Pork Spare Ribs

Pork Spare Ribs

The name of this cut of ribs comes from the old German word, ribbesper, which means "pork ribs roasted on a spear".


The ribs are from the lower rib portion of the pig and are fatty which adds to the flavor. Grilling is the most common cooking method for spare ribs but they can also be oven baked.
