Out of all the baked oven barbecue ribs recipes that I’ve done this bbq sauce and pork spare ribs combination has the biggest kick to it. Of course if the mustard doesn’t do it for you and you’re a bit light on the Tabasco – well give the bottle another shake!
TIP - No salt is required in this recipe because of the soy sauce
Ingredients:-
1Kg or 2.25lbs pork spare ribs
Freshly ground black pepper
For the Sauce
4 tablespoons white wine vinegar
5 tablespoons soy sauce
1 splash Tabasco sauce
2 tablespoons tomato purée
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 clove garlic crushed
1 tablespoons brown muscovado sugar
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C 375°F or gas mark 5. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onions, cook for about 3 or 4 minutes until translucent. Add the remaining ingredients (except for the ribs), bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes. Place the pork spare ribs in a roasting tin and season with the pepper, brush with a little of the barbecue sauce and slam them in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and pour off the fat, spoon over the remainder of the barbecue sauce and pop the ribs back in the oven for another hour and baste every 15 minutes.
TIP - An extra teaspoon of chilli sauce into the mix won’t do it any harm, although I can’t say the same for you!
