Recipes Grilling Ribs
Recipes for grilling ribs that call for boiling the ribs first allow the ribs to be almost entirely cooked during the parboiling process before you actually place the ribs on the grill. This can help to greatly reducing the amount of time involved in the grilling process. Once the ribs are placed on the grill they are then basted with your favorite barbecue sauce and the sauce is allowed to caramelize, giving the ribs that wonderful crust on the outside.
There are also recipes for grilling ribs that do not call for boiling the ribs first. These recipes for grilling ribs will take longer to prepare, so you should make sure that you have plenty of time available to grill the ribs.
When selecting a rib recipe you will need to choose from among recipes for grilling ribs that are based on either a wet rub or a dry rub. What is the difference between wet rubs and dry rubs?
Any type of rub is a mixture of herbs or spices that are applied to the meat prior to cooking. A dry rub is just what it sounds like, a dry mixture of herbs and spices. A dry mixture can become a wet rub when liquids are applied to the mixture. A wet rub is similar to a paste. Rubs are an excellent way to add taste and flavor to meat due the way they tend to stick to the meat during the grilling process.
There are many different recipes for grilling ribs that are based on rubs. You will find that many such recipes contain either chili powder or paprika. The reason for this is to typically add color to the rub as well as to the cooked meat. Of course, you can also experiment with a variety of different rubs, even making up your own rub based on your favorite herbs and seasonings. Either way, rubs are a great way to produce ribs that are tasty and will practically fall off of the bone.
