Remove the ribs from the pot and rub well with the dry rub mixture.
Place the ribs, fat side up in a foil lined pan and bake for 40 minutes, turning once halfway through.
Reduce the heat to 350 degrees (175 C.), pour the grease from them, reserving 2 tbsp (30 ml) and cover the ribs with hot sauce.
Wrap well in foil and bake until tender, about 45 minutes.
The Black-eyed peas:
In a medium saucepan, saute the garlic in the reserved rib drippings until lightly golden.
Add the carrot, celery, peas, bay leaf and chicken stock, bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and cook until the beans are tender, about 10 minutes.
