You can't go wrong with a classic. With a good-quality barbecue sauce, you can whip up these ribs without long marinating times.
Ingredients
2 kg pork back ribs
1 1/2 cups good-quality barbeque sauce
Instructions
TRIM silverskin membrane and any excess fat off ribs. Slice each rib rack in half. Arrange ribs, meaty-side up, in a very large, wide pot. Add enough water to cover ribs. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low. SImmer, covered, turning ribs occasionally, until meat is fork-tender, about 45 min. Transfer ribs to platter. Discard liquid.
PREHEAT barbecue to medium-low. Brush ribs with sauce. Oil grill, then barbecue ribs, with lid open turning and basting often with sauce, until ribs are well-glazed and heated through, 8 to 10 min. Transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 1-rib portions and serve.

No Barbecue? To finish the ribs in the oven, arrange them, meaty-side up, in a large, shallow roasting pan. Generously baste with sauce, then bake, uncovered, in the centre of a preheated 350F oven for 30 min. Continue to brush with sauce every 10 min until ribs are glazed.
