Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lay a 2-foot-long piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet, and set it aside.

2. In a blender, combine the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Pour the sauce over the meat, turning to coat it completely, ending meat side up.

3. Cut the rib rack in half; season it generously with salt and 3 tablespoons of the blackening spice and place the ribs on a grill or grill pan to char the spice. Once blackened move the ribs to the prepared baking sheet meat side down.

4. Place another piece of foil on top, and fold up the edges of the foil to make a tightly sealed package and place in the oven. Bake until ribs are tender about 60-90 minutes.

5. Mix all the ingredients for the slaw, season with salt and set aside

6. Remove the ribs from the oven and spoon any remaining saucy liquid over the top of the ribs and place back in the oven to continue to bake and glaze the ribs, about 5 minutes. Remove and place on a cutting board.

7. Slicing in between the bones, cut the ribs into 4 portions and serve with slaw.

Tips:
Personalize your blackening spice mixture by grinding it yourself.
