ingredients
For the ribs:
- 1 pound pork ribs (baby back or spare ribs)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Fresh herbs (such as thyme or basil), for garnish
Method
Step 1
Roast the tomatoes: Preheat oven to 400°F. On a baking sheet, add Red Gold Whole Tomatoes, garlic, and optionally, a quartered onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast for 25–30 minutes until softened and slightly charred.
Step 2
Make the tomato glaze: Let the vegetables cool slightly, then transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce (if using), smoked paprika, oregano (if using), and additional seasoning. Blend until smooth and taste to adjust seasoning.
Step 3
Marinate the ribs: Pat ribs dry and season with salt and pepper. Rub with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, olive oil, and cayenne (if using). Place ribs in a large zip-top bag or baking dish. Pour the tomato glaze over, coat thoroughly, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight.
Step 4
Cook the ribs: Preheat oven to 350°F. Transfer ribs to a baking dish and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 2 hours, removing foil during the last 30 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and the ribs to brown.
Step 5
Serve: Let the ribs rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh thyme or basil and serve with your favorite sides—cornbread, coleslaw, or grilled veggies all work great!
