- 3 kg pork ribs (spareribs) (about 6 racks)
- 2 onions
- 2 red bell peppers
- 200 g bacon slices
- 4 tbsp Magic Dust Rub
- 1 tbsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp sugar
- 200 ml BBQ sauce
- 5 cloves garlic
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- Prepare the spareribs by removing the silver skin on the inside with a spoon. This allows the spices to penetrate better. (about 10 minutes)
- Place the prepared ribs in a large bowl and make the rub by mixing the Magic Dust Rub with garlic granules and sugar. (about 5 minutes)
- Sprinkle the rub evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated on all sides. (about 5 minutes)
- For more flavor, ideally let the ribs marinate in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Slice the onions and red bell peppers into about 5-10 mm thick rings. (about 10 minutes)
- Peel the garlic and press it into the olive oil. Mix everything well. (about 5 minutes)
- Prepare the Dutch oven by lining the bottom with bacon slices, followed by onion and bell pepper rings as spacers. (about 5 minutes)
- Layer the ribs upright from the outside in the Dutch oven, adding onion and bell pepper rings between the layers. (about 15 minutes)
- Evenly distribute the garlic oil over the ribs and add the BBQ sauce. (about 5 minutes)
- Preheat the grill to indirect heat of about 200°C and place the Dutch oven on it. Don't forget to close the lid. (about 5 minutes)
- Let the ribs cook for about 2 ½ to 3 hours until they are tender and easily pull away from the bone. (Check after 2 ½ hours.)
- Serve the ribs hot with sides like rosemary potatoes or homemade parmesan potatoes. Enjoy! (about 5 minutes)

Keywords: Avoid overcrowding the ribs; they should lie loosely in the Dutch oven to allow heat circulation. Use a thermometer to monitor the grill temperature for perfect cooking time. Experiment with different rubs and sauces to adjust flavors to your liking.
