And heavy on the BBQ Sauce.
Because what are ribs without tons of sauce? Not messy enough, that’s what.
Ok, but let’s talk about ribs for a second. Growing up I almost never ate them. It wasn’t that I did not like them. I think it was more that I hated how messy they always were. To be honest, I still do. I am weird and I hate eating messy food and having messy hands. I don’t really know why it bothers me so much, but it does.
However, I am learning to get over it because ribs are fun and they scream summer and we all know how much I am into summer right now.
Now let’s talk about THESE ribs. I know that peanut butter and ribs together seems weird and maybe even gross to a few of you, but please hear me out. First off, I just need to say that these ribs are awesome. Very different, yes, but sometimes the traditional BBQ ribs can get old, barbecue after barbecue, you know? So that is when these ribs come into play.
I first thought of the idea after looking back at these peanut butter burgers I made from my favorite restaurant back In Rocky River, Ohio, Bearden’s. Peanut butter and meat go really well together, so why not try it on some ribs? I was pretty excited about the idea and it has been developing and changing slightly over the last couple weeks. I finally found some ribs that looked good and I went for it….and added some Thai flavors because it just seemed right.
It was. Really, really right.
I know ribs may seem a little intimidating, but I think the secret is cooking them long and slow and then grilling them before eating. And lots of sauce. We love sauce over here.
No but really, ribs are pretty simple. They take a while, but they are simple. Just marinate, bake and grill. The BBQ sauce only requires one bowl and while the slaw does have a lot of ingredients you really just have to toss them all together. No big deal.
AND everything can be prepped in advance making them perfect for summer entertaining. You can even cook the ribs fully through and then just grill them before you are ready to eat, making things a little less hectic come dinner time.
Oh and did I mention that they are extra sticky? Because they are, and wow, it is so good. It’s all in the sauce.

Bring on the sticky! The messier the ribs, the better. This recipe looks amazing.
Those are some great looking ingredients for the marinade and BBQ sauce.
Dyin’ over this, especially that BBQ sauce. AMAZING!!!
You are speaking my love language!!
I’ve only cooked ribs at home once but have been wanting to do it again. Especially after seeing this amazing display!
These look incredible! I think peanut butter is a fantastic idea. These pictures are so gorgeous, what amazing, glossy, colorful ribs!
These are GORGEOUS to look at, and I bet their even better to eat! I actually think peanut butter in a rib sauce sounds fantastic! I always love your Thai variations on recipes, because, aside from Mexican (which is hard to beat), Thai is my favorite cuisine!
Wow, these look amazing! You know I love anything Thai inspired 🙂 And peanut butter goes with everything.
What what a fabulous summer dinner!
