Ingredients

CHIPOTLE – HONEY BARBECUE SAUCE
- 10 cloves garlic with skin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 medium vine-ripened tomatoes

- 1/4 cup cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil

- 1 teaspoon salt
Method
- Place the ribs, meaty side down, on a flat surface.

- Then, grasp the membrane firmly with a paper towel (so that the membrane doesn’t slip from your grip).
- Holding the ribs down with the other hand, pull the membrane away.
- If it doesn’t pull away in one piece, dislodge any remaining membrane, grip it with a paper towel, and pull the membrane away.
- Then place the ribs in a rectangular dish or baking pan.
- To make the barbecue sauce, preheat the oven to 450F.
- Rub the garlic cloves with oil.
