Ribs are a delicious meal and I will show you in this post my favorite recipes: one with barbecue sauce and a Czech version with honey. Cooked for a long time they become really tender and simply delicious.
Recommended side dishes for ribs: obligatory horse radish paste, pickles, garlic bread or potatoes.

Direction
Barbecue sauce version
- Squeeze a lemon on the ribs, so that the spices stick better.
- Place them with the meaty part on the bottom.
- Place an aluminum foil on them with the shiny part up, wrap it really well around the tray.
- Bake them at 150 C convection oven (or 170 C for traditional oven) for 2.5- 3 hours.
- Take them out, there will be a lot of liquid, so you can discard that.
- For the barbecue sauce: simply saute your onion and garlic in the oil, add the rest of the ingredients, simmer for 20 min on low then blend them at the end.
- It is time to put on the barbecue sauce and grill them for 5 min.
- Take them out again, place them with the meaty part on top, brush them again with barbecue sauce and grill them for 5-7 extra min. For this recipe, I inspired myself from Jenny Can Cook recipe.
Honey version
- Mix the spices together.
- If you want the spices to stick better, you can pour the sauce first, then the spices.
- Place them with the meaty part on the bottom.
- Place an aluminum foil on them with the shiny part up, wrap it really well around the tray.
- Bake them at 150 C convection oven (or 170 C for traditional oven) for 2.5- 3 hours.
- Take them out and place the meaty part on top.
- There will be a lot of liquid, so you can discard that.
- Grill them for 15 minutes until they are nice and well done like in the picture.
