Memphis-Style Barbecued Ribs
For the rub:
3 Tbs (45 ml) kosher salt
3 Tbs (45 ml) whole black peppercorns
3 Tbs (45 ml) sugar
2 Tbs (30 ml) whole mustard seeds
2 Tbs (30 ml) paprika
1 Tbs (15 ml) dried oregano
2 tsp (10 ml) whole cumin seeds
2 tsp (10 ml) whole fennel seeds
2 tsp (10 ml) celery seeds
1 tsp (5 ml) dried thyme
Crushed red pepper flakes to taste
2 - 3 slabs of pork baby back or spareribs
Combine all the ingredients for the rub in a spice grinder or electric blender and process until slightly coarse. Rub the mixture into the ribs 30 minutes before cooking. Cook the ribs over indirect heat until the meat is very tender and pulls back from the ends of the bones, about 2 hours. Serves 4 to 6.
