Remove membrane from non-meaty side of ribs by loosening membrane at one end, holding with a paper towel, and pulling across the rib bones; discard membrane. Brush meaty side of ribs with adobo sauce. Sprinkle Mexican Rib Rub evenly over all sides of ribs; rub in with your fingers.

Place rack of ribs on grill rack over drip pan (cut rack of ribs to fit, if necessary). Cover; grill for 1-1/2 to 1-3/4 hours or until ribs are tender, basting with Mop Sauce four times during the first 1-1/4 hours of grilling. (For a gas grill, preheat grill. Reduce heat to medium. Adjust for indirect cooking. Add wood chips according to manufacturer's directions. Grill as above.) Discard any remaining Mop Sauce. Serve ribs with Honey-Chipotle Barbecue Sauce. Mop Sauce

CHIPOTLE BARBECUE RIBS

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Place the ribs on the prepared baking pan meat-side up. Sprinkle them with the paprika, garlic powder, 1 tablespoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Rub the spices all over the ribs.
• Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake until the meat is very tender and can easily be pulled off the bone, about 2 hours.
• For the barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring often, until very soft and golden brown, about 20 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add the ketchup, orange juice, Worcestershire, chipotles and adobo and 1/2 cup water. Increase the heat to bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to keep at a simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and puree until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids). Alternately, an immersion blender can be used in the pot.
• Finish the ribs: Preheat the grill to medium-high (or set the oven to broil).
• Reserve about a cup of the barbecue sauce for serving alongside the ribs. Brush a small amount of the remaining sauce on the bone side of the ribs and a generous amount on the meaty side.
• Grill the ribs, meaty-side up, until the underside is lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Turn the ribs over and grill until the meaty side is charred in spots, 3 to 5 minutes (if using the oven, simply broil for 3 to 5 minutes). Transfer to a cutting board and cut each rack in half. Serve immediately with the reserved sauce on the side.

HONEY CHIPOTLE BBQ SAUCE

Steps:

• Lightly coat the bottom of a large sauce pan with vegetable oil and bring to medium-high heat. Meanwhile sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of salt onto a small area of a cutting boards. Place your minced garlic on top of this. Take a chef's knife and turn the blade paralell to the board, then place the fingers of your free hand against the side of the knife blade (this should be facing up now) away from the sharpened edge. Press the blade down against the garlic and pull the knife along the board towards you in very short strokes. Be careful to keep the sharp side of the blade against the board and away from you at all times. Be sure to pull the garlic back into a pile and toss it with the salt on occasion. Add salt if there isn't enough friction to crush the garlic. Continue this until you have achieved a paste like consistency. (If this process as described is unclear or undesirable then 1-2 tablespoons of garlic paste can be substituted. There are also numerous demonstrational videos online if I simply wasn't clear enough. Try a search for "how to make garlic paste".).
• Once the pan has come to temperature add the onion along with a healthy pinch of salt and saute for several minutes, stirring occasionally, until it has become transparent.
• While the onion is cooking open the can of chipotle peppers. If you desire a sauce with a smokey medium heat split the peppers open and scrape down the insides to remove the membranes and seeds. If this is your first use of chipotles this is highly recommended. If, however, you desire a sauce with a more intense heat feel free to use some or all of the seeds/membranes. In either case roughly chop the peppers and reserve the adobo sauce (this is the packing liquid from the peppers). As with all hot peppers you should be careful not to touch your eyes or any other sensitive areas until you have washed your hands thoroughly.
• Once the onion has become transparent add the garlic paste. Continue cooking for a few minutes, usually about 2 should do.
• Stir the lemon juice, black pepper, paprika, dry mustard, and cumin into the onion and garlic mixture. Cook this mixture for only another minute or two.
• Carefully place the onion and garlic mixture into a blender. Add the red wine vinegar, adobo sauce, chipotles, and worcestershire sauce. Puree all ingredients until they reach a smooth consistency. This can be done with a food processor or immersion blender if your prefer, however I would highly recommend a good quality blender be used instead.
• Return the contents of the blender to your large saucepan and add the tomato sauce. Stirs these together thoroughly while bringing the sauce to a simmer. Continue cooking covered for 10-15 minutes.
• Check the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add the liquid smoke here if desired. Stir the honey into the sauce slowly. For best results I would suggest adding the honey in a slow stream in two or three separate installments; stir thoroughly while pouring and cook the sauce for a few minutes between additions while stirring constantly.
• Return the sauce to a simmer and cook covered for an an additional 15-20 minutes. Check the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed. If a thicker consistency is desired continue cooking to reduce the sauce (also bear in mind the sauce will thicken as it cools).
• Allow the sauce to cool completely then refrigerate.

• Season the ribs on both sides with a sprinkling of salt and a grinding of black pepper and rub inches Place the ribs in a 2-gallon, resealable plastic food storage bag and add the cooled sauce. Refrigerate for 4 to 24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
• When ready to cook the ribs, preheat the oven to 350°F Line a large roasting pan or a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Fit a rack in the pan and place the ribs on the rack. Pour the sauce into a saucepan and gently heat over medium heat for 5 minutes. Brush the ribs with the sauce.
• Roast the ribs for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, basting lightly and turning every 20 minutes, until the meat begins to pull away from the bones. The ribs can be made ahead and left to stand for up to 2 hours either in a cool kitchen or in the refrigerator.
• Just before serving either preheat the broiler on high or heat the barbecue to medium-high. Brush the ribs lightly with the sauce and broil or grill on the barbecue for about 2 minutes, or until browned and bubbly. Cut between the ribs and pile them on a platter. Heat the leftover sauce to a gentle boil and simmer for 3 minutes before serving with the ribs.
