Honey-glazed oven ribs

13 September 2008 4 Comments

Normally ribs would be Mrs Q.’s comfort zone, she makes wonderful ribs by the way. But when I saw this beautiful babyribs at my local market some weeks agon I just had to give them a try and as Mr T. (her husband) loves ribs too I made them for us for Sunday lunch with some potato wedges:

Honey glazed oven ribs

You need for the rub:

2 ts grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt and pepper
1 ts rosemary, crushed
1/2 c honey
1/2 ts crushed red chilies1
1/4 c lime juice
1/2 ts ground sage2
2 ts grated lime peel

I prepared the rub the night before (just combine all ingredients together in a bowl.) and placed the ribs together with the “rub” in a ziploc plastic bag. They marinated over night and were just perfect the other day!!
I placed them in an oven proof plate and grilled them at 250°C until they were brown and crispy outside and real juicy and mellow inside.
For the potato wedges I just washed and cut my potatoes and rubbed them with salt, paprika and a little bit Garam Masala, put them in the oven next to the ribs for about 20 minutes.

I really liked the taste of the ribs: a hint of honey, a smack of lime juice and some herby notes to jingle your taste buds…


  1. I left them out, ’cause I don’t like it too hot and had no chili on hand anyway
  2. used fresh one

    Oh, I had to call my humans over to see this photo. They really like ribs a lot! I do too (no hot chilis for me too) and sometimes if I am really good, they let me taste rib meat when they make ribs.

    Those ribs look delicious! My husband particularly loves ribs and I love the idea of the Garam Masala on the potatoes. I have only recently tried it and really liked the flavor!

    I haven’t had ribs in ages! But I love anything with sage, and the combination of sage, rosemary and ginger….very intriguing!
