This recipe is a work in process, but this is my current method for preparing ribs. This recipe started with a basic recipe from my friend Linda, who got it from another friend, baking the ribs in a broiler pan over water. That causes the ribs to literally fall apart when you try to grill them, so I've been refining the recipe, adding my own touches. Ingredients:
4 baby back rib racks |
2 tablespoons ground cumin |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
2 tablespoons paprika |
2 tablespoons garlic powder |
2 tablespoons onion powder |
salt, to taste |
black pepper, to taste |
4 bay leaves |
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce |
1 cup barbecue sauce |
heavy duty aluminum foil |
Directions:
1. Remove membrane from back of ribs. This is a must! If you don't remove the membrane, don't bother making the recipe.
2. Apply rub to both sides of the ribs. The measurements given in the ingredient list are approximate - go with amounts you prefer and add/remove any rub ingredients to fit your taste.
3. Lay a bay leaf on top of each rack of ribs. Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil - wrap them very well, either all in one big piece of aluminum foil, or individually wrapped.
4. Put in a large roasting pan. You can put them directly on the oven rack, but I use a roasting pan in case juices escape.
5. Bake at 200F for 6-8 hours (I prefer about 7-8 hours).
6. Remove ribs from oven and unwrap.
7. Generously apply hot sauce to ribs. Brush on barbecue sauce, then grill until nicely browned.
