Barbecued spare ribs is a very simple recipe and one which all budding barbecue chefs like to "cut their teeth on".

Barbecued spare ribs

Ingredients Barbecue Sauce:

• 15 g (1/2 oz) margarine (or butter)
• 1 x 5ml spoon (1 tsp) sesame oil
• 1/2 medium onion, peeled and finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2.5 cm (1 inch) piece fresh root ginger, peeled and finely grated
• 1 x 5 ml spoon (1 tsp) ground coriander
• 5 x 15 ml spoons (5 tbsps) hoisin sauce
• 2 x 15 ml spoons (2 tbsps) soy sauce
• 2 x 15 ml spoons (2 tbsps) clear honey
• 2 x 15 ml spoons (2 tbsps) sherry

and of course you also need 450 g (l lb) pork spare ribs

Method:

Melt margarine (or butter) together with sesame oil and saute onion, garlic and ginger until soft. Stir in coriander to cook for a further 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add remaining sauce ingredients and mix well together. Add spare ribs. Allow 10-15 minutes to "marinade"

Place spare ribs on a grill pan and cook under a moderate heat for 15-20 minutes until tender, turning frequently and brushing with remaining sauce. Alternatively cook on a barbecue, again until tender and cooked through, brushing with remaining sauce. Serve hot with rice or on their own.

As with all recipes which involve cooking and baking a sensible approach must be taken especially when dealing with warm or hot (temperature) ingredients. If you are unable to take due care, please do not attempt to make any of these recipes. All recipes are tried at your own risk.
