Preparation

How to prepare Spicy ribs with citrus glaze

To prepare the spicy ribs, first make the glaze. Extract the juice from one lemon 1 and grate the zest 2. Then take a bowl, pour in the oil, and honey 3,

the grated lemon zest 4, mustard 5, lemon juice 6 and emulsify with a fork.

Then pour the glaze obtained into a squeezer 7 and let it rest in the refrigerator. Meanwhile, cut the potatoes into quarters 8 and thinly slice the Tropea onion 9.

Place the potatoes in a disposable aluminum container, then add the potatoes 10 and the onion 11. Finely chop the rosemary 12,

then peel the tomatoes 13, remove their seeds 14, and cut them into strips 15.

Add the tomatoes to the potato tray 16, then add the chopped rosemary 17, lemon juice 18

drizzle with oil 19, add pepper and salt 20 and mix well. Then cover the tray with a sheet of aluminum foil and place it on the grill and let cook for 25 minutes at medium-high heat 21.

Then proceed with the preparation of the ribs, drizzle them with a thin layer of citrus glaze 22, and grill them directly on the coals 23 until a crispy crust forms on the surface 24, which will take about 5 minutes. Then move the ribs to the cool side of the barbecue, add the pre-moistened hickory chips to the coals, and smoke for about 30 minutes.

Then pour a couple of tablespoons of water into an aluminum tray 25, place the ribs 26, cover with aluminum, and continue cooking indirectly for another 30 minutes. Once the desired consistency is reached, put the ribs back on the grill for a couple of minutes to dry them out. Brush again with the glaze and serve with potatoes that should have a crunchy texture 27.

Tip

If you don't have a barbecue, you can cook the ribs in the oven, achieving the same result. Set the oven temperature to 392°F and let the ribs cook for about 1 hour, or until the meat starts to detach from the bone.
We recommend placing the ribs directly on the oven rack and placing a drip tray or a baking dish with water at the bottom to collect the cooking liquids from the ribs. If you wish, you can place potatoes or other diced vegetables in the tray to cook them, letting them absorb the cooking juices from the ribs.
