Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs 900g pork ribs
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup barbecue sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Mediterranean Salad:
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cucumber diced
  • 1/2 red onion thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup olives pitted and sliced
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the Grill: Start by preheating your grill to medium heat. You want to make sure it’s hot and ready for those ribs!
  2. Season the Ribs: In a mixing bowl, season the pork ribs with smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Be generous—these flavors will be delicious!
  3. Grill the Ribs: Place the seasoned ribs on the grill and cook for about 30-40 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally to achieve even cooking.
  4. Add the Glaze: In the last 10 minutes of grilling, brush the ribs with your favorite barbecue sauce. This will create a flavorful glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the meat!
  5. Prepare the Salad: While the ribs are grilling, in a separate bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, and feta cheese.
  6. Dress the Salad: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pour this dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
  7. Serve: Once the ribs are done, let them rest for a few minutes. Then slice and serve alongside the fresh Mediterranean salad. Enjoy your delicious creation!
