INGREDIENTS:

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped onion
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 pounds Italian sausage, casing removed

2 tablespoons minced parsley

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the onion and cook until soft.

In another skillet, heat the remaining oil until hot. Brown the sausage until cooked through; set aside.
Remove the polenta from the heat and stir in the cheeses.

Scatter the sausage over the eggs and polenta and sprinkle with the parsley.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes until the egg whites set up. Let sit for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to place on a serving platter. Serve.

BBQ Dr. Pepper Ribs Fri, 4 Jul 2008 12:15:12 -0400
INGREDIENTS:

4 pounds pork ribs
3 cups Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper, divided
3 cups ketchup
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons chili powder
4 tablespoons ground black pepper
2 tablespoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

METHOD OF PREPARATION:

Place the ribs in a large non-reactive glass or ceramic dish. Pour 2 cups of Coca-Cola or Dr. Pepper over them, reserving the third cup of soda for a sauce to be made later. Let the ribs marinate, tightly covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated, overnight. About 6 1/2 hours before you plan to serve the ribs, start a fire in your smoker/cooker and begin heating a quantity of coals.
Pour the remaining 1 cup of soda into a blender or food processor. Add the ketchup, brown sugar, chili powder, pepper, dry mustard, and cinnamon; mix until smooth and well blended.
Add some well-soaked aromatic wood such as hickory or mesquite to the glowing coals in your cooker.
Set a pan filled with hot water in place, and smoke cook the ribs, covered at 220 to 240 degrees for about 3 hours. After this initial smoking, turn the ribs, slather them with the sauce, check the supply of wood and water in their respective pans, and continue cooking for another 3 hours, this time turning the ribs every 30 minutes and mopping them with sauce each time they are turned. By the end of the 3 hours, they should have long since reached the internal temperature of 160 to 170 degrees recommended for pork.
After the last basting of the ribs, place the remaining sauce in a medium-sized saucepan and simmer over low heat until quite thick. Serve the sauce in dipping bowls with the finished ribs.
