Salt Pork Riblets Recipes

SALT AND PEPPER RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
• Combine the salt, pepper and garlic powder together in a bowl.
• Place the ribs on a lightly oiled baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the ribs with the salt mixture.
• Bake for at least 2 1/2 hours, until the meat is pulling off of the bone.
• Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat then add the garlic and onions.
• Cook until the garlic has browned slightly.
• You have two options here:
• Option 1: If you want to brown the green onions for a deeper flavour ( shown in my photos) then take the ribs out and place on top of the stove. Pour/brush the oil and garlic mixture over the ribs, then return to the oven. Cook until the onions are the desired flavour. Remove, sprinkle with a little extra salt and serve.
• Option 2: Remove the ribs and brush/pour the oil and garlic mixture all over them. Serve immediately.
• Place ribs on a serving platter, spooning any leftover garlic oil over the top.
• Serve and enjoy!

SALT AND PEPPER SPARE RIBS

Steps:

• Mix salt, black pepper, white pepper, cayenne, and garlic powder together in a small bowl. Set spice rub aside.
• Stir Dijon mustard and vinegar together in a small bowl.
• Place ribs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Turn the ribs over so that the meat side is down. Use the tip of a small, sharp knife to make some very shallow slashes every few inches through the membrane that covers the ribs. Poke the knife 3 or 4 times between each rib bone, about 1/4 inch deep.
• Brush about 1/2 of the Dijon mustard mixture on top. Sprinkle with about 40% of the spice rub. Turn the rack over and brush on the rest of the mustard and vinegar mixture. Sprinkle on the rest of the rub, reserving 1 or 2 teaspoons in case you want to use it to season the cooked ribs later.
• Refrigerate the ribs, uncovered, 4 to 12 hours before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Remove ribs from the refrigerator.
• Cook in the center of the preheated oven for 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and baste with the pan drippings. Continue to cook until very tender and the tip of a knife slides in very easily, about 1 1/2 hours more.
• Remove from the oven, baste again, and let ribs rest for 15 minutes before cutting and serving.

BONNIE'S SIMPLY PORK RIBLETS

Steps:

• 1. WHAT ARE RIBLETS? Riblets are simply smaller pieces cut from a full rack, while rib tips are meaty chunks from the underside of spare ribs that contain cartilage but no bone. Both are inexpensive and easy to cook. They can be grilled, but we prefer ours pan fried in a cast iron skillet, western style!
• 2. HOW TO COOK RIBLETS. Trim and discard the membrane away from the underside of the riblets. Season with salt and pepper. Heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil in the cast iron skillet over medium heat. Note: There is a meat side and a bone side to the riblet. Place the BONE SIDE down in the hot oil (the meat side will be facing up) and let it cook until it looks like the meat is starting to separate from the bone. You will only turn the riblet once. Even though you are cooking the side with no meat, the riblet is cooking. Then turn the riblet so the meat side is down in the oil, and cook until the riblet is well browned and done to the bone. This will take about ten minutes for each side. Remove the riblets as they brown onto paper towels to drain.
• 3. SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve with BBQ sauce, Ranch Dressing, and a side of https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/side/vegetable/andy-s-amazing-coleslaw.html?r=4 Good Eats!
