Lunch: Bourbon Baby Back Ribs

Thin slices of sweet potato can be grilled alongside the ribs, then drizzled with maple syrup. Have coleslaw and corn bread on the side, too. End with lemon meringue pie.

Ingredients

1 1 3/4- to 2-pound rack baby back pork ribs, cut into 2-rib sections
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cumin
1 cup purchased barbecue sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons minced red onion
2 tablespoons bourbon
2 teaspoons chili powder

Instructions

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Sprinkle ribs with salt, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon cumin. Place ribs, meaty side up, on grill. Cover and grill 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce, cilantro, onion, bourbon, chili powder and remaining 3/4 teaspoon cumin in heavy small saucepan; bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Place saucepan at edge of grill to keep sauce warm.
Turn ribs meaty side down. Cover and grill until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Turn ribs over again; brush meaty side generously with sauce. Cover and grill ribs until sauce sets thickly, about 3 minutes longer.
Divide ribs between plates. Serve with remaining sauce.
