Recipes Grilling Ribs
There are many different recipes for grilling ribs. Choosing from among the many different recipes for grilling pork ribs involves determining how you like your barbecued ribs as well as how much time you have for preparing grilled ribs.
If you are running short on time you might consider using one of the recipes for grilling ribs that allow you to parboil the ribs before you actually place them on the grill. Recipes for grilling ribs that call for boiling the ribs first allow for the ribs to be almost entirely cooked during the parboiling process, before you actually place the ribs on the grill. This can help to greatly reduce the amount of time involved in the grilling process. Then, once the ribs are placed on the grill they are then basted with your favorite barbecue sauce and the sauce is allowed to caramelize, giving the ribs a wonderful crust on the outside.
There are also recipes for grilling pork ribs that do not call for boiling the ribs first. These recipes will take longer to prepare, so you should make sure that you have plenty of time available to grill the ribs.
Recipes for cooking pork ribs on the grill are often based on either a wet rub or a dry rub. Many recipes for grilling ribs call for a rub of some type. A rub is a mixture of herbs or spices that are applied to the meat prior to cooking. A dry rub is just what it sounds like, a dry mixture of herbs and spices. A dry mixture can become a wet rub when liquids are applied to the mixture. A wet rub is similar to a paste. Rubs are an excellent way to add taste and flavor to meat due the way they tend to stick to the meat during the grilling process.
You will find that many recipes for rubs contain either chili powder or paprika. The reason for this is to add color to both the rub and the cooked meat. Of course, you can also experiment with a variety of different rubs, even making up your own rub based on your favorite herbs and seasonings. Either way, rubs are a great way to produce ribs that are tasty and will practically fall off of the bone.
