Description

These Iberico ribs will take your BBQ game to the next level! With plenty of fat to keep them succulent, they are ideal for long, slow cooking. Top up the coals as necessary throughout cooking but aim to keep on a low heat throughout. You will need good quality charcoal for this recipe. 


If you want to speed things up, you could boil the ribs for an hour then add the rub and cook them on the BBQ for an hour to finish.

  1. Trim any loose pieces of fat from the ribs, then turn them over and remove any thin membrane from the bone side - this is thin and papery, so once you prise it up you will be able to pull it off with your hands.
  2. Lightly coat the ribs with the rub and leave them to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  3. Set up your barbecue for indirect cooking. Cook the ribs, bone side down, on the opposite side of the barbecue to the coals for 1.5 hours. Aim to keep the barbecue heat low during this time.
  4. After this time, swap the position of the ribs around for even cooking and brush the ribs with a little of the BBQ sauce. Close the lid and continue cooking on low heat for another hour and a half.
  5. Glaze the ribs again on both sides, then cook for another 15 minutes. The ribs are done when they begin to break in the middle of the rack when you pick them up with your tongs.
  6. Serve with some of the extra BBQ sauce and plenty of napkins!
