Ingredients

  • 4 lbs baby back pork ribs or loin ribs
Dry Rub for Pork Ribs
  • 2 tbsp fennel seeds (See Note 1)
  • 2 tbsp cumin seeds (See Note 1)
  • 1 tbsp coriander seeds (See Note 1)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp salt
  • 2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper ground
  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp oregano dried
  • 1 tbsp mustard powder dry

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Toast the fennel, coriander and cumin seeds in a sauté pan until fragrant and oils have been released. Grind in a spice grinder until in powder form. Feel free to use ground spices if you prefer, but use a 1/2 tsp LESS of each.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together the toasted/ground spices and all the remaining dry rub ingredients and rub all over ribs. Wrap the ribs back up in the butcher's paper (it has a great wax interior side to keep juices from dripping out), and seal with aluminum foil. Place in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
  3. This makes about 1.5 cups of dry rub.
  4. I use this rub on my Memphis Style Ribs and St Louis Style Ribs recipes.

Notes

  • If you are not using whole spices, use a 1/2 tsp LESS of each ground spice.
