Ingredients

Makes enough for 2 racks of ribs

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
  • 3 cups canned plum tomatoes, with their juices, pureed
  • 1/4 cup ketchup
  • 3 tablespoons molasses
  • 2 tablespoons packed dark-brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 2 dried ancho chiles, roasted, stemmed, and seeded

  • 3 dried chile de arbol, roasted, stemmed, and seeded
  • 4 canned chipotle chiles, pureed
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

  1. In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and cook until translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add tomatoes, and bring to a boil.
