These dolmas are made with what may seem like a strange combination of spices, but this is a wonderful, delicate traditional Turkish dish with a twist. They are traditionally served chilled, but you can serve them warm if desired. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over them before serving.

Oven-Baked Barbecue Rib Tips

Oven-Baked Barbecue Rib Tips

Rib tips are the parts of the rib that are cut away to make St. Louis ribs. Some butchers call this the pork brisket. This cut has a lot of cartilage, but a low, slow cook softens the cartilage and makes it tasty. I like to cut them into small pieces. These meaty bits are a little easier to manage than ribs, and their meaty, chewy texture makes a great appetizer or main dish. Serve with additional barbecue sauce, if desired.
