GRILLED PORK SPARERIBS WITH SODA BOTTLE BARBECUE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix salt, brown sugar, black pepper, granulated garlic, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl.
• Place spareribs on a rimmed baking sheet; pat dry with paper towels. Using a paring knife, remove silver skin from underside. (It should come off in a single sheet; start to separate it with the tip of your knife, then pull away with your hand. Removing the silver skin allows the dry rub and barbecue sauce to penetrate the meat; if you purchased ribs from a butcher, the silver skin may have already been removed.) Sprinkle dry rub all over ribs, patting to adhere. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of barbecue sauce all over ribs. Wrap in foil and chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.
• Prepare a grill for medium indirect heat (for a charcoal grill, bank coals on one side of grill; for a gas grill, leave one or two burners off); oil grate. Strive to maintain a grill temperature between 280°F and 300°F. Place foil-wrapped ribs, bone side up, on grate over indirect heat. Cover and grill 30 minutes. Uncover grill and turn ribs over. Cover and grill until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of ribs registers 145°F-160°F (peel back foil as needed to check), 20-30 minutes.
• Unwrap ribs and brush on both sides with more barbecue sauce. Grill, bone side up, uncovered, until sauce darkens and meat very tender and falling off the bones, 10-12 minutes. Using large tongs, carefully transfer ribs to a cutting board. Let rest 5-7 minutes before cutting between bones into individual ribs.
• Serve ribs with remaining barbecue sauce on the side.

BRAISED PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Brown spareribs in frying pan in small amount olive oil.
• Remove spareribs and place in oven proof pan.
• Add brown sugar, vinegar, soya sauce, ginger and garlic in frying pan and cook at low heat until melted and blended.

SLOW SMOKED PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Combine the salt, brown sugar, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and celery seed in a bowl; set aside. Remove all heavy fat from the ribs, then remove and discard the membrane covering the rib side. Cut the slabs into 3 to 4 bone portions, cutting evenly between the ribs to leave some meat on each portion.
• Rub the spice mixture into the rib portions front and back until all of the spice mixture has been used. Place the ribs into a resealable plastic bag, and refrigerate 4 hours to overnight. Letting the ribs sit overnight will give them the best flavor.
• When ready to cook, fill the water pan of your smoker with the apple, orange, lemon, lime, onion, red wine, and water. If you do not have a water pan, place the ingredients into a metal bowl, and set the bowl on the drip tray, above the heat source. Smoke with the wood chips of your choice at 250 to 300 degrees F (120 to 150 degrees C) until the ribs are no longer pink, and the meat easily pulls from the bone, 4 to 6 hours or more depending on the smoker and temperature. Change the wood chips according to manufacturer's directions.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-low heat, and lightly oil grate. Stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, and ketchup in a bowl to make the barbeque sauce; set aside.
• After the ribs are fully cooked, remove them from the smoker, and brush them with the barbeque sauce. Cook on the preheated grill, brushing occasionally with the sauce, until the sauce has become sticky and infused into the ribs, 15 to 20 minutes.

PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker for cooking between 250 and 275 degrees F. Trim the excess fat from the spareribs and cut out any sharp or cracked bones. Remove or score any silver skin.
• Liberally rub the ribs with Sawdust Rub, shaking off the excess. Place the ribs in the smoker and cook, spritzing with apple juice every 30 minutes, until the fat starts to render from the surface of the ribs, about 3 hours.
• Spritz a piece of heavy-duty foil with some apple juice and drizzle with about 3 tablespoons Original BBQ Sauce. Arrange the ribs on the foil, meaty-side down, and fold the foil on the ribs so that steam can escape but the juices are trapped inside. (If you multiply this recipe to do multiple racks, make sure each rack gets its own foil packet.) Put back in the smoker meaty-side down. Smoke until the meat pulls back from the bones by about 3/8 inch, another 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Let rest for 30 minutes, then slice into ribs.
• Mix together the salt, pepper, brown sugar, paprika, chili powder, granulated garlic, granulated onion and cayenne in a bowl and break up any clumps by hand.
• Combine the ketchup, vinegar, Worcestershire, molasses, brown sugar, hot sauce and lemon juice together in a large pot and whisk until blended. Place over medium heat and bring to a simmer, then add the chili powder, granulated garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper and cayenne. Continue to simmer 30 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep from burning.

• Drain preserved vegetables and chop into 1" pieces, crush garlic and halve if necessary, slice and dice chillies.
• Set aside the remaining 2.5 cups of hot water to be added into the wok during simmering.
• Heat 2 tbs oil in a wok or saucepan on medium flame/heat. Fry garlic in oil till fragrant, then add spareribs and seasoning into wok, reducing heat if necessary to prevent splatter.
• Continue stir frying for about a minute, spareribs should be about half-cooked, then add the preserved vegetables, and continue stir-frying, till fragrant, roughly another half a minute.
• Add the 2.5 cups of hot water to the wok, leave it to simmer for about 20 minutes on low-med heat, and you're done!
• You can add more soy sauce/sugar/water to taste at this point, adding more seasoning and water can turn this dish into more of a soupy nature as well, great during winter!
• Serve with steamed rice.

• 3. Add 1/4 cup of water to the cooker. Cover and cook at high pressure for 20 minutes. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Run cold water over the pressure cooker to release the pressure. Transfer the ribs to the prepared baking pan, meaty side up. Boil the cooking juices until reduced to 2 cups, about 5 minutes. Transfer the hoisin pan sauce to a bowl.
• 4. Preheat the broiler and position a rack 8-inches from the heat.

• In the Crock Pot add ¼ cup marinate and then the ribs, turn over once to coat all the ribs.
• Then turn on your Crock Pot, cover, place on "High" setting and cook for about 3-4 hours; the heat and cooking time will vary depending on the model Crock Pot used.

• Serve and enjoy!
• Notes:.
• #1-I made this basic recipe by completely cooking the pork spareribs in a cast iron pan (and with a Mojo Sauce) but the meat came out a little on the tough side. However, it was moist and better the second day (leftovers) when heated up in a microwave; see Photo #1 Mojo Sauce. So I then made this recipe again in a Crock Pot and it came out much better and to my liking; see Photo #2 Mustard-Honey-Mayonnaise Topping.
• #2- A reply to the 2 Star Reviewer, "Thank You for reviewing my recipe." I have now revised the wording a little to make this recipe clearer; Step #5- again use 1 piece of RAW garlic in a press (Not Roasted Garlic) and as an Alternative Option I had recommended using Harvey Bristol Cream which is a little sweeter then dry sherry, Step #11- It is common to place pieces (slivers) of RAW garlic in Puerto Rican Pernil Pork Roasts prior to cooking (that is where the idea came from) -- You are right the M-H-M might have masked the Mojo Garlic Flavor a little. To Quote a Zaar Chef "There is NO Right and NO Wrong with cooking" ... "Cooking is about personal tastes and flavors.".

PORK SPARERIBS, TUSCAN STYLE

Steps:

• Pour the olive oil into a sauté pan wide and deep enough to hold all the ribs. Place over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the ribs in a single layer and brown them slowly, turning until all sides are browned. Transfer the ribs to a plate and set aside. To the same pan, add the onion and parsley and cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, then add the garlic, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper. Return the ribs to the pan and move them around with tongs to let them absorb the flavor and the heat. Pour the wine into the pan and scrape the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to loosen any flavorful bits. Cook until the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes, then add the tomatoes and their liquid. Cover with a lid and simmer for about 1½ hours, until the meat is tender and the sauce is reduced to a creamy consistency. Season with salt and serve from a platter or on individual plates.
