MEMPHIS DRY-RUB MUSHROOMS
This showstopper - using a dry rub adapted from Greg Collier, the chef and co-owner of Leah & Louise in Charlotte, N.C. - is an opportunity to explore different mushroom varieties. Black oyster mushrooms give a brawny bite, and effortlessly hold the soulful seasoning while getting the crispest, crunchiest edges. Fuzzy white lion's mane or even portobellos work, too; just buy the biggest mushrooms you can find. This recipe uses Worcestershire sauce, which typically includes anchovies, so be sure to seek out vegan Worcestershire if you'd like to make the dish vegan. Serve with sweet potato pikliz.

Steps:
- Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well. Reserve 1/4 cup rub for the mushrooms and put the rest in an airtight container for another use, such as chicken, salmon or cauliflower.
- Prepare the mushrooms: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Using a slightly damp kitchen towel, wipe the mushrooms to remove any dirt. (Don't rinse the mushrooms or submerge them in water.) Carefully cut or tear the mushrooms into 6 large pieces about the size of a hand.
- Place the mushrooms on a large sheet pan and drizzle them with the oil and Worcestershire sauce. Gently massage the reserved 1/4 cup dry rub into the nooks and crannies of the mushrooms.
- Roast the mushrooms on the top rack until deeply browned and crisp at the edges, about 40 minutes.

MEMPHIS DRY-RUBBED BACK RIBS
When you go to the barbecue joints in Memphis, you can typically get your ribs wet or dry, the difference being that the wet ribs will be finished with a pretty heavy slather of a tomato-based, fairly sweet barbecue sauce, while the dry ribs will be finished with an additional dusting of the house barbecue rub. I happen to like the dry-rubbed version better, but there's usually a bottle of sauce on the table so I can add a little if I want. The most famous of all the dry rib joints in Memphis is The Rendezvous and I really like their ribs. They use loin baby back ribs and they cook them over charcoal until done, then they finish them with another layer of their delicious dry rub. I hope you like my version. These would go very well served with white beans and cornbread.

Steps:
- At least a half hour and up to 4 hours before you plan to cook the ribs, peel the membrane off the back of the ribs and trim any excessive fat. Season the ribs liberally on both sides with the Rib Rub. Refrigerate.
- Prepare the grill for cooking over indirect heat at 300 degrees F using apple or cherry wood for flavor. Place the ribs directly on the cooking grate, meaty-side up. Cook for 1 hour. Flip and cook another 30 minutes. Flip again and cook until they are nicely caramelized and golden brown, about another 30 minutes, but may vary depending on your grill. Transfer the ribs to a platter.
- Lay out two big double-layered sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, each big enough to wrap a whole slab of the ribs. Transfer the ribs to the foil, meaty-side up. Fold the foil up around the ribs into a packet. Seal the packets snugly, being careful not to puncture the foil with the rib bones. Return to the grill for 45 minutes to 1 hour to reach your desired degree of tenderness. The best way to determine the doneness is to open the foil after 45 minutes and feel the texture of the meat. It should be very tender. Transfer the foil packets to a platter. Raise the temp of the grill to 400 degrees F. Remove the ribs from the foil and return to the cooking grate. Sprinkle lightly with additional Rib Rub #99. Cook for 5 minutes. Flip and sprinkle the other side lightly with the Rib Rub and cook for 5 minutes. Flip one last time and cook for 5 minutes more. Remove the ribs to a platter. Serve 1/2 slab to each guest.
- Combine all ingredients, mix well, and store in an airtight container.

MEMPHIS DRY-RUB RIBS
This Juneteenth showstopper, using a dry rub from Greg Collier, the chef and co-owner of Leah & Louise in Charlotte, N.C., is an ode to the flavors of the Mississippi Delta. The smoky, sweet, salty pork ribs slow roast in the oven, yielding tender meat seasoned with a traditional barbecue dry rub. You can substitute the pork for slab beef spareribs with equally good results, or use mushrooms for a vegetarian approach. Crushed peanuts and sweet-potato pikliz make the ribs a meal.

Steps:
- Make the rub: In a large bowl, combine all rub ingredients and mix well.
- Prepare the ribs: Rinse the pork ribs then pat dry and place on a medium sheet pan, fat side up. Coat the ribs all over with the dry rub. Place in the fridge uncovered for at least 7 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Transfer ribs to rack and cook, uncovered, 1 1/2 hours. Cover with foil and cook for an additional 1 hour. The ribs will be done when they have an internal temperature of 180 degrees and the meat pulls away from the bone.
- Let rest for 30 minutes before slicing into individual ribs. Garnish with crushed peanuts, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right mushrooms. For this dry rub recipe, it's best to use large, meaty mushrooms like portobello or shiitake. You can also use cremini or button mushrooms, but they will be more tender and delicate.
- Use a flavorful dry rub. The dry rub is what gives these mushrooms their amazing flavor. Be sure to use a rub that contains a variety of spices and herbs. Some good options include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, chili powder, and oregano.
- Massage the mushrooms with the dry rub. This will help the rub to adhere to the mushrooms and give them more flavor. Be sure to massage the mushrooms gently, so you don't break them.
- Cook the mushrooms over medium heat. Cooking the mushrooms over medium heat will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from drying out. If you cook the mushrooms over high heat, they will likely burn on the outside before they are cooked through.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the mushrooms, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly. If you need to cook a lot of mushrooms, do it in batches.
- Serve the mushrooms immediately. These mushrooms are best served hot and fresh out of the pan. You can serve them as a side dish or main course. They're also great for topping sandwiches, burgers, and tacos.
Conclusion:
Memphis Dry Rub Mushrooms are an easy and delicious way to enjoy mushrooms. The dry rub gives the mushrooms a flavorful crust, while the inside remains tender and juicy. These mushrooms are perfect for a quick and easy meal or as a side dish for a special occasion. So next time you're looking for a new way to cook mushrooms, give this recipe a try.
