I haven't been able to cook outside for quite awhile due to my work schedule, illnesses, and of course weather. I needed to change that with a visit to my butcher for some fresh pork spareribs. But now weatherman says snow and 20F on Sunday. &@¤☆
So planning on an oven cook , found a Bruce Aidell recipe for these ribs Tuscan-Style.
* Saturday afternoon made up rub/paste
* Applied to ribs
* 24 hours later
* Weather forecast changed....onto the PK with 3 hickory chunks.
* Chugging away
* Done
* Resting
* Sliced
* Plated with an eggplant dish and salad. Buttered bread ala Smokin Don
* Closeup
These ribs tasted like no others we have had, but they are fabulous and will be in my regular rib rotation!
Here is Bruce's rub/paste
2T Evoo
1 1/2T Kosher salt
1 1/2T fennel seeds
2 tsp blk pepper
2 tsp chopped sage
2 tsp chopped thyme
2 tsp paprika
