Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  6. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Cooking
  1. Bake the covered dish in the preheated oven for 3 hours.
  2. If desired, remove the foil during the last 30 minutes of cooking and brush the ribs with barbecue sauce.
  3. Once done, remove the ribs from the oven and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley, slice, and serve with your favorite sides.

Notes

For substitutions, experiment with different spices and herbs. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days, or freeze for up to three months. Reheat at 300°F covered with foil for best results.
