Bourbon Baby Back Ribs

30 pounds rack baby back pork ribs, cut into 2-rib sections
4 tablespoons ground cumin

10 cups purchased barbecue sauce
2 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 1/2 cups minced red onion
2 1/2 cups bourbon
6 tablespoons chili powder

Parboil ribs on the stove for 20 minutes. Remove to large pan and sprinkle ribs with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the cumin.

Prepare barbecue (medium heat). Place ribs, meaty side up, on grill. Cover and grill 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix barbecue sauce, cilantro, onion, bourbon, chili powder and remaining cumin in heavy small saucepan; bring to boil, stirring occasionally. Place saucepan at edge of grill to keep sauce warm.

Turn ribs meaty side down. Cover and grill until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Turn ribs over again; brush meaty side generously with sauce. Cover and grill ribs until sauce sets thickly, about 3 minutes longer.

Divide ribs between plates. Serve with remaining sauce.
