Dry Rubbed Oven Baked Pork Spare Ribs

We don’t have a grill.   Every grill we have ever owned has turned into a rust pit after winter so when it comes to whipping up a rack of ribs, I have to turn to the oven.    I’ve got two dietary issues to deal with also.  Mr. Bejelly does not do well with cooked tomato products and will have a bought of heartburn if he eats them.  We also are really trying to phase out all sugar in our diet.  I have yet to find a barbeque sauce that is tomato free and sugar free so I invented the following dry rub.

Recipe type: Main Course
Author: Kelly Bejelly
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 3 hours
Total time: 3 hours 15 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
  • 2 tbsps Cacao
  • 1 tbsp of coriander
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp salt – I use Celtic sea salt that I’ve ground in a coffee grinder so you may need to tweak this.
  • 1 tsbp coconut sugar/rapadura/brown sugar
  • Cayenne- add to taste.
  • 1 rack of pork spare ribs.
Instructions
  1. Throw all the ingredients into a bowl and get them well blended.
  2. Apply this rub to both sides of your rack until it is well coated.
  3. Then you’re going to take two sheets of aluminum foil (put meat against the dull side) and sandwich the ribs between them and press all edges closed – you’re going to be steaming those ribs slowly.
  4. Cook them at 350 degrees for 2.5 – 3 hours.
  5. The meat should be falling off the bone by the time they are done. You can apply your favorite barbeque sauce on them but we love them as is
