Babs's BBQ Pork Ribs
Serves 4
This is a nice treat for when you just want a spicy snack, and you don’t need to have a barby as it’s done in the oven. However, if you are having a barby they can be done on the barby too!!
Note: You must line your tin or it will take forever to clean after cooking. The marinade has a high sugar content that will stick and burn. Just throw the foil away after use, leaving your tin clean and undamaged.
Ingredients
2 packs Pork ribs (or 2 racks of ribs)
142 ml tomato ketchup
3 tbsp tomato purée
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp honey
3 tbsp brown sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp lemon juice or vinegar
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp barbecue seasoning
1 tbsp oil
Method
- Cut the racks into individual ribs if they haven’t been done
- Place them in a large saucepan with enough cold water to just cover the ribs
- Boil ribs in an open pan for about 5 minutes. Scoop off any scum that rises to the top with a spoon and discard
- Pour the water off and leave to cool until the ribs are cold or nearly cold
- Mix all the marinade ingredients together with 4 tablespoons of cold water
- Coat the ribs in the marinade - this is best done by putting the ribs in a large plastic container with a lid, pouring the marinade over them and shaking the container well. If you don’t have such a container just coat them with a brush or spoon
- Leave to marinate for at least 1 hour
- Line a large baking tin with foil and place the ribs in there
- Preheat the oven at 220C (Gas Mark 7)
- Cook for about 30 mins, turning occasionally,
- Leave the ribs to stand for about 5 mins before eating
