BARBECUE COUNTRY-STYLE PORK RIBS
This basic barbecue has big flavor and no ketchup or Coca-Cola (no disrespect meant to those who favor that type of seasoning). There's no fire involved; you use a standard oven. The spicing trends toward Caribbean, with plenty of sweet spice and as much Scotch bonnet or habanero chile heat as you wish. County-style ribs are meaty bone-in pork chops cut from the shoulder end of the loin, so use those or a whole bone-in pork shoulder roast. Cooked until it's ultratender, it can be cut in chunky pieces and served in its juices with beans, rice and cornbread. Or shred the cooked meat to make pulled pork sandwiches or tacos. It's quite good accompanied with a crisp slawlike cabbage salad or your favorite version of coleslaw.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place pork in a Dutch oven or a roasting pan with a lid. Sprinkle with salt. In a small, dry skillet over medium heat, toast allspice, peppercorns, coriander and cloves until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Using an electric spice grinder or a mortar and pestle, grind spices and transfer to a small bowl.
- To the ground, toasted spices, add smoked paprika, cayenne, cinnamon, annatto (if using), garlic, molasses, vinegar and tomato paste. Stir well, then rub mixture all over pork.
- Add 4 cups water to pot. Add split chiles, if using (omit if you don't like really spicy barbecue), and bay leaves. Cover and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce heat to 300 degrees, and continue to bake, basting occasionally for 2 hours, until meat is fork tender and falling off the bone. Pour off juices and remove rising fat. Cut pork into chunks or shred. Serve with pan juices, on a bun or roll, and/or with the cabbage salad. (Alternatively, refrigerate meat and juices for up to 2 days for easier fat removal, and reheat.)
- To make optional cabbage salad, place cabbage in a low, wide bowl. Sprinkle with salt and toss well. Add orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, jalapeño, cumin and scallions. Toss well and leave to macerate for at least 1 hour; repeat tossing once or twice. Garnish with cilantro sprigs.

Steps:
- Prepare a smoker or set up a grill for indirect heat to 200 to 225 degrees F. I use oak wood for my smoke, but pecan or cherry wood also work well.
- Rinse and then pat dry the ribs. Place in a rectangular pan and coat with a liberal amount of rub on all sides, shaking off any excess. Smoke or grill the ribs for 3 to 4 hours. If the grill or smoker becomes too hot, open the lid and spray the ribs with apple juice, otherwise do not open the lid. If you're looking, you're not cooking.
- Remove the ribs, wrap in heavy-duty foil and cover tightly. Return to the smoker or grill for another 2 to 3 hours. Pour the BBQ sauce into a squirt bottle. Uncover the ribs and generously apply BBQ sauce. Reduce the temperature to 150 to 175 degrees F. Once the sauce has "melded" to the ribs, remove and let rest. That's it, good luck.
Tips:
- Choose the best ribs: Look for meaty spare ribs or baby back ribs with good marbling. Avoid ribs with excessive bone or fat.
- Prepare the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure tender meat. Season the ribs generously with your preferred spices and herbs.
- Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is key to creating delicious country-style ribs. Experiment with different sauces, such as a tangy barbecue sauce or a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce.
- Cook the ribs properly: For fall-off-the-bone ribs, cook them low and slow. You can use a smoker, oven, or slow cooker to achieve tender and juicy ribs.
- Let the ribs rest: After cooking, allow the ribs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more flavorful ribs.
Conclusion:
Country-style ribs are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With careful preparation and cooking, you can create tender, juicy, and flavorful ribs that will be a hit at any gathering. Remember to choose high-quality ribs, season them well, use a flavorful sauce, cook them properly, and let them rest before serving. With a little effort, you can impress your friends and family with delicious country-style ribs that they'll love.
