Grey Cup Ribs

I got a slow-cooker from my besties last month for my birthday. This is only the second thing I've made in it. Who knew slow-cookers were this amazing?

2 racks of pork back ribs
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, diced
1 stalk of celery, diced
2 minced garlic cloves
2 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp salt (I left this out)
1/2 tsp pepper
1 bottle (455 ml) barbeque sauce (I used Cattle Boyz original as it is gluten free)

Trim fat from ribs. Cut into 2 rib portions; placed on rimmed baking sheet lined with tinfoil. Broil until browned; about 7 minutes per side. Transfer to slow cooker.

Meanwhile, in large nonstick pan, heat oil over medium heat. Fry onion, carrot, celery, garlic, thyme and pepper. This takes about 5 minutes until onions are softened. Remove from heat and add barbeque sauce.

Pour sauce into slow-cooker to cover ribs. Stir them a few times to get them nice and saucy. Cook on low for 8-10 hours.
