Halloween - Ribs and Guts

 

Halloween - Ribs and Guts

A plastic skull with BBQ pork ribs and spicy sausage intestines! With a bloody tomato sauce of course...it's all about presentation!!

You just marinate two racks of ribs in your favorite BBQ sauce overnight (You can also use some BBQ spice rub to add some spiciness) and then bake them for an hour popping in your "intestines" or sausages in half way through. Just add a skeleton head on top!

Ingredients:

2 racks of ribs, (about the same length and width ideally)
1 bottle bbq sauce
3 tablespoon dry spice rub (see recipe at the end)
500g/1 pound spicy sausages
1 skeleton skull 
 
Preheat oven 400F

• Step 1 - Marinate the ribs with the BBQ sauce and dry spice rub in a zip lock bag for several hours or overnight.
• Step 2 - An hour before you bake them take out from the fridge and allow to come to room temperature. 
• Line a baking tray with parchment. 
• Place the ribs on the tray with the excess sauce and bake for 1 hour. 
• After 30 minutes place the sausages on another tray and bake.  
• If you buy sausages that are joined they are already arranged in an intestinal pattern but if yours aren't then arrange them now as they will hold their configuration roughly. 
• When done, carefully lift them onto a serving tray and place intestines underneath the ribs and the skull atop. 
• Give scissors or a knife and napkins for guests.
