Runaway Five-Spice Ribs

Runaway Five-Spice Ribs      "Runaway Five-Spice Ribs" is available in PDF format print friendly version

The complex aroma of garlic, herbs, spices and citrus. The sizzle of saucy ribs cooking on the grill. The tender meat pulling away from the bone. The succulent flavours playing on the palate. With all of its sensory appeal, this dish is a runaway hit.

Combine first 9 ingredients in a 9 x 13 inch (22 x 33 cm) baking dish.

Add ribs and turn to coat. Chill, covered, for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain marinade into a saucepan. Simmer on medium-low until thickened. Cook ribs on indirect medium heat for about 1 hour, turning occasionally, until meat is tender and starting to pull away from the bones. Cook for 30 to 45 minutes, turning often and brushing with marinade, until ribs are glazed. Cover with foil and let stand for 10 minutes. Cut into 3-bone portions. Makes about eight 3-bone portions.

Tip: Before cooking ribs, wash them and peel away the membrane or “silver skin.” If left on the meat, this membrane will toughen and prevent any seasonings from penetrating it while it cooks.

Garnish:
sesame seeds
