SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS



Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs image

They say that whoever makes the most delicious thing with the fewest number of ingredients wins, which was the idea that inspired these. The recipe reminded me just how delicious pork ribs are when we don't try to do too much to them. Plus, this has to be the easiest method I've ever shared for doing ribs.

Time 7h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 rack St. Louis-style pork spare ribs

Steps:

  • Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
  • Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
  • Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
  • Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
  • Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
  • Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
  • Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

Time 5h

Yield Serves: 2

Number Of Ingredients 1

1 rack pork spare ribs, cut into individual ribs

Steps:

  • Grind all the ingredients for the spice mix in a coffee grinder to a powder.

  • Add a little water to a slow cooker and cook the ribs and their marinade on low for 2-3hrs, until the meat is very tender, almost falling off the bone. If you don't have a slow cooker, put the ribs and a little water in a casserole dish with a tight-fitting lid and put them in the oven at 170°C/325°F/Gas Mark 3 for the same length of time.
  • Drain the ribs and pat dry. Toss again in the other half of the spice mixture to coat.
  • Fill a large frying pan or wok with sunflower oil to a depth of 2cm and heat on the hob. When the oil is smoking hot, deep fry the ribs in batches for 1-2 mins. Drain on kitchen paper. Transfer to a plate and serve.
