Cooking some meat on a cold afternoon while hanging out around the pool or on a beautiful patio with your family and friends seems like a perfect way to spend the day as you prepare to cook a very special dinner. Not only is it a good way to catch up and spend some time together, it could also be a chance to show-off that new rib recipe you’ve been wanting to try. If you have not any, don’t worry. There are different quick and healthy rib recipes with only a few ingredients that you can always try. Here are some:

Ribs On The Grill

The most common way of cooking ribs is by grilling it on a flaming charcoal or wood. This is a great option especially if your family event is outdoors and you have been craving that smoked flavor rib barbecue for awhile now. The only essential ingredients you would need are of course your ribs, barbecue sauce, and salt. You could add some other ingredients like apple cider vinegar, lemons, and butter depending on your preference. According to the 3 2 1 ribs recipe, cooking the meat on a smoker, on water while wrapped in foil, and finally smoked will lock in all the flavor you add in the meat.  The few ingredients would be retained if the proper method is applied. Not only will the result be amazing but will also leave your guests wanting for more.

Slow-Cooked Ribs

Slow cookers are a great way to cook ribs because it allows the flavors to seep in without having the need to marinate the meat overnight. You simply have to season your meat with salt and pepper, add onions and garlic, cover it with water and cook on high for 4 hours. Then you should drain the excess water, add finally add the barbecue sauce. You could also add slow cooker vegetables as side dishes to your ribs. You can serve this over drinks at dinner because you do not have to worry about the calorie count! This is one of the healthiest ways to cook your ribs.

Oven-Baked 

Cooking your meat in an oven is a good way to make your ribs juicy and finger-licking. This method (that can also be found on Cookout Pal) will surely make your guests crave as the process would slowly fill your whole house with a mouth-watering aroma. You could prepare your meat by removing the skin first to make it easier for you to dig in later on. Then you have to rub the dry rub mixture, bake it for a couple of hours then add the barbecue sauce before sticking it back to the oven until the edges are crispy and charred. You will be able to get the full flavors of barbecue without putting any artificial flavors. This is both delicious and healthy for you and your family.

Ribs have been a favorite dinner special with family and friends. With the various healthy and quick methods you could cook it with, you could have your rib-fix anytime without waiting for hours and hours. Share the recipes with your family and friends so you could all share the experience of the delight of making your home-cooked ribs.
