Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Drizzle the olive oil over the ribs, season with salt and pepper and rub well to coat.
  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a small pot and place on the stove over a medium heat. Heat the marinade until the sugar has dissolved, then simmer gently for 10-15 minutes until the marinade has thickened.
  • Place the ribs in a large roasting dish and brush with the marinade, then cover the dish with tin foil. Place the dish into the hot oven for 1½ hours, or until the meat pulls away from the bone easily. Baste the ribs with the marinade every 30 minutes when in the oven.
  • Cook the ribs uncovered, for the final 15 minutes of the cook, basting halfway through.
  • Once cooked, transfer the ribs onto a chopping board and divide them up. Serve with fresh salad.
