Provided by Kelsey Nixon

Time 3h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Spanish paprika
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon chile powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 racks (4 to 5 pounds each) pork spareribs
1 (15-ounce) can tomato puree
1 cup molasses
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 cloves garlic, grated

Steps:

  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil, enough to fold over the ribs, approximately twice the size of the baking sheet.
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine the sugar, paprika, salt, chile powder, cumin, garlic powder and cinnamon. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the rub and set aside.
  • Place the ribs on the prepared baking sheet. Generously sprinkle the ribs on both sides with the spice mixture. Really rub it in! Place the ribs meat-side down and fold the foil tightly around the ribs to make a sealed packet. Bake the ribs until they become pliable but not falling apart, 2 to 2 1/2 hours. You know the ribs are done when the meat pulls away from the bone. Once the ribs are tender, carefully pour off 1/2 cup of the accumulated juices into a bowl and reserve. Keep the ribs wrapped in the foil to keep warm.
  • For the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the tomato puree, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, reserved rub and the garlic. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking juices and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Just before serving, slather the ribs with the tangy BBQ sauce and char them on the grill pan, basting them with the sauce and turning as they char up. (If you don't have a grill pan, you can slather them with sauce and stick them under the broiler to char.) Serve the ribs with extra BBQ sauce on the side.

These ribs were amazing! The cumin scent was amazing, and the sweet and tangy BBQ sauce was the perfect complement. I will definitely be making these again.

These ribs were a little too spicy for me. I think I would use less chili powder next time.

I'm not a fan of BBQ sauce, so I made these ribs with a different sauce. They were still really good!

I made these ribs in my slow cooker and they were amazing! I cooked them on low for 8 hours and they were fall-off-the-bone tender.

I didn't have any cumin seeds, so I used ground cumin instead. It still turned out great!

I found that the ribs took a little longer to cook than the recipe said. I had to cook them for an extra 30 minutes.

These ribs were a little too sweet for my taste. I think I would cut the amount of brown sugar in the sauce in half next time.

I'm not a big fan of cumin, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cumin flavor was actually really nice with the BBQ sauce. The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and so flavorful.
