A twister blew by Wilkinson County a couple of days in the past and knocked out {an electrical} substation. Woodville, the county seat, and my household’s house on Lake Mary misplaced energy for a number of days.
Our butchered hog lay minimize up and packaged in our fridge after we misplaced energy, and I had a harrowing thought of what that hog would scent like when it thawed out if we did not discover a approach to preserve it from unfreezing,
Kim and I loaded all of the pig meat into ice chests, iced it down, and distributed it amongst varied relations residing in Baton Rouge.
As we parceled the meat, I got here throughout the ribs, which had been packaged in 4 freezer luggage and had been nonetheless frozen. Let’s cook dinner ’em!
Underneath regular circumstances, we might have slow-smoked the ribs in our electrical smoker. Nonetheless, our smoker was in Mississippi, the place the ability was out, so we elected to cook dinner them in our kitchen oven in Baton Rouge.
Here is our extemporaneous recipe:
- First, we marinated the ribs for about an hour in Italian salad dressing. Then, we eliminated them from the marinade and utilized a dry rub of salt, black pepper, cajan pepper, and garlic powder.
- Subsequent, we ready a glaze of honey, slightly whiskey, butter, wine vinegar, and barbecue sauce.
- After we slathered the glaze on each side of the ribs, we wrapped every rack in a double layer of heavy foil, put the packaged ribs in a shallow baking pan, and popped them right into a preheated oven, taking care to put them with their fatty sides up.
- We cooked the ribs at 350 levels for 2 and a half hours. Then, we unwrapped them, utilized extra glaze, and broiled the uncovered ribs for 5 minutes to make the glaze crunchy.
We ate the ribs with Bush’s baked beans, which we supercharged with bacon and onions. The ribs paired properly with a Stella Artis beer.
Our first try at cooking feral hog ribs was successful. They tasted higher than the pork ribs I purchase on the grocery retailer.
As you may see, we cooked our hog ribs utilizing a scratch recipe. To attain an analogous consequence, you should use your favourite marinade and grocery retailer barbecue sauce.
Certainly, If you happen to’ve ever cooked store-bought ribs, you may cook dinner wild pig ribs the identical method, and they’re going to style simply nearly as good. As my associates assured me after my household butchering our first feral hog. wild pigs style scrumptious if you happen to do not attempt to eat an enormous boar.
