That's why I fill my medicine cabinet with marbles before dinner parties. Snooping guests get quite the surprise/panic.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave -

When I saw Cat cook them at the first non-Eggtoberfest Eggfest ever in Waldorf (1999?) I was fascinated. Not only did she cook the ribs direct, but she worked a low controlled fire the whole time with the top vent totally open. No daisy wheel (as we called it then). The bottom vent was open a slit, and she stood there and worked it...no wrapping...all direct slowly building up the crust. That was an eye opening experience watching her go. You guys and this old stuff. What fun

Juniper is the "secret" ingredient in Chipotle's version of carnitas.

Cat's Ribs
Number Of Servings: Source: John Thorne's 'Serious Pig' (wonderful Vegetarian: No Time To Prepare: Date: Wed 02 Mar 2005 22:33:48 UTC Viewed: 10150 times Author: 14102 Email: celoup@ix.netcom.com Rating: 3,73 (11 votes) Description: The best thing that ever happened to a baby back. Ingredients: • 3 fat garlic cloves, peeled • 3 Tbscider vinegar • 1 Tbs kosher salt • 3 Tbspeanut oil • 1 Tbs black mustard seeds* • 2 tspground hot pepper (I use chipotle*) - this will make the ribs spicy; add more or less to taste • 12 juniper berries* • 3 slabs baby back ribs (1.5 to 2 lbs. each), membrane removed • 1 Tbs coarsely ground black peppercorns • 3 Tbs brown sugar Instructions: The rub is best made with a stone mortar & pestle, but a small food processor can be used.
Mash the garlic and salt into a paste in the mortar. (The salt helps the garlic break down.)
Add the juniper berries and mustard seeds, crushing them as thoroughly as possible with the pestle.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well to blend.*Available through spice catalogs such as Penzeys.
Work the rub into the ribs at least an hour before cooking. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate. These don't need to sit overnight, but can be rubbed 3-4 hours in advance.
About 45 minutes before you plan to start cooking, place the ribs in the freezer (for maximum smoke penetration).
Cook according to your desired method. I do them over direct heat (with hickory and apple for smoke), dome temp of around 250, in a rib rack.
They usually take 3 to 3.5 hours. Midway through I rotate the rack, and flip the ribs if the end toward the coals is getting brown.
Let them sit for 10 minutes before slicing.Notes:

the black mustard is the harder to find, brown works but the yellow doesnt pack the same punch. also, a bag of juniper is a lifetime investment

Thanks, Mike! Appreciate the recipe.
Re black vs brown, found an old post where Cat says...
"Several people interested in "my" (actually John Thorne's) rub/paste for ribs have had trouble finding black mustard seed. They've recently disappeared from my local markets as well, and catalogs that used to carry them no longer do - although some have brown mustard seeds. I recently bought some browns at Adriana's Caravan, a wonderful spice shop here, and was told they were 'the same' as the black seeds. I've read otherwise, so I e-mailed Rochelle Zabarkas, the store's owner, to ask about the difference. Here's her reply: "We used to carry black, brown, and yellow mustard seeds. However, over the past year and a half I have been unable to get the black seeds. For some unknown reason they are not being imported into the country. Although black and brown seeds are botanically different, the flavor is so similar that no one would be able to discern the difference." Penzey's carries the brown seeds."
My local Indian market carries the brown (maybe black too, dunno). Hope they carry juniper because their spices are all affordable.I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

No juniper berries at Patel's Indian market, but they did have 7 oz of black mustard seeds for $2.49.

And I'll bet they have more varieties of rice than you've seen before. But you won't find any wild rice or sushi rice.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
