Preparation facts

Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients

2 lbs pork back ribs

2 Tbs dried chopped onion

1 Tbs onion powder

4 tsp ground thyme

2 tsp salt

2 tsp ground allspice

1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1 Tbs sugar

2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp cayenne

Directions

In a small jar with tight-fitting lid, shake together all dry ingredients until well-blended. Rub dry mixture onto all surfaces of ribs. Grill ribs over indirect heat in covered grill, turning occasionally, until ribs are very tender, about 1-1/2 hours (OR roast ribs on rack in shallow pan in 350 degree F. oven for 1 1/2 hours). Cut into 1- or 2-rib portions to serve.
