Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
1 1/2 tablespoons fennel seeds
2 teaspoons sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1 1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
6 lbs pork spareribs
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, preferably one aged for at least 5 years

Steps:

In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, rosemary, sage, thyme, fennel seeds, paprika, coriander, crushed red pepper, allspice, salt & pepper. Rub the spice paste all over the spareribs and let stand at room temperature for 2 hours or refrigerate overnight.
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Arrange the ribs on a large, rimmed baking sheet or roasting pan, meaty side up. Roast the ribs for 2 hours or until tender.
Preheat the broiler. Brush the meaty side of the ribs with the balsamic vinegar and broil 6 inches from the heat until browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut between the ribs and serve.
