Best Mums Tuesday Night Spare Ribs Recipes

SPARE RIBS IN OVEN

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 275-300 F (depending on how strong your oven is) and line an appropriately sized baking sheet with aluminum foil (for easy clean up), then place a sheet of parchment paper on top***
• Trim the rack of spare ribs from any excess fat, pat them dry with a paper towel. Turn the rack with the meaty side down and identify the membrane that runs across the length of the rib bones. Peel it off using a paper towel to eliminate slipperiness.
• Liberally season the rack of ribs on both sides and place onto the baking sheet. If you need to cut the rack in two to achieve a better fit, do so.
• Cover the ribs with a sheet of parchment paper, then aluminum foil - tuck it around the edges of the baking sheet to create air tight seal.
• Place in the oven for 2 hours.
• After 2 hours unwrap the cover and check the meat for tenderness. If satisfied, remove the covering, season with more dry rub or brush with BBQ sauce on both sides. (If you feel that the meat can use a little longer in the oven, go for another 20 mins and check again).
• Place the uncovered ribs back in the oven for 20-30 mins more, as needed (you want a nice crust to form and the meat to be super tender).
• Transfer to a cutting board, use tongs and a sharp chef's knife to slice the ribs, brush with BBQ sauce again (if using) and serve.

MUM'S TUESDAY NIGHT SPARE-RIBS (REVISED)

Steps:

• 1. Pre-heat oven to 350F. Rinse ribs under cold water to remove any bone shards
• 2. Cut individual ribs between the bones and place in a dutch oven. Liberally shake pepper over them and mix the ribs around to get full coverage. Cover the pot and put them in your pre-heated oven.
• 3. You have 45 minutes to go do something :) How about stepping outside with a coffee and taking pictures of the gorgeous day!
• 4. After 45 minutes, reduce heat to 325F and remove pot from oven and drain any grease that has accumulated. Recover and put back in oven. *Old coffee cans are great grease catchers.
• 5. This is what I like about this recipe. Another 45 minutes to fill. You are not a slave to the kitchen for 2 solid hours :)
• 6. After another 45 minutes, remove pot from oven and drain grease again, if necessary.
• 7. Pour VH sauces over ribs in pot and mix around to coat ribs. Put pot back in oven (uncovered) for 1/2 hour. To make Mum's original ribs, this is where you would pour the can of tomato sauce on the ribs and follow the recipe to the end. Potatoes go better with this method than rice. I think so anyway :)
• 8. Use this time to prepare your side of rice or potatoes. Give the ribs a stir in the oven after about 15 minutes and turn the oven off. Leave the ribs in the oven to take advantage of the last of the heat. They will be perfect by the time your side is ready.
• 9. When your side is ready, remove ribs from oven and spoon them onto your rice or beside your potato and use the sauce in the pot to drizzle over everything. It is a sweet sauce, so don't overdo it.
