DRY-RUB BARBECUE SIDE RIBS

Steps:

• Preheat one side of grill on medium (or if roasting, preheat oven to 325F).
• In small pan, toast cumin and coriander seeds over medium heat until a fragrance is emitted, about 3 minutes. Grind cumin, coriander and cinnamon stick in a spice mill until fine. Combine all spices together.
• To prepare ribs, pull away membrane on underside of racks (this can be initially loosened with a fork, then pulled holding it with a paper towel if slippery.) Rub spice rub over top and under side of ribs, rubbing in well with hands.
• Place ribs on side of grill without direct heat and cover (the convection current will cook the ribs, but they will not scorch , as they are not in contact weith direct heat). Cook for 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 hours, until tender when pierced with a fork. If oven-roasting, place ribs on a foil-lined baking tray and bake for about 2 hours.
• Slice ribs and place on a platter to serve.
