• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (at least 12 hours), turning every couple of hours.
• Remove from the refrigerator and bring the ribs to room temperature.
• Preheat the grill on low.
• Place the ribs, meat side down, and slow grill the ribs, turning and basting every 15 minutes.

ASIAN LIME RIBS

Steps:

• Prepare ribs and get ready to grill.
• Combind remaining ingredients for rub and apply to ribs.

• Allow 10 minutes to stand before cutting when done.

TEQUILA BBQ SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Begin by trimming the ribs of any excess fat or sinew. Remove the thin membrane from the back side of the ribs and discard. Make the rub by combining the cumin, garlic, onion powder, paprika, salt, pepper and ancho chile powder together in a mixing bowl.
• Set a few large sheets of foil out (one set for each slab). Place 1 rack on each sheet and divide the dry rub between each slab. Rub the mixture into the ribs on both sides, and then fold the foil over to form a sealed pouch around each rack. At this stage make sure the racks are meat-side down. Place each pouch on a roasting tray and bake in the oven for 2 hours. After 2 hours, open up the foil and peel back so the ribs are exposed. Carefully turn the meat over so the meat side is on top, and then cook for 1 1/2 more hours with the open foil. When done, the ribs will be tender and the meat will have shrunk back from the bones. Finish under the broiler to add more color, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve the ribs with Tequila BBQ Sauce.
• Begin by placing the dried chile in a bowl with 1/4 cup hot water to rehydrate. In a medium saucepan, add the tomato paste, light brown sugar, tequila, lime juice, garlic and molasses. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Add in the chile and soaking water, season with salt and pepper and simmer until the flavors meld together, 2 to 3 minutes. Process with a blender until smooth and serve with the ribs as a dipping sauce.

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS WITH ROMESCO

Steps:

• For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and get the ribs started first.
• Mix together the salt, pepper and paprika. Remove the thin membrane from the bone side of the ribs and discard. Lightly sprinkle the seasoning over both sides of the ribs then place the racks, rib-side down on a baking tray. Place in the oven and bake until the ribs have a nice crust (also known as "bark") on the outside and the meat will be pulling away from the bone, 3 1/2 to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, prepare the romesco sauce: Set a large saucepan over medium heat and coat with a generous amount of olive oil. Add the bread cubes and toast until golden, 6 to 7 minutes. Season with some salt and toss the bread cubes as they cook so they brown evenly all over. When done, remove from the pan and set aside. Add the almond slivers to the dry pan and toast until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside. Coat the pan with more olive oil and add the garlic and saute until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the drained red peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the tomatoes. Season with more salt and the cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer until the liquid has slightly reduced, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
• To a food processor, add the almonds and the tomato and bell pepper mixture. Pulse until well chopped, and then add the bread cubes and continue to process. Add the sherry vinegar and, while the processor is running, drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil. Continue to blend until the sauce has emulsified. Taste the sauce and season once more with salt if needed.
• Remove the ribs from the oven, and while still hot, squeeze some fresh lime juice all over the racks. The ribs will absorb the lime juice and this will complement the rich, fatty spare ribs perfectly. Cut the ribs at every second bone and serve with the romesco sauce on the side.

HERBED LEMON SPARERIBS

Steps:

• In a large stockpot, cover ribs with boiling water, cover and bring to boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes or until ribs are tender.
• Drain and let cool, pack into large heavy plastic bag.
• Combine oil, garlic, parsley, lemon rind, lemon juice, thyme, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, pepper, mint, allspice, cumin and cayenne, pour over ribs, coating meat evenly.
• Tie bag closed, place in large bowl and marinate in refrigerator for 8 to 24 hours, turning bag over periodically (Note: there is just enough marinade to cover ribs, not to swish around).
• Remove ribs, reserving any marinade, bring ribs to room temperature.
• Cook on greased grill over hot coals or on high setting for about 10 minutes per side or until meat comes away from bone, brushing occasionally with any marinade.
• Season with salt to taste after cooking.
• Cut into serving sized portions of 3 to 4 ribs.
• Garnish: Cut lemons into wedges.
• Garnish ribs with lemon wedges, and lemon rind and thyme, if using.

STICKY HOISIN SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Remove the membrane from the rack of spareribs, then cut into individual ribs. Place the ribs in a large resealable bag.
• Whisk to combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, dark brown sugar, rice vinegar, ketchup, sriracha, ginger, Chinese five-spice, red gel food coloring and garlic in a medium bowl. Reserve 1/2 cup of the marinade and pour the remaining marinade into the bag with the ribs. Seal the bag and massage to coat the ribs with the marinade. Place the bag on a small baking sheet or plate and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the ribs from the marinade and discard the liquid. Place the ribs in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, cover tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking, brushing with the reserved marinade every 10 to 15 minutes, until cooked through and well browned, 40 to 50 minutes more.
• Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with sesame seeds, scallions and lime wedges.

LEMON-LIME COUNTRY STYLE PORK RIBS

Steps:

• Combine ingrediets for your marinade and pour over meat or veggies. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
• Heat small saucepan over medium. Add olive oil, garlic, and chili powder. Saute for about one minute. Add remaining ingrediets and combine. Simmer until your desired consistancy is reached.
• It is up to you how you bring the marinated ingredients and BBQ sauce together. You can use the grill, oven, or stove-top. I personally like to brown my country ribs on all sides then add the finished BBQ sauce to the ribs. I simmer with a lid on until the ribs are done.
• Enjoy!

MEXICAN-STYLE CHILLI RIBS

Steps:

• Mix the dry rub ingredients with ½ tsp flaky sea salt, then massage into the meat. Marinate for at least 1 hr, or ideally up to 1 day in the fridge.
• To make the sauce, heat the oil in a small saucepan and soften the garlic for 1 min. Stir in the rest of the ingredients, plus 2 tbsp water and simmer for a few secs until the sugar melts. Season with salt and set aside.
• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the ribs in a roasting tin in 1 fairly snug layer. Pour in 100ml hot water, cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for 2 hrs until the meat pulls easily from the bones. Drain off any fat. The ribs can be cooled and kept in the fridge for up to 2 days.
• For the final stage of cooking, get the barbecue ready and wait until the coals are glowing white and grey. Cook the ribs for 4-5 mins on each side until dark golden and hot through - use tongs to turn them carefully. Brush with some of the chipotle sauce and give the ribs 1 min more to char here and there. Serve on a platter with the rest of the sauce for spooning, lime wedges, plus a big bowl of Smoky corn & avocado salsa (see related recipes, right).
