BBQ Spareribs

It was a such a gorgeous sunny day today, instinctively I wanted to BBQ something. I ended up not cooking at all, but decided to add some of my favourite BBQ recipes to the blog. First up is my Spareribs. I know some people might find it evil to boil the ribs before BBQing, but some of us don't have the luxury of the 4 hour BBQ.

Here goes...

a slab of pork side ribs
1/2 an onion
water
bit of salt
favourite BBQ sauce

Cut the side of ribs into sections that include 2 to 3 ribs. Place into large pot. Slice onion, throw on top of ribs. Cover with water to about 1-2 inches above the ribs. Salt the water. Bring to boil. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour. Drain.

Remove and spray BBQ grill with non-stick cooking spray. Replace grill, heat BBQ to medium-high heat. Place ribs on BBQ, brush with sauce. Cook for about 7 mins., turn ribs over and brush with BBQ sauce. Cook another 7 mins. or until heated through. Place in deep dish, place some more BBQ sauce on top and serve.

**Remember, ribs are already cooked by boiling, so all you are really doing is re-heating them on the BBQ (and cooking the sauce on).

Enjoy,
Myrna
