Rosa's Righteous Ribs

Rosa's Righteous Ribs, originally uploaded by mitchancona.

My wife and I love ribs and we're always looking for new ways to prepare them. About 6 months age our friend Rosa shared with us her favorite rib recipe and it quickly became our favorite rib recipe. The best part of this recipe is that it extremely simple. Try it next time your in the mood for ribs and let us know what you think of the recipe.

olive oil
red wine vinegar
salt
pepper
oregano
thyme

Place ribs on a large platter. Sprinkle top side of the ribs with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano and thyme. Make sure to use enough of each so that the whole top side gets treated. Let the ribs marinate all day or overnight in the refrigerator.

Prepare the grill by preheating all burners. Once the grill is hot turn down the outside burners to medium heat and turn off the center burner(s). Place the ribs bone side down in the center of the grill (where the burner(s) are off) cook for 20-25 minutes. Flip ribs and cook for another 20-25 minutes.

That's it! ENJOY!

On this particular night I paired the ribs with one of Jolly Pumpkin's Biere de Gardes "Fuego Del Otono". Her are my tasting notes:

Pours a hazy dirty orange with fluffy white head. Nose is intense. Tart fruit with complex spices, damp earth, vinegar, yeast, madeira - different but very inviting. The mouth feel is thin and crisp. Flavors follow the nose nicely with a tart/sour canvass splashed with dark fruit, oak, cinnamon, clove. This beer drinks more like a wine than a beer and countered the ribs salty/dry spice flavors nicely.
