1,5 kg Pork spare ribs
2 EL Sweet paprika powder
2 EL Brown sugar
1 EL Garlic powder
1 EL Onion powder
je 1 TL Salt, pepper
250 ml BBQ sauce
100 ml Apple cider vinegar

Preparation

  1. 1 Pat the ribs dry and remove the silver skin from the underside.
  2. 2 Mix paprika, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to make the rub and rub the ribs all over with it.
  3. 3 Prepare the grill for indirect heat (110–130 °C).
  4. 4 Cook the ribs indirectly for 2–2.5 hours, placing a bowl of water on the coals.
  5. 5 Wrap the ribs in aluminum foil, drizzle with apple cider vinegar and cook for another 30–45 minutes.
  6. 6 Open the foil, brush the ribs with BBQ sauce and glaze over direct heat for 5–10 minutes, turning once.
  7. 7 Let rest briefly and cut into rib pieces.

Notes & tips

Note: Depending on the rub and glaze, check for allergens (e.g. mustard or gluten in some sauces). The ribs cook over indirect heat — the aluminum foil phase makes them especially tender. If desired, glaze them directly over the coals at the end.
