This Rum and Mustard BBQ Pork Ribs recipe is part of my collaboration as brand ambassador of the National Pork Board’s “Pork Es Sabor” grilling season. Thank you for reading and supporting the brands that make Savoir Faire possible.
I can’t believe summer is almost over. Both of my kids went back to school, and I’m officially the mom of two high schoolers. Yesterday my big boy told me: “Mom, I only have one more summer before I go to college”.
OMG, I’m not ready for that! So, I’m going to make the most of these couple weeks before the summer season really ends and that only means grilling!
Grilling on rainy season
As you may know, summer in Miami is our wet season. We have rainstorms every single day.
To minimize time outdoors, I cooked my Rum and Mustard BBQ Pork Ribs, first in the oven, and then finished them on the grill. Believe me: there is no better way to do pork ribs.
This time I divided the rack into two pieces, seasoned them with a dry rub, and oven roasted sealed in an aluminum foil envelope. That’s my secret for the most tender, juiciest pork ribs. While the ribs were in the oven, I made my rum and mustard BBQ sauce, which I used abundantly to brush the pork ribs.
Forever ribs…
My kids don’t want to speak Spanish but pork wise, they are 100% Latinos. There is no discussion.
Did you know that ribs and chops are the two favorite pork cuts of Hispanics in the U.S.? They are extremely flavorful and very accessible. Besides that, when grilling pork, you don’t need to be a chef to create mouthwatering dishes like these Rum and Mustard BBQ Pork Ribs.
