These are cooked in the oven with BBQ sauce. Preheat the oven to 450 F. Place the ribs meaty side up, on a rack in a large shallow roasting pan containing 1/2 inch of water. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until most of the fat has cooked out. Remove and discard the water & fat from the pan. Reduce the heat to 350 F. Meanwhile heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring until the onion is limp. Mix in the remaining ingredients and simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes, until the flavor is well blended. Return the ribs to the roasting pan, without the rack, pour the BBQ sauce over the ribs and bake uncovered for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. If the sauce gets too thick add water. Cut the ribs and serve.{$7e}(Original recipe for 2)
