Barbecued Ribs

From the kitchen of Patty Hykes
← Back to All Recipes

Slow-cooked pork ribs are a point of pride across the American heartland, and in NE Ohio the tradition runs deep — shaped by both the Southern cooking that came north with the Great Migration and the German-American love of pork in all its forms. Patty Hykes's version, with its unexpected Catalina dressing, reflects the playful resourcefulness of Midwestern home cooks.
