Marinating ribs in coca cola

[RealSNR]

Somebody told me to do this. Anyone ever try it?

You season the ribs with whatever you want, (dry rubs probably work best) and then let the ribs sit in a bowl of coke for a few hours. They're ready to go after that.

I guess you don't taste the coke at all, and it really does a phenomenal job of tenderizing the meat.

I would venture that you could marinate 2 slabs of meat - one in Coke, the other DP and not be able to taste the difference.

you're absolutely right I'm sure. Just here in NY people always say Dr. Pepper all the time.

Something different.

I used this again this summer at a party in Chicago. So if a bunch of ****ing midwest hipsters start making their burgers this way it's kinda my fault. Hey, I didn't invite them.

Anyways they were a hit.

Out of Dr. Pepper's 23 distinct flavors, I'm sure one sticks out better than Coke...even after cooking.

I normally boil the ribs first to get rid off the extra fats and blood.

So you like to ruin your food before you cook it.

Speaking of roux, I remember that you were able to make it in an incredibly fast time by turning up the heat. I've followed suit, and can make it in about 15 minutes now, instead of the 30 to 45 it used to take me. Just keep stirring and it's all good.

[MOhillbilly]

yup. screw that 30 minutes of stirring.

Try grilling leeks instead of the green onion.

[MOhillbilly]

ive grilled green onions and they arent bad if you foil the grate.

Good grief, try something new for a change. Swap out those walnuts and add a pecan or a brazil nut or two. Life is meant for living.

As a topping for tacos?
