Father's Day 2025: Surprise your dad with this cajun-flavoured pork ribs recipe
When it's time to think about a special Father's Day meal, my mind immediately goes to ribs. My late father, Peter Workman, loved ribs more than anyone I've ever known. If given a choice between a Michelin-starred restaurant and a pile of sticky, saucy ribs, the man would have picked ribs every time. This was one of the recipes I developed for my rib-aficionado dad. I am a fan of St. Louis-style spareribs, which are simply trimmed spareribs, with nice meatiness and fat marbling. Marinated overnight with a Cajun rub, the spareribs are first baked in the oven, cooked fairly low and fairly slow until they are basically cooked through. Then you baste them with a super flavorful barbecue sauce, and you have the option of finishing them in the oven or moving outdoors and finishing them on the grill.

If you prefer to finish them on the grill, you can make them ahead up to the point of grilling, which is nice for a party or if you want to get a head start on dinner. Keep them in the fridge until you are ready to complete the final cooking stage, and bring to room temperature before continuing. Before the ribs are finished with the first stage of baking (or when you are nearing the dinner hour), preheat a gas grill to low, or prepare a charcoal grill for indirect grilling. The hardest part of all is waiting for a few minutes after the ribs are done cooking before slicing them. I suggest serving the ribs with Cajun dirty rice, coleslaw and, if you're going for the whole Southern meal situation, maybe some homemade mac and cheese. A pie for dessert would be the ultimate celebration. Also read | Not able to perfect your steak? Here's all you need to know Serves 8 2 (3-pound) racks St. Louis-style pork spareribs 2 tablespoons paprika 4 teaspoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon dried thyme 1 tablespoon garlic powder 1 tablespoon onion powder 2 teaspoons black pepper 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 3 cloves garlic, minced 3 scallions, trimmed and chopped, white and green parts 1 cup ketchup 1/4 cup molasses 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter 1/2 cup cider vinegar 1/4 cup Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon Tabasco or other hot sauce 1/2 teaspoon coarse or kosher salt Remove the membranes from the bone side of all the racks of ribs, using a sharp knife to peel the membrane off. In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Rub the seasoning all over the ribs. Place the ribs in a container or a bowl, loosely covered, and refrigerate for four to 24 hours. Before you're ready to cook the ribs, make the basting sauce. In a medium saucepan, combine the garlic, scallions, ketchup, molasses, butter, vinegar, mustard or hot sauce and stir over medium heat until the butter is melted. Let simmer for another 15 minutes or so, stirring occasionally. You can make this ahead of time, store in the fridge for up to a week and reheat. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place the ribs bone side down in the pans and pour 1 cup of water into each pan. Cover the pans with foil and bake until the meat is tender and starts to pull away from the bones, about two hours. Remove the pans from the oven and drain off any remaining water. Baste the ribs on all sides with the sauce. Bake uncovered for another 1/2 hour in the oven, bone side down, basting occasionally until the glaze is caramelized and sticky.

Watch carefully that the sauce doesn't start to burn, adjusting the heat as needed. Let the rib racks sit for 10 minutes before cutting them into individual ribs and serving.

Father's Day 2025: 5 simple recipes to surprise your dad with
Image credits: Getty Images While a father never leaves even one day to make his child feel loved and cared for, children miss the mark sometimes. With all the working, studying and other growing up things to do, you end up ignoring a call, ditching a dinner and so on. Thus, days that are especially dedicated to the people who gave you the life you have and filled it with their love and support must be celebrated grandly. With Father's Day coming up on June 15th, what better way to surprise your dad than by cooking him a delicious dish that makes his heart and taste buds happy? Below are 5 easy recipes that you can cook up for your father this Father's Day. BBQ ribs Image credits: Getty Images Take some St. Louis-style pork spareribs and marinate them overnight with spices such as paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper and some salt. Next morning, bake them in the oven slowly and then baste them with a flavoured barbecue sauce made with some minced garlic, ketchup, unsalted butter, mustard, tabasco sauce and salt cooked together. Now, you can either bake them in the oven again or put them on the grill. Frozen Grahamwiches Image credits: Getty Images If your dad loves desserts more, then these easy-to-make frozen sandwiches will be his favourite. Take some Graham crackers, peanut butter and whipped cream. Spread 1 teaspoon of peanut butter on each graham cracker square followed by 1 tablespoon of whipped cream, make them into a sandwich and freeze for at least 1 hour before serving. Cheddar cheeseburger sliders Image credits: Getty Images All you need are buns, beef/shredded chicken, cheese and some sauces. Firstly, brown the ground beef or cook the chicken, layer the buns with cheese, beef, and any sauces of your choice and bake until warm. Serve with burger toppings your dad loves and voila! You have a dish. Picadillo Tacos Image credits: Getty Images You need some taco shells, cheddar cheese, ground beef and pork, chicken stock, lettuce, jalapeno, potato, tomatoes, carrots, chilli powder, cumin powder, oregano and salt and pepper. Blend the tomatoes and chicken stock in a puree, and in a large pan add the ground beef and pork. Once they have browned add the chopped vegetables and saute for 10 minutes. Now add in all the spices and the puree and cook for 10-15 minutes. To plate, add the boof and pork mix, and cheddar cheese and serve with any of your dad's favourite sauces. For a vegetarian option, replace the beef and pork with tofu or paneer. Chocolate brownie pudding Image credits: Getty Images The ingredients list includes, white sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, flour, vanilla ice cream, large eggs and unsalted butter. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and lightly butter a skillet. Melt the butter and let it cool. Sift the cocoa powder and flour together and set aside. In a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar on medium-high speed for 5-10 minutes until thick and light yellow. Now add the vanilla extract, flour and cocoa powder mixture. Mix them slowly and pour the cooled butter to mix until combined. Pour the mixture into the skillet and place it in a larger baking pan halfway filled with water up to the side of the dish. Put it in the oven for around 60 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream. One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
