sticky ribs

Perfect for the barbecue, or a fabulous finger dinner cooked in the kitchen. Succulent and meaty ribs, soaked in a spicy marinade of onions, garlic, tomato, honey and TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce.

Serves: 4

900g/2lbs pork ribs
salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled and finely chopped
3 tbsp tomato puree
2 tbsp honey
1 level tbsp soft brown sugar
1-2 tbsp TABASCO® Brand Pepper Sauce (2 is wonderful)
4 tbsp water

Method:

1. Trim ribs to neaten. Place in an ovenproof roasting dish and season.

2. Heat oil in a pan and gently fry onion and garlic over gentle heat until soft, but not brown. Spoon over ribs. Mix tomato puree, honey, brown sugar, TABASCO® Sauce and water together in a jug and pour over ribs. Leave for 10 minutes, turning. Place in a pre-heated oven Gas 4, 350F, 180C for 40 minutes, turning ribs over and basting. Turn heat up to Gas 6, 400F, 200C and roast for a further 15 minutes - or until ribs are caramelised and crusty. Serve in a bowl with napkins and a finger bowl.
