Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 10

Baby back ribs - 2 racks
Fresh thyme - approx ¼ cup (or more)
Fresh rosemary - approx ¼ cup (or more)
Fresh oregano - approx ¼ cup (or more)
Garlic - 4 cloves
Salt - 1 teaspoon
White or Black Pepper - ½ teaspoon
Olive Oil - approx ¼ cup
White wine vinegar - approx ½ cup
Lemon

Steps:

  • Finely mince all the fresh herbs and the garlic. (I use a mini-food processor which turns it all into a sort of poultice together.) Mix in the salt, pepper, olive oil and half the white wine vinegar. Use a spoon to spread the herb mix on both sides of the ribs. Lay the ribs meat side down on the aluminum and fold the sides of the foil up to let the ribs brine inside. Pour the remaining vinegar (or more) into the aluminum container and cover the ribs loosely. Allow the ribs to brine for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. Cooking is a two-step process of slow, low-heat. Keep the ribs in their aluminum and lay them on a large baking tray that will catch any vinegar that spills out. Bake them for 2 hours at 200 degrees. Then remove the ribs from the aluminum foil and transfer them to the grill, also at 200 degrees. Turn the ribs every 15 minutes for 1 hour, and raise the temperature to 250-275 for the last 20 minutes to get a good crust. Squeeze fresh lemon juice on ribs before serving.
