COUNTRY RIBS AND ORZO

Steps:
- 1. For the Country Style Pork Ribs: Preheat Oven 300 degrees. Adjust the seasonings to taste and the amount of pork ribs being prepared. Combine all of the ingredients for the rub in a small bowl. Rub the meat with the mixture and place in a baking dish. Bake: 1¼ to 1½ hours Prepare the Orzo as directed; close to the time when the ribs will be ready. When the orzo is plated combine the lemon juice with the chopped basil and a tablespoon of olive oil and pour over the orzo when plated.

- Combine the ribs and orzo: Once the ribs are cooked, add them to the orzo and stir to combine.
- Serve immediately: Country-style ribs and orzo is a delicious and hearty meal that can be served with a variety of sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a green salad.
