BBQ Baby
Back ribs
- 2 racks pork spareribs, up
to 1.35kg each
BASIC BARBECUE RUB (enough for about 6-7 racks)
- 5 tbsp kosher salt
- 5 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 tbsp soft dark brown sugar
- 2 tbsp paprika
- 2 tbsp chilli powder (optional)
- 2 tbsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp ground coriander
- 2 tbsp cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tbsp ground ginger
For the rub
In a small bowl, combine all the rub ingredients and mix
well. (If you want to multiply the quantities, this mixture will keep, covered
and stored in a cool, dry place, for months; it's great with any pork cut or
with chicken.)
For the ribs
Preheat the oven to 100°C (200°F/Gas %). Coat the ribs
thoroughly with the barbecue rub, set them on baking sheets, and roast until
the meat is tender and pulls easily from the bone (about 3 hours). Remove the
ribs from the oven.
When the ribs are nearly done, either chill till needed or
light up the BBQ.
Cover with Chili BBQ sauce.
You want a lower heat on the BBQ. Put them on the grill for
as long as your patience allows - at least until a light crust has formed,
which can take from 3 to 10 minutes per side, depending on your BBQ.
Of course, the longer the ribs cook, the better. Brush them
with sauce during the last minute of cooking.

- To use, either brush sauce on ribs and cook on a medium heat bbq, being careful not to burn. Once they have a nice crust and ready to serve,brush again with bbq sauce and serve.
- OR put the meat in a ceramic dish, pour over the sauce, and to marinate for 8—24 hours in the fridge. Let the meat come to room temperature, then cook on a medium oven or BBQ.

- Turn the dough out onto a floured board and knead, adding
as much of the remaining flour as necessary to prevent the dough from
sticking, until the dough is satiny and just slightly sticky (about 8
minutes).
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning once to coat.
Cover loosely and let rise in a warm place until it has doubled in bulk (1-11/2
hours).
- Divide the dough into quarters and form each piece into a
ball. Sprinkle a baking tray with flour and put the balls of dough on
the tray, then cover loosely and let rise again for 30 minutes.
- (At this point, you can cover the dough with cling film
and refrigerate it until about an hour before you want to grill the
bread.)
- Turn on your BBQ grill. When temperature is medium you're
ready to cook.
- Stretch each ball of dough into a rough circle or
rectangle about 3mm thick and 25cm wide.
- Brush with additional olive oil and sprinkle with salt,
then place it directly on the grill and cook until black spots form on the
bottom and bubbles form on the top (about 4 minutes). Flip the bread over
and grill the other side until gold' and crusty (3-4 minutes more). Remove
from the grill and serve immediately.
