Barbecued Sage Spareribs
Folks love to see a huge platter of these tender barbecued ribs arrive at the table. Since the ribs are cooked ahead, they simply need to be browned and reheated on the grill. I love the easy last-minute preparation and magnificent results. Raves begin with the first bite.6 ServingsPrep: 1-3/4 hours + marinating Grill: 10 min.
