Keto Orange Brined Ribs Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 pounds (1.4 kg) country-style pork ribs
- 16 ounces (480 ml) orange flavored Fruit2O
- 1 tablespoon (18 g) salt
- 2 cloves garlic
- teaspoon blackstrap molasses
- 1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) olive oil
Method
- Wood chips or chunks, soaked for at least 30 minutes
- Dissolve the salt in the Fruit2O-heating the Fruit2O a bit will help the salt dissolve
- Stir in everything else but the ribs and oil
- Set aside 1/2 cup of the brine for basting and 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the brine to use in the Orange Rib Glaze (following)
- Put the ribs in a shallow dish and pour the rest of brine over them, making sure the ribs are submerged at least a little bit
- Put the whole thing in the fridge and let the ribs soak in the brine for 4 to 5 hours
- Five to six hours before you want to eat, prepare the grill for indirect cooking -build a charcoal fire to one side or light only one burner of your gas grill
- When the fire is ready, pull the ribs out and drain them
- Pat the ribs dry and rub them with a little oil
- Put them on the grill and add soaked wood chips to the fire
- Cover the grill and smoke the ribs for 5 to 6 hours, adding more chips or chunks when the smoke dies down
- Combine the 1/2 cup (120 ml) of reserved brine with 1/2 cup (120 ml) of oil and use it to mop the ribs every time you add chips or chunks to the fire
- Use a clean utensil each time you baste
Makes 5 servings
- Exclusive of any sauce you might add, these are virtually carb-free! 32 grams of protein
