Serves: 4
What you need:
1 rack baby back ribs (about 2 lbs)
6 boneless ribs (about 1/2 lb)~~optional (Note: I just had these and decided to cook, too)
2 cups buttermilk
2 tsp sea salt
2 tbl Harissa (paste or dry)
1 tbl Ras el Hanut
12 ounces your favorite BBQ Sauce
What you do:
Note: Baby Back Ribs typically are more tender, hence, less cooking time.
Combine the buttermilk, salt, Harissa, and Ras el Hanut and blend together. Pour into a large baking dish. Put the rack of baby back ribs and bones ribs in and coat well. (Note: You may need to cut the rack in half to fit in the baking dish.) Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for about 6 hours. Remove from refrigerator a least an hour before grilling .
Coat a grill with cooking spray. Heat to about 400-500 degrees. (Note: Depending upon the size/thickness of your boneless ribs, less cooking time may be needed.) Place rack of ribs on grill. Cover and cook slowly for about 8 minutes on side one getting nice grill marks. Open the lid, reduce the heat to about 300 -350 and cook another 15 minutes. Flip the ribs. Using a pastry brush, coat liberally the tops of the cooked side with BBQ sauce. Close lid (temperature about 300) and cooking another 20-30 minutes. Coat this side with BBQ sauce. Remove to a dish and cover with foil and let rest about 15 minutes.
These will be tender tasty ribs, but probably not 'fall off the bone.'
