Ribs

- Mix all dry spices together in a small bowl. Taste spice mix and adjust seasonings to your liking. Set aside when ready.
- Remove the membrane from the back of your ribs. You can pull this off easily using your hands. (See the video for a step by step tutorial)
- Once you have removed the membrane from both of your racks of ribs, begin to rub a generous amount of your spice blend to the front and back of your ribs. Make sure you spread an even amount across both racks.
- Once your ribs are evenly seasoned, place ribs in a baking dish, cover with foil, and bake for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, flip your ribs, add about 1/2 cup of stock to the bottom of your baking dish, recover with foil and cook for an additional 1 hr to 1 hr 1/2 or until ribs are fork-tender and they fall off of the bone.
- Enjoy ribs as is or if preferred add BBQ sauce to them.

Notes
Stock:
Adding stock helps to keep your ribs moist and also prevents the brown sugar from burning. Add liquid as needed. If you do not have stock or broth, water will do.
PRO TIP:
-Achieve a nice char on your ribs by finishing them off on the grill. This will give you a nice added flavor. -After about 2 1/2 hours of cooking, remove your ribs from the oven, brush them with bbq sauce if desired, and finish them off on your grill. *Don’t forget to brush your grill racks with oil so that the ribs do not stick to them.* BBQ Sauce: I tend to find store-purchased BBQ sauce to be a bit too thick and overly concentrated. Often times the flavors are too sharp for my liking. I absolutely love Sweet Baby Rays, Original BBQ sauce. Even still to enhance this bbq sauce, I usually add my own fixings. I thin out the bbq sauce with a bit of low sodium stock or broth and I add a bit of maple syrup. Sometimes I even add some liquid smoke or mustard. Depending on how I am feeling and what I am making. As always, have fun with your dishes and make them your own. We are not baking so nothing has to be exact. Tried this recipe?Mention @ChefAbyssinia on FB or Instagram!
