In the quest for those tender bites of fall-off-the-bone goodness, you are going to need the patience to slow-cook the ribs in the oven, with plenty of spices, of course.
To keep it perfectly Paleo, you are also going to need 1 cup of homemade BBQ sauce, which can and should, be prepared ahead of time because you never know when the craving for BBQ will hit.
When making barbecue sauce at home, be sure to cook up a large pot of it; you can then freeze individual portions for up to three months. It's a good thing to have on hand to add to slow cooker shredded chicken with a salad on the side - perfect for lunch in a jar...
It does take some time to extract all the tantalizing morsels, 3-4 hours or so, but don't be dismayed by that fact. Chances are good that you will cook this meal on your day off or on the weekend so that you have time for other things while baking - such as decluttering your kitchen or going through your spice rack and pantry to make sure everything is up to date and fresh.
You could also spend the day cooking (while cooking) and preparing for the week ahead, choosing from any number of Paleo slow cooker recipes. This slow-cooker beef and pepper soup will really help to warm up your days; magically, it nourishes your soul too.
