Can Anyone Help with Rib Recipe?

[Bella S.F.]

Greetings one and all,

I am hoping that someone will be able to help me locate a recipe I can remember making a number of years ago. I believe that it was in a July Bon Appetit. It was a recipe for pork ribs that had you coat the ribs with yellow mustard (of all things) and then, I believe, you used a rub. After that my memory is is not doing me any good. I have looked through all of the July Bon Appetits I can find. I went to Epicurious' web-site. I went to other search-based sites. I have not been able to locate the recipe anywhere. I do remember that anyone we made those ribs for said that they were the best ribs they had ever had. I would love to make them again.

I would really appreciate any help you can give me! Thanks!

Yellow mustard + rub sounds pretty standard to me. As far as I can tell the mustard is just to help the rub stick.

Good luck with your search!

Dakki,

Yeah, you are right. It is just that with this particular recipe, everything just worked so well. I'd really like to be able to try it again.

Apparently it was July 2004. Recipe is called "Ultimate Ribs." It can be found on various web pages including here and here.

Hey Nickrey,

Thank you! I was really excited to see your post. Untimate Ribs sounded so right, but my husband said that the recipe did not have you brine the ribs and there were not two rubs. No savory & no cloves. Perhaps this is all a figment of my imagination! Nah, it really did exist. Any other ideas?
