Dry Rub Ribs!

Dry Rub Ribs

2 pounds baby back ribs

For the Rub:
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoon smoky paprika
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
25 grinds fresh black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Preheat over to 300 degrees F.
Mix the rub ingredients together well in a small bowl.

Remove the membrane from the bone side of the ribs, then rub the vegetable oil onto the ribs. Pour
the rub over the ribs and work the rub fully and evenly into the ribs. Spread the ribs out evenly on
a foil-lined baking sheet.

Bake until tender and juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. These are also good with my bbq sauce all over them!

Kalua Pig

Kalua Pig

4-5 pound pork butt
2½ tablespoons Hawaiian salt (substitute kosher salt)
2 tablespoons liquid smoke
1 banana leaf (substitute 5 or 6 whole, unpeeled bananas or just use foil)
5 or 6 ti leaves (substitute aluminum foil)

Make several shallow long cuts along the roast or poke all over with a fork. This allows the salt and liquid smoke to seep into the meat. Rub with salt and liquid smoke. Wrap the roast with banana leaf . Cut the ribs from the ti leaves and wrap over the banana leaf. also you can use foil for both banana and ti leaves, . (Ti leaves can often be bought from the local florist). Tie good with twine. Roast in a 325-350 oven for about 45 minutes per pound. When meat is done, remove coverings and shred pork. I cook my pig in those foil deep pans so i can just throw them away when done.
