Calories: 950kcal

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds spareribs (thin)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 yellow onion (thin)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 14 ounces canned whole tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 pounds zucchini (thin)
  • 2 tablespoons butter oil
  • 3 ounces celery (thin)
  • 2 ounces scallions (thin)
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (thin)
  • 1/2 tablespoon dijon mustard

Instructions

  • Salt the ribs on both sides and place in a slow cooker.
  • Add half of the BBQ sauce and cook for 6-8 hours on low heat. Take out the ribs and let them cool.
  • (You can complete this step a day in advance if you wish.) Finish off the ribs on the grill or under the broiler.
  • Crisp up the surface of the meat; this takes about 15 minutes total.
  • Flip the racks over at the half-way point. Serve with the squash salad and the rest of the BBQ sauce.
