Nif's Last Minute Ribs or Pork Riblets

Ingredients

• 3 lbs pork riblets, racks (pork ribs cut in half)
• water
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled, whole
• 1 tablespoon peppercorn
• 1 tablespoon sea salt
• 3 bay leaves
• favourite dry seasoning (I used Nif's Basic Dry BBQ Rub)
• freshly ground salt and pepper

Directions

1. 1

   In a large pot, bring water to a gentle boil. Add salt, pepper, whole garlic cloves and bay leaves to the water. Meanwhile remove the silver skin from the back of the racks and cut rib racks in half. Add ribs to water. Boil for 30 minutes and strain.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 350°F.

3. 3

   Cut rib racks into individual ribs and place in a baking pan lined with tin foil, for easier clean up. Sprinkle ribs with seasoning and toss. ***If you are using a salty seasoning, be careful not to use too much and don't use salt at the end. Cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Meanwhile, place a wire rack on a cookie sheet. I lined the sheet with tin foil as well. Place ribs on the rack.

5. 5

   Broil ribs until they are medium brown. In my oven, they are done after 4 minutes under a high broil setting. If you have time, you can turn them over and broil the other side. Sprinkle with freshly ground sea salt and pepper to taste. Do not add the salt if your seasoning is salty.

6. 6

   Make sure you taste them! I added more of my dry rub seasoning at this point because they needed a bit more flavour.
