Instructions

  • Start by setting up your BBQ for an indirect cooking session at low temperature (110°C/230°F)
  • While the BBQ is gaining temperature you rub the slabs with a mixture of equal parts mustard and sriracha and sprinkle the spices on top of them.
  • Slice the onions and spice them with 5 spice powder, fennel powder and sage.
  • Put the sliced onions on a cast iron baking tray (I recommend cast iron for the full development of flavors)
  • Place the ribs on top of the onions.
  • Put the tray in the BBQ for 1.5 hrs. Meanwhile the onions will start to caramelize.
  • After an hour and a half take a look if the onions are caramelized. If not put the plate on top of the fire until the onions are browned.
  • Put half of the caramelized onions on top of the ribs and smother them for another hour and a half.

Remove the ribs from your BBQ and serve! Have a nice meal!
