While the price of beef continues to skyrocket, I’ve noticed pork has been trending downward. I’m not sure if it’s the result of surpluses on the provincial side or a glut of pork across Canada. Whatever the case, there has never been a cheaper time to eat pork.

I’m must admit, I was raised a beef girl, but when it comes to ribs, I really can’t tell the difference. Today’s recipe, Hoisin Barbecued Ribs, can be used on either pork or beef, the meatier the rib the better.

Hoisin Barbecued Ribs

• 2 - 3 pounds uncooked ribs
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/2 cup hoisin sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• sea salt
• fresh ground pepper
• 1 tbsp BBQ Burger Seasoning (from Spice Depot - or any barbecue seasoning)

Directions

Place ribs in large pot filled with water and boil them for about 60 minutes on medium heat. Add 1 tbsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground pepper and 1 tbsp barbecue seasoning for flavour.

Combine remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes.

Drain ribs and place on a foil lined metal pan. Brush sauce over ribs (meaty side up) apply generously. Bake in oven at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes - I recommending cooking them slowly and reapply the sauce at least once, so the flavour really sinks into the meat.

These are finger licking good ribs and a great dish to serve at the cottage.

Cheers,

Julie
