Ingredients
Method
Remove membrane from underside of ribs, if attached. Cut ribs into 2-rib portions; place in large bowl. Sprinkle Cajun seasoning over top; toss to coat, pressing to adhere. Transfer ribs to slow cooker. Whisk together ketchup, vinegar, sugar and Worcestershire sauce; pour over ribs, stirring to coat. Cover and cook on low until ribs are tender, 8 to 10 hours. Skim fat from surface of cooking liquid.
Using slotted spoon, transfer ribs to cutting board; tent with foil. Whisk cornstarch with water until smooth; whisk into slow cooker. Cover and cook on high until thickened, about 15 minutes.
Toss together green onions, cilantro and jalapeño pepper; sprinkle over ribs. Serve with 2 cups of the sauce; save remainder for another use.
Test Kitchen Technique: Removing the slippery membrane from the underside of ribs can be tricky. To make it easier, use the tip of a sharp knife to lift the membrane from one end, then grip with paper towel and pull off.
