It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


4 pounds St. Louis ribs, skin removed from the backside of the ribs
water
barbecue sauce (any variety)
Place ribs on a rack inside a baking pan. Fill pan with about 1 inch of water. Cover pan with plastic wrap, then wrap with aluminum foil (to create a steaming effect); bake at 450 degrees F for 2 hours. Remove from oven about 10 minutes before ready to serve.
Heat grill to high.
Place ribs meat-side down on the hot grill. Baste with barbecue sauce. When you notice the juice in the bone to begin to bubble, turn over and baste the other side of the ribs with barbecue sauce. Juice in the bone should begin to bubble again, then turn once more to cook briefly as the sauce caramelizes.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.

Good recipe but the plastic wrap idea doesn't work well in a 450 degree oven. It melts onto the edges of the baking pan and is a royal pain to clean off/remove.

This is the method that I've been using for years but with a twist. I steam with apple cider and few dashes of liquid smoke. After removing ribs, I degrease the liquid left in steamer and then reduce it by half. I then incorporate it into my BBQ sauce. Although stemaing doesn't cook out as much flavor as boiling, it does extract some. This method makes sure none is lost!

I didn't know that Tony Roma's still had restaurants around, I thought they had closed. I used to love their ribs so when we wanted ribs on the grill this week I looked here for a recipe and found this one. Steaming the ribs before grilling is brilliant. You aren't boiling the flavor out but they get really tender. Very good recipe, we were all impressed.
