Preparation

To prepare the glazed ribs, take the meat and massage it on both sides with the mix of spices and flavors. Wrap the meat with cling film and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least two hours, so that it takes on flavor. Then, remove the foil and cook the ribs covered with aluminum foil in a static oven preheated to 200 ° for about 2 hours (180 ° for just under two hours if you use a convection oven); the ribs will be ready when you see the meat come off the bone. While the meat is cooking, you can prepare the barbecue sauce: in a pan pour a drizzle of oil, the chopped onion and garlic. Brown it, stirring with a wooden spoon, then add the brown sugar, the sweet and strong paprika, pepper; stir to mix the ingredients and also add the Worcestershire Sauce.

Stir again and add the white wine vinegar, a teaspoon of mustard, maple syrup, continuing to mix as you add the ingredients.

Add the ketchup, a pinch of salt and cook the sauce for a few minutes, to flavor and thicken. Then turn off the heat. When the ribs are cooked, take them out of the oven and brush the barbecue sauce on the surface11; you can then bake them for the glaze at 200 ° for 5 minutes. At the end of the glazing, take them out of the oven and serve them together with the vegetable pan!

Prepare the Vegetable Pan

While the meat rests in the refrigerator, you can prepare the vegetable pan; slice all the vegetables of the same thickness, about half a centimeter: the aubergines1, onions, American potatoes and yellow-fleshed ones. Sprinkle a pan with a drizzle of oil and distribute the vegetables vertically as if it were a “domino”, alternating the colors.

Sprinkle the vegetables with a drizzle of oil, chopped aromatic herbs, breadcrumbs, and finally the Parmesan; once ready, cook them in a static oven preheated to 180 ° for at least 1 hour, grilling them for the last five minutes of cooking (160 ° for about 50 minutes if the oven is ventilated). Serve them with the spare ribs with BBQ sauce!

Storage

It is preferable to consume freshly cooked ribs. You can keep the raw and seasoned meat in the refrigerator until ready to cook, covered with cling film. The barbecue sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container or covered with cling film. Freezing is not recommended.

Advice

For the dry rub, you can also choose smoked paprika if you can find it! While for the vegetables, if you want to make them even tastier, you can alternate the vegetables with slices of mozzarella fiordilatte which melting will create a delicious stringy effect!
