NIF'S LAST MINUTE RIBS OR PORK RIBLETS
I went to a surprise party tonight. I decided at the last minute to make ribs and they went over really well with everyone! These were very tender and had lots of flavour. The best part? They are incredibly easy to make and are the quickest ribs I have ever made. You can also use regular sized ribs - these were good for an appetizer at the party. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large pot, bring enough water to cover the ribs to a gentle boil. Add salt, pepper, whole garlic cloves and bay leaves to the water. Meanwhile remove the silver skin from the back of the racks and cut rib racks in half. Add ribs to water. Boil for 30 minutes and strain.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cut rib racks into individual ribs and place in a baking pan lined with tin foil, for easier clean up. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning and toss. ***If you are using a salty seasoning, be careful not to use too much and don't use salt at the end. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place a wire rack on a cookie sheet. I lined the sheet with tin foil as well. Place ribs on the rack.
- Broil ribs until they are medium brown. In my oven, they are done after 4 minutes under a high broil setting. If you have time, you can turn them over and broil the other side. Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and pepper to taste. Do not add the salt if your seasoning is salty.
- Make sure you taste them! I added more of my dry rub seasoning at this point because they needed a bit more flavour.

Tips:
- Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for grilling, as they are tender and flavorful. Spare ribs are also a good option, but they are a bit tougher and take longer to cook.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will prevent them from becoming tough.
- Season the ribs: There are many different ways to season ribs. You can use a simple rub made with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, or you can get more creative with your seasonings. Some popular options include brown sugar, chili powder, and cumin.
- Cook the ribs: Ribs can be cooked in the oven, on the grill, or in a smoker. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you use. When the ribs are cooked, the meat should be tender and fall off the bone easily.
- Glaze the ribs: Glazing the ribs is a great way to add extra flavor and moisture. You can use a variety of glazes, such as barbecue sauce, honey garlic sauce, or teriyaki sauce.
Conclusion:
Ribs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are grilling them in the backyard or cooking them in the oven, there are endless possibilities when it comes to preparing ribs. By following these tips, you can make sure that your ribs turn out perfect every time.
