How to Make Herbed Lemon Spareribs
- In a large stockpot, cover ribs with enough boiling water to submerge them completely. Cover the pot and bring to a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 45-60 minutes, or until the ribs are fork-tender.
- Carefully remove the ribs from the pot. Drain well and let them cool slightly before packing them into a large, heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together: 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 cloves garlic (minced), 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh sage leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh savory leaves, 1 tablespoon fresh marjoram leaves, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional).
- Pour the marinade over the ribs in the bag, ensuring the meat is evenly coated. Seal the bag tightly, place it in a large bowl (in case of leaks), and marinate in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- Remove the ribs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature. Reserve the remaining marinade.
- Preheat your grill to high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates. Grill the ribs for approximately 10 minutes per side, or until the meat is easily pulling away from the bone, basting occasionally with the reserved marinade.
- After grilling, season the ribs generously with salt to taste.
- Cut the ribs into serving portions of 3-4 ribs each.
- Garnish: Cut 1 lemon into wedges.
- Garnish each serving of ribs with lemon wedges, a sprinkle of lemon zest, and a sprig of fresh thyme (optional).
