Jim's Country Ribs

Submitted by Maryland Jim

"This is how my family has come to like "meaty" ribs. The meat just falls off the bones and is finger licking good. It's also easy to prepare."

These ribs were so flavorful! I used 3 pounds ribs, one onion, 8 cloves garlic, about 1/4 cup pepper and less than 1/4 cup salt (it just seemed like so much!). I added some hot sauce and some bay leaves, but left out the cajun because I didn't have any. Boiling the ribs with all this added so much flavor into the meat! I did wish they turned out a little less dry/more tender, maybe I should have boiled longer or cooked in the oven less. This was only my first time making ribs. Thanks for a great recipe!** Updated to state that I made these again tonight and they were the best ribs I've ever had! The key was to boil until tender, for my ribs it took closer to 1.5 hours. I also finished on the grill, which was so much better than the oven! Thank you again for such a great recipe**

I used a pressure cooker for 10 or 15 minutes instead of simmering. Then I put them in a stove top smoker dipped the BBQ sauce on both sides. Let them smoke for almost an hour. Amazingly good and with so little fat.

I too like to prepare my ribs by cooking them in water first. But just an added idea, I put an orange cut into two with bay leaves, onion, and garlic. The orange takes the fat from the ribs and adds a wonderful flavor. I then put bbq sauce on them and cook them on the grill or oven. Yummy!

Made this for dinner and I did do it a little different, in that I baked it with all ingredients (except sauce) covered in the oven as I already had potatoes baking. This worked out well and then I put them on the grill and used "Montgomery Inn Barbeque Sauce". These were just finger licking delicious!!! Made for South/Central America Region for ZWT4. Thanks Jim for a wonderful recipe!!!!

Great ribs! I loved the flavor that came from simmering the ribs in all of the seasoning - such a good idea. Thanks for sharing Jim. Made for What's on the Menu tag.
