Fall off the Bone Ribs Recipe

Ribs used to intimidate me until I discovered this recipe. It was sent to me by one of my readers from New York; Mariya who happens to be a fellow nurse.

It’s such a blessing to meet people through this blog that I would never have crossed paths with otherwise and it’s especially fun to discover the things I have in common with you all, even if it’s a favorite color; mine is purple by the way. Here are some other tidbits about me:

1. Favorite Movie: It’s a tie between Pride and Prejudice and Count of Monte Cristo

2. I’ve never had a speeding ticket

3. I sometimes use my blinker when I turn into my driveway.

4. I alphabetize signs in my head (even entire sentences); my useless talent, but if there ever was a game show, I’d win.

Now that you know way more information about me than you ever wanted to know; back to the ribs. I love that these ribs always turn out great  and you can use whichever ribs you love best. These ribs were perfect right out of the oven, and just fell off the bone. We used leftovers to create some very tasty sandwiches. Mariya, thank you so much for sharing your recipe!

Ingredients for the Ribs:

4 lbs Country Style Ribs (what you see photographed here), Baby Back Ribs or Pork Spare Ribs
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium head of garlic; press all of the cloves through a garlic press
1 cup real mayo
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
2 bay leaves
Mrs Dash, or Vegeta, or Italian Seasoning, or whatever seasoning you prefer
3/4 of a 16 oz bottle of your favorite BBQ sauce (I like Sweet Baby Rays; Mariya likes KRAFT’s Original BBQ)

How to Make Fall off the Bone Ribs:

1. Preheat the Oven to 350˚F. In a large mixing bowl, make your marinade by combining your sliced onion, pressed garlic, 1 cup mayo, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper,  1 tsp Mrs. Dash or your favorite seasoning and 2 bay leaves.

2. Mix the meat into your marinade, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1/2 hour or overnight if time permits.

3. Place your ribs in your largest glass baking dish, cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 °F for 2 hours.

4. Remove from the oven, drain off and discard extra fat that has accumulated at the bottom of the dish and spread the top and bottom of the ribs with BBQ sauce, recover with foil put back into the oven for 15 minutes, remove foil and bake an additional 15-25 minutes if the ribs still look too juicy; which happens with the big country-style ribs.
