Prep time 10 minutes Cook time 1 hour 15 minutes
Serves 4 people
Spare ribs are cut from a section just above the belly and are slightly meatier, but still deliciously rich. Some cooks like to blanch them first to remove some fat, but when cooked over a moderate grill, much of the fat either melts away, or mixes with the marinade to make them irresistible.
