Grilled Baby Back Ribs
People don't associate French cooking with grilling. But if you go to any neighborhood festival in the summer, out in the countryside, there's invariably a grill covered with sausages, including merguez, lined up and sizzling away, as well as a broche with something turning on the spit, being lapped with flames, roasting to perfection.
Another thing that people don't know, including me, was that you can cook baby back ribs in less than 30 minutes, ending up with tender ribs using a grill pan - no fire needed! That's an especially good thing if you're a city dweller and don't have access to a grill, or it's forbidden, as it is in Paris for safety reasons, which is understandable; the city has been through a number of rebuilds and doesn't need another one.
The word barbecue in English comes from la barbe à la queue , or, from the beard to the tail, and what you see at those countryside festivals is often a whole beast roasting away, while people hover around, drinking wine, waiting until it's ready.
