I've made the ribs for friends and family many a time, and it has been a "smoking" success each time. It is a long process to make the perfect baked baby back ribs, so have patience and you're in for a divine treat.
I normally serve it up with coleslaw, which will feature this blog soon so stay tuned!
For the baby back ribs you'll need:
(4 persons)
2 racks of Baby Back Ribs
350ml Barbecue Sauce
2-3 tbs Honey or Dark Syrup
Dry rub:
4 tbs Salt (use refined rock salt or preferably sea salt)
4 tbs White Sugar
4 tbs Muscovado Sugar
2 tbs Chili Powder
2 tbs Chili Flakes
3 tbs Black Pepper (Ground it yourself)
1½ tbs Ground Cumin
2 tsp Dry Mustard
1 tsp Cayenne Pepper
Poke the back of the ribs between the bones where the membrane is. This will help the flavours entering the meat. Apply a good amount of the spice mix and rub it into the meat. Cover tightly in tinfoil and place meat-side down in a oven preheated to 130 C for 2 hours.
When it's done take it out and let rest for 10 minutes. Drain the juices from the ribs. Mix the BBQ sauce and the honey/syrup and apply to both sides of the meat.
Place meat-side up in a 180 C oven for 10 minutes. Take out and let rest for 5-7 minutes. Apply BBQ sauce again and repeat the process until you are satisfied with the amount of BBQ sauce coating. I normally do it 3-4 times.
