At Vee Culinary, gluten free barbecue ribs are one of our favorite summertime dishes. We are always looking for different ways to prepare them, and we love testing out new flavor combinations.

Barbecue sauces and spices found in grocery stores aren’t typically gluten-free, so we make our own. (Problem solved!) You can also find a traditional barbecue sauce in Chef Vedam’s cookbook: “Vedam’s Gluten Free & Fabulous! Recipes From A Southern Gay Househusband.” This classic recipe features brown sugar and molasses for sweetness and vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and sriracha for tang and heat.

While we adore a traditional sauce, this recipe features a drool-worthy island flair. The onions, red and orange bell peppers, garlic, mango, and coconut palm sugar meld together to create an other-worldly tropical taste.

The recipe calls for pork country-style ribs, but this barbecue recipe would work beautifully with chicken, beef, fish, or shrimp as well.
