Trimming Spare Ribs

[Ackman]

What do you do with the trimming on spare ribs. I cut them for St Louis cut but I keep throwing away the the balance which seems a waste to me...someone must have come up with something to do with them--it is a lot of meat

Rib tips...

Chef snacks! Also, chop em up and throw em in with the BBQ beans!

I season them just like the ribs and cook on the pit for a side snack

Also think pullin' the meat and addin' to baked beans and what ever else your imagination can come up with.:decision:

Some places charge more for rib tips

Cook them.

I don't do comps, so I just leave them on. Is that wrong?

There is no "wrong" way. If you like them, then that's really all that matters.

If I trim I cook them for the cook! :-D
They would go pretty well in a pot of sauerkraut, too.

I usually leave them on, Probably my favorite part of spare ribs.. But, the few times I did trim them, I saved for a chilli..

We grind the trimmings into sausage.

We save all our trimmings for sausage.

Made a big pot o chili yesterday with them, good stuff. Have a bunch more and want to try the sausage soon

I just leave the rib tips on, untrimmed. Nottin' wrong with that! Personally I think they're just as good or better than the ribs themselves. Cheers!!!

Great way to try out new rubs and ideas without doing it on a whole rack.

Grind up and make fatties.

Other than just eating them...Seems the consensus opinions are grinding them up or throwing them into Chili or beans. Do you cut the cartlidge out before grinding? If u use them in Chili, beans,....just eat around the cartlidge?
