MEXICAN BARBECUE COUNTRY STYLE RIBS
This is a recipe i made up 2 weeks ago. It is medium spicy and my family loved it. We love ribs and sauerkraut so I served sauerkraut on the side. I only use Franks sauerkraut, it has just the right taste. You may not think that the ingredients don't sound good but all the flavors will come together.

- Mix the dry rub ingredients with ½ tsp flaky sea salt, then massage into the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hr, or ideally up to 1 day in the fridge.
- To make the sauce, heat the oil in a small saucepan and soften the garlic for 1 min. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, plus 2 tbsp water and simmer for a few secs until the sugar melts. Season with salt and set aside.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the ribs in a roasting tin in 1 fairly snug layer. Pour in 100ml hot water, cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 2 hrs until the meat pulls easily from the bones. Drain off any fat. The ribs can be cooled and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
- For the final stage of cooking, get the barbecue ready and wait until the coals are glowing white and grey. Cook the ribs for 4-5 mins on each side until dark golden and hot through - use tongs to turn them carefully. Brush with some of the chipotle sauce and give the ribs 1 min more to char here and there. Serve on a platter with the rest of the sauce for spooning, lime wedges, plus a big bowl of Smoky corn & avocado salsa (see related recipes, right).

BARBECUE COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS
This basic barbecue has big flavor and no ketchup or Coca-Cola (no disrespect meant to those who favor that type of seasoning). There's no fire involved; you use a standard oven. The spicing trends toward Caribbean, with plenty of sweet spice and as much Scotch bonnet or habanero chile heat as you wish. County-style ribs are meaty bone-in pork chops cut from the shoulder end of the loin, so use those or a whole bone-in pork shoulder roast. Cooked until it's ultratender, it can be cut in chunky pieces and served in its juices with beans, rice and cornbread. Or shred the cooked meat to make pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. It's quite good accompanied with a crisp slawlike cabbage salad or your favorite version of coleslaw.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in a Dutch oven or a roasting pan with a lid. Sprinkle with salt. In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast allspice, peppercorns, coriander and cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Using an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind spices and transfer to a small bowl.
- To the ground, toasted spices, add smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, annatto (if using), garlic, molasses, vinegar and tomato paste. Stir well, then rub mixture all over pork.
- Add 4 cups water to pot. Add split chiles, if using (omit if you don't like really spicy barbecue), and bay leaves. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees, and continue to bake, basting occasionally for 2 hours, until meat is fork tender and falling off the bone. Pour off juices and remove rising fat. Cut pork into chunks or shred. Serve with pan juices, on a bun or roll, and/or with the cabbage salad. (Alternatively, refrigerate meat and juices for up to 2 days for easier fat removal, and reheat.)
- To make optional cabbage salad, place cabbage in a low, wide bowl. Sprinkle with salt and toss well. Add orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, jalapeño, cumin and scallions. Toss well and leave to macerate for at least 1 hour; repeat tossing once or twice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.
Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Select meaty pork ribs with good marbling for a flavorful and tender result.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to allow the rub and smoke to penetrate better.
- Use a flavorful rub: Combine spices, herbs, and brown sugar to create a delicious rub that will enhance the ribs' taste.
- Smoke the ribs low and slow: Cook the ribs at a low temperature (around 225°F) for several hours to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
- Baste the ribs: Apply a mixture of melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and spices to the ribs during the smoking process to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Let the ribs rest: After smoking, let the ribs rest for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
