BBQ pork ribs

160 min · serves 4

A home oven handles this; it only needs low heat and time. The sauce goes on in the last fifteen minutes, or the sugar burns.

Ingredients

• 1200 g Rack of pork ribs
• 40 g Brown sugar
• 15 g Paprika
• 10 g Garlic powder
• 10 g Onion powder
• 12 g Salt
• 5 g Black pepper
• 150 g Tomato ketchup
• 30 ml Cider vinegar
• 40 g Honey
• 20 ml Soy sauce

Method

1. Peel the thin membrane off the back of the rack. Left on, it blocks the seasoning.
2. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper, and rub it over both sides.
3. Wrap the ribs in foil and chill at least thirty minutes, or overnight if there is time.
4. Bake at 150C for two hours, still wrapped.
5. While it cooks, simmer the ketchup, vinegar, honey and soy sauce for ten minutes until thickened.
6. Open the foil and brush the sauce over the ribs in an even coat.
7. Raise the oven to 200C and cook fifteen minutes more, until the glaze sets and shines.
8. Rest the rack ten minutes before cutting between the bones.
