Pork ribs in a dry marinade are a true embodiment of Italian flavor infused with the aromas of spices and herbs. This recipe is rooted in the traditions of slow cooking meat, allowing the spices to penetrate every layer of juicy ribs. The blend of salt, sugar, paprika, and herbs gives the dish a rich, spicy taste with a hint of sweetness, while apple juice adds a delicate fruity tang. Grilled to perfection, the ribs develop an appetizing crust while retaining their juiciness. They are perfect for a warm family dinner or gathering with friends, especially when paired with fresh vegetables and aromatic wine. This dish pays homage to Italy's culinary art where each spice plays its important role in creating flavor harmony.
