Rosemary Garlic Baby Back Ribs

Submitted by Irmgard

"I like this recipe from Canadian Living. You can marinate the ribs for as little as one hour or as long as 24 hours and they don't require long precooking like some other rib recipes do. They do, however, require a full hour on the barbecue, so make sure your tank is topped up!"

Amazing recipe! I recommend using “robust” olive oil for a floral component and consider extra red pepper if you like a little bite. This rub adds plenty of flavor and the lemon juice puts this recipe over the top. I’ve made ribs for 25+ years and this is my new favorite recipe! I’ll be making this again this weekend for friends!
