PORK RIBS

spare ribs v2

Method

  • Place the bones into a large pot suitable to hold the bones, cover with cold water and bring to the boil
  • Cook for 10 minutes and then drain and cool
  • Meanwhile combine all of the rub ingredients in a medium bowl
  • Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper or tin foil (it will make it a lot easier to clean)
  • Rub the spareribs on all sides with the spice rub
  • Put on the baking sheet and wrap in cling film
  • Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or ideally as long as possible
  • Preheat either your BBQ or grill on your oven to medium- hot as you are wanting to get that wonderful grilled, smoky caramelized look and taste
  • Place the ribs onto or under the hottest part of the grill and cook for 2 minutes, turn the ribs cook for another 2 minutes
  • Now turn the oven to 190C on bake for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour, you want the bones to be tender almost to the point where the meat is about to fall from the bones
  • Serve and enjoy!

Comments

I have made this recipe many times and it always pulls through. If you have the time put the rub on the raw bones and let sit for at least 2-6 hours and bake covered for about 2 hours on 150C or otherwise do the faster version above.

Thanks to HAVOC PORK for providing the spare ribs the used in the cooking demonstration at the Otago Farmers Market
