow cooker with the ribs and make sure they are fully submersed in the liquid.
  3. Cook on high for 2 hours and make sure the liquid doesn't boil, as that can toughen the meat.
  4. Check the ribs every half hour after that until they just start to fall off the bone. Take them out and then let them cool before grilling.
  5. Add your favorite sauce and grill until nice and hot.
