Foxley’s Restaurant on Ossington in Toronto is one of our favorite neighborhood restaurant. We love their ribs and this inspired me to create this recipe. This is a two step recipe. You make the glaze first (you can do this a day a head of time). Then you roast the ribs.
Cover the ribs with half the sauce and roast them “meat side” down for 3 hours at about 275 – 300 degree. Check the ribs occasionally and baste with the sauce. Remove the ribs from the oven and increase the heat to 375F. Turn the ribs “meaty side” up and brush generously with the rest of the glaze. Return the ribs to the oven and roast for about 15 minutes until the ribs have a rich, glistening glaze.
Cut them into 2-3 rib portions. Sprinkle with finely chopped green onions. Serve with finger bowls and plenty of napkins. Bon appetit dear friends.
