Tuscan Style Ribs (Rosticciana)

These Tuscan style ribs, or Rosticciana, are grilled relatively quickly to a beautiful rusty red, and drizzled with a bright citronette, a lemon-garlic dressing. They are pleasurably chewy and intensely delicious, proving that low and slow is not the only way to go when cooking ribs.
