Baby Back Ribs


The Rub


  • 1 T brown sugar
  • 1.5 t table salt
  • 1/2 t black pepper
  • 1/2 t cumin 
  • 1/2 t powdered garlic
  • 1/2 t coriander
  • 1 T paprika
  • There will be extra, save it for then next time.

The Marinade
  • 1/4 cup Mojo (shake the bottle first)
  • 1 T EVOO
  • 1 Bay leaf

The Directions
Take about 1.5 t of the rub and sprinkle and then rub it over the meaty side of a half rack of baby back ribs (about 2.5 lbs) then take about 1/4 of the rub and do the same thing on the boney side.

In a gallon size zip lock bag put the 1/2 rack and then add the marinade in the refrigerator over night, or the very least 2 hours.  Then take it out and let come to room temperature.  Preheat the oven to 275 degrees.  

Add the ribs with all the marinade in the zip lock to a disposable aluminum roasting pan. Cover and cook for about two and a half hours until fork tender.  Then take it out of the oven and then apply your favorite BBQ sauce and just use your judgement as to how you would like them. 

Then turn the oven up to 350 and cook for another 45 minutes.
