If time is of the essence, then one way is to boil them for about 45 minutes and then cook them for about 30 minutes. Not as good as a slow roast, but they are tender …

Marber has a good technique here, the parboiling does most of the cooking and takes off quite a bit of fat, while making for very tender ribs once finished off in the oven or on the grill. I really love this method to make rib sandwiches, as the meat wants to fall off the bone on it’s own when cooked long enough. There is nothing like a slow roast/smoking, but can’t take 18hrs to cook ribs everytime I crave a sandwich[:p]
