Sure, baby loin back ribs hold their own on the grill, but they’re versatile enough for the oven and slow cooker as well. For this recipe, however, we clung to tradition and prepared this lean and meaty cut on the grill with a slow and steady hand, applying a basting sauce every 30 minutes. Smothering baby back ribs in a classic barbecue sauce will do just fine, but why limit yourself? We finished with a sweet, ketchup-based sauce to round out the meal. Moist and delectable, these baby loin back ribs are proof that some things in life are worth getting messy for.

INGREDIENTS

• 2 slabs baby loin back ribs (about 4 pounds)
• 3 tablespoons Dry Spices
• 1 cup Basting Sauce
• 1 cup Sweet Sauce

DIRECTIONS

1. Place ribs in a large, shallow pan. Rub Dry Spices evenly over ribs. Cover and chill 3 hours.
2. Prepare a hot fire by piling charcoal or lava rocks on one side of grill, leaving other side empty. (For gas grill, light only one side.) Place food rack on grill. Arrange ribs over unlit side.
3. Grill ribs, covered with grill lid, over medium heat (300° to 350°) for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, basting every 30 minutes with Basting Sauce and turning occasionally. Brush ribs with Sweet Sauce the last 30 minutes.

Note: Use remaining Dry Spices as a rub on pork or chicken.
