Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Cook the ribs

Heat the oven to 400ºF. Line a sheet pan [2 sheet pans] with foil.

Cut each rack of baby back ribs into two even pieces.

Place the ribs on a large sheet [2 large sheets] of foil and sprinkle with 2 to 3 tablespoons [4 to 6 TBL] water. Bring 2 opposite sides of the foil to the center and fold them together several times to create a tight seam. Fold up each end to form a tight seal.

Place the foil packet[s] on the lined sheet pan[s], sealed side up, and cook for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and carefully unwrap the foil. Spread the smoky barbecue sauce over the ribs, return to the oven, and cook with the foil unwrapped until the ribs are heated through and glazed with the barbecue sauce, about 5 minutes; a metal knife inserted into the center for 30 seconds should come out hot to the touch, or an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register 165ºF. Remove the ribs from the oven and let cool slightly.

While the ribs are cooking, plump the cherries and prepare the coleslaw.

Plump the cherries

In a small bowl, cover the dried cherries with hot tap water and soak until plumped, 4 to 5 minutes, then drain.

Make the coleslaw

Roughly chop the drained cherries.
Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, keeping the white and green parts separate.
Coarsely chop the pecans.

In a large bowl, toss the coleslaw mix, pecans, chopped cherries, and white parts of the scallions with the coleslaw dressing. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the ribs and coleslaw to individual plates. Garnish the coleslaw with the green parts of the scallions and serve.

Grill It

Prepare a medium-hot fire on one side of a grill. Place the foil-wrapped rib packet[s] on the grill directly over the heat and cook for 5 to 7 minutes. Flip the packet[s], transfer to indirect heat, close the grill, and cook without turning until heated through, 4 to 5 minutes longer. Remove from the grill. Open the packet[s], being careful of any venting steam, and brush the ribs with the smoky barbecue sauce.
