The Project: Naked ribs, dude food and more for the Memorial Day weekend

This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.

Each Friday, we post a recipe from the L.A. Times’ Test Kitchen that’s perfect for weekend cooking. This week’s pick will help you usher in summer: naked ribs. This recipe is an all-time favorite with readers and made our Top Test list in 2008. (And I swear I am not just saying that because the recipe was crafted by Times Food editor Russ Parsons for his California Cook column on the joys of grilling.)

In fact, I get so many requests for this recipe that I keep the link handy in my files for the guys -- and it’s almost always a guy -- who writes to ask ‘You ran a rib recipe awhile back and I can’t find my copy ... .’

It’s Dude Food, people!

But we’ve got much more as we prepare to usher in the unofficial start of summer with this Memorial Day weekend: Here are 37 other recipes from the L.A. Times Test Kitchen for chillin’ and grillin’ this holiday weekend and beyond. Enjoy.

As always, if you try this or any other recipe from the L.A. Times Test Kitchen, we want to see the finished dish so that we can showcase it on our blog and occassionally in print. You can upload your photos to this gallery.
