Recipe: Microwave Ribs

Microwave Ribs with Homemade Sauce

The ribs take about 40 minutes to cook in the microwave but still a lot faster than the oven and easier.

8 oz of Hunts "Italian" Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons of Instant Onion Flakes
1 teaspoon of Worcestershire Sauce plus a few dashes
1 teaspoon of mustard (French's or whatever)
1/2 teaspoon of salt (your can omit the salt)
1/2 teaspoon of pepper (this can be reduced if you want)
1/4 teaspoon of Hot Pepper Sauce (can be omitted)
1/8 teaspoon of Garlic Flakes
a wack of ribs

That's it for the sauce.. mix it all together and let it sit for a bit so the onion and garlic flakes will absorb the sauce a bit. Not long.. This keeps in the fridge if you want to make it ahead.

Cut spareribs into individual ribs. Simply cut through the meat between the bone. This makes nice finger food size pieces. Great for parties

Arrange the rib pieces in a large microwave dish. If you have a flat microwave dish use it. I have one that is one foot square and is a perfect fit for the bottom of my microwave.

Cover with wax paper and cook for 14 minutes on 70 (roast) then drain the fat. You should always get rid of the excess fat floating in the bottom of the dish.

Next, flip over to cook the underside for another 14 minutes on 70 (roast) covered. When finished drain the fat off again.

Next, baste underside (which is face up) with BBQ sauce, flip over and baste the top with sauce also. Place wax paper over and cook again for 9 minutes on 70 (roast).

Let stand for 5 minutes and enjoy! Put any remaining sauce in a small tub and label it and put it in the freezer. It keeps well.
