3. Cook for 50 to 60 minutes or until the pork is cooked through. Transfer the ribs to a large plate. Strain the cooking juices into a bowl; refrigerate for the dirty rice.
4. Meanwhile, in a saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, salt, and black and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes; cool.
5. Light a charcoal grill or turn a gas grill to high. Brush the ribs with the barbecue sauce. Grill for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned. Brush with sauce, turn, and grill 4 minutes more. Reserve 4 ribs for the rice. Serve the remaining ribs with the remaining barbecue sauce. Lisa Zwirn
