Finger-licking, Country-style, Barbeque Pork Ribs!


After I made this dish the other day, I've decided it'll be one of my favorites. So simple and sure to impress your mother-in-law!

Equipment:
  1. Big Bowl or Ziploc Bag for marinating meats

Ingredients:
  1. Marinade -- a pinch of salt, five spice powder (as much as you want!), black pepper (as much as you want, although if you don't like it too spicy, go slow with it), a bottle of barbeque sauce (I used Tony Roma's bottled barbeque sauce), and if you like, some regular or hot mustard
  2. Country-style pork ribs --- 4 lbs (thick cut ones are better as they retain moisture when you bake them)
  3. Flat-leaf parsley -- as much as you like, it's mainly for garnishing :)

Method:
It can't get any easier. Preparation time was like 5 minutes! First, coat the pork with the marinade and leave the meats in the fridge. The longer you marinate it, the better. I left mine for 24 hours. Then when you're ready for those good ribs, just pop them in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for one hour (Don't overcook cos the ribs will go dry!).

Note:
1) I didn't use a ziploc bag when I last did them, but it's really easy with one of those. You can just mix the marinade in the bag, then put the meats in, zip the bag up, and tilt the bag a few times to coat the meat.
2) With the access marinade, boil it in a saucepan and pour over ribs when they're done.


Final result: Absolutely delicious ribs, still juicy on the inside and with that tasty char-grill on the outside. Mmmm...
