Time P1DT4h15m

Yield 4 large/8 small portions

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 slabs pork spare ribs, 3 pounds each
Kansas City Barbeque Sauce, recipe follows
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup dry mustard
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 (about 2/3 cup)small onion, finely diced
3 cups water
1 cup (2 (6-ounce) cans) tomato paste
1/2 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup molasses
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Remove the thin white membrane off of the bone-side of the ribs. Mix together the brown sugar, dry mustard, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Massage the rub into the ribs and let sit for 1 hour or up to overnight.
  • If cooking on the grill, place the ribs meat-side down next to medium-hot coals that are about 225 degrees F. The indirect heat will cook them slower, making them tender. Allow to cook for 1 hour. Turn ribs every half hour and baste with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce. Cook until the ribs are tender, about 3 to 4 hours.
  • If cooking indoors, place in a roasting pan with a rack. Slather the ribs with the Kansas City Barbeque Sauce and tent a piece of aluminum foil over them. In a preheated 350 degrees F. oven, place the ribs, basting with the sauce every 30 minutes and removing the foil for the last 30 minutes and cooking until fork tender, about 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
  • In a small sauce pot on medium-high heat, heat the oil and add the onion, cooking until translucent.
  • Add the remaining ingredients in a large bowl and mix together. Add to sauce pan and let simmer for 30 to 45 minutes. Use to baste the pork spare ribs.

This American pork rib recipe is sure to satisfy at a barbecue - roast until tender, then finish with a sticky glaze for melt-in-the-mouth meat

Provided by Jennifer Joyce

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course, Supper

Time 3h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

50g light brown soft sugar
2 tbsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp English mustard powder
1 tsp celery salt
1 tsp garlic granules
4 racks baby back pork ribs (about 450g each)
250ml yellow mustard (we used French's Classic)
150ml cider vinegar
2 tbsp treacle
75g light brown soft sugar
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1-2 tbsp hot chilli sauce
2 tsp hot chilli powder

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Combine the sugar, paprika, mustard powder, celery salt and garlic granules in a bowl, and rub all over the ribs. Place in 2 large roasting tins with racks set inside (if you don't have racks, that's fine). Pour 150ml water into the bottom of each tin, cover tightly with foil and roast for 3 hrs until nearly falling apart. If your roasting tins are on different shelves, swap them over halfway through the cooking time. Once cooked, remove and drain the cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, to make the baste, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
  • Heat an outdoor barbecue. Whether your grill is gas or charcoal, use low heat to barbecue the ribs. Cook the ribs for 3-4 mins each side, brushing regularly with the baste, until golden and sticky. Alternatively, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7 and roast the ribs for 25-30 mins, turning the ribs over and rotating the tins halfway through the cooking time.

Tips:

  • Make sure the ribs are clean and trimmed of excess fat.
  • Use a flavorful basting sauce: The sauce should be thick enough to coat the ribs, but not so thick that it becomes gooey.
  • Apply the basting sauce liberally: The ribs should be coated on all sides.
  • Baste the ribs every 30 minutes or so: This will help to keep them moist and prevent them from drying out.
  • Cook the ribs until they are tender and fall off the bone: This will take about 2-3 hours.

Basting pork ribs is a great way to add flavor and keep them moist during the cooking process. By following these tips, you can create delicious and fall-off-the-bone ribs that your family and friends will love.
