- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups cooked brown rice

- Toss with cooked rice, cornbread crumbs, broth and cranberries. Cover and set aside.
The Crown

- Rub inside and outside of crown with pepper, wrap each rib bone with tin foil, let warm to room temperature

- Place crown on smoker, add smoking chips and cover.
- Smoke for 45 minutes.
- Remove crown from smoker. Place parchment paper under the crown. Spoon stuffing loosely into center cavity of crown.
