Do you love ribs, but hate the sickly sweet and jammy sauces to go with them? If you do, I have just the recipe for you! These ribs are savoury rather than sweet and have a complex mixture of spices.. Without being spicy!! You can always add chilli if you wish! I know I did!
INGREDIENTS
Around 1kg of Pork/Lamb/Beef Ribs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
2 Teaspoons of Smoked Paprika,Garlic Powder/Crushed, Cumin, Dried Oregano, Pimento Seeds, and *Ajwain Seeds.
Quarter Cup of Rice Wine
Vinegar to clean meat
Bicarbonate of Soda for extra tender meat-I’m not sure what it does, but it really does help to tenderize meat.. Don’t add too much though otherwise the meat may be bitter and taste like soap!
METHOD
Firstly, clean the ribs in vinegar and water,removing any extra fat with a knife. Leave to drain then lay them out in the baking dish and sprinkle on the seasonings, except the pimento and ajwain seeds. Get a dry pan and place the pimento and ajwain seeds in the pan. Toast the spices until they pop or for 2-3 minutes. Grind(coarsely grind) and sprinkle the mixture and 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda over the meat. Pour rice wine and rub seasonings into meat. Place ribs in a roasting tin and add one cup of water, covering with foil cook on 180° heat;turning after 30 minutes… You can take the foil off if the ribs are becoming tender during this period. If not,leave for 20 minutes more. Turn up the heat to 210° and spoon the broth over the meat to keep moist. Keep doing this every now and then. When the broth has reduced and the ribs have become tender, it is ready to serve. Serve with a variety of sides dishes,including coleslaw. Disfrutalo!!
*Ajwain Seeds are from the lovage plant and are used in many Indian dishes.. It tastes like thyme in raw form, but nutty when toasted.
