Episode: BBQ Ribs (TU0307H)

Ingredients

1/2 cup molasses
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup dijon mustard
6 ounces chipotle chiles in adobo
56 ounces cannelloni beans; canned, drained, rinsed
kosher salt
black pepper
8 slices pancetta
6 sprigs fresh rosemary; leaves
extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

1. Special equipment: 4 individual crocks

2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

3. Put the molasses, ketchup, mustard, and chiles in a blender and puree. Scrape that into a big bowl, add the beans and season with salt and black pepper, and gently toss so that the beans are coated with the molasses mixture. Divide the mixture evenly amongst individual crocks. Top each crock with a piece of pancetta, sprig of rosemary and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Bake in the oven until the bacon is browned and fat is rendered, about 25 minutes
