Directions

In a baking dish, place the spare ribs.
Season with salt, lemon juice and red wine.
Then prepare the sauce for the seasoning.
Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl and mix well and put aside for about 2 hours.
After this time, preheat the oven to 200°C or 400°F.
Place the spare ribs in the oven, and let them brown a little (about 30 minutes).
Remove from the oven, brush or sprinkle some of the seasoning sauce all over them and turn them over.
Bake for another 30 minutes, remove from the oven again, sprinkle or brush with the remaining sauce and cook until well browned (about 30 minutes) or until done, turning them over as needed.

Recipe Tips

•

To ensure the ribs are tender, marinate them for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, in the mixture of lemon juice, orange juice, honey, red wine, and olive oil. This allows the flavors to penetrate the meat and helps break down the tough connective tissues.

•

When applying the mustard seeds, consider lightly toasting them in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before adding them to the marinade. This enhances their flavor and adds a delightful nuttiness to the dish.

•

Avoid overcooking the ribs by checking them a few times during roasting. Use a meat thermometer to ensure they reach an internal temperature of 190°F to 203°F for perfect tenderness, but avoid cooking them past 205°F to prevent them from drying out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute the pork spare ribs with another type of meat?

Yes, you can use baby back ribs or even beef ribs if you prefer. Just note that cooking times may vary slightly depending on the type of meat and its thickness.

How should I store leftover roasted pork ribs?

Store leftover ribs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2-3 months. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing.

What can I do if the ribs are not browning properly in the oven?

If the ribs are not browning as expected, you can switch the oven to a higher temperature on the broil setting for the last few minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
