It’s spring and we’re ready to bring out the deckchairs, chilled drinks and the grill for the first big barbeque. However, and that’s a big however, the weather clearly has other plans. Where is Spring?! This Winter seems to have gone on forever! Ok, plan B it is then. Let’s pretend we’re having BBQ ribs that have actually been barbequed – even if they haven’t. The idea is to bring the flavours indoors and to cook them without having to wear a winter coat and carry an umbrella. These ribs are covered in homemade BBQ sauce and can be served with a baguette or sweet potato fries – or anything you fancy really! They’re super easy to make, all you need is some patience to let the slow cooker do its thing.
Sauce:
250ml tomato passata
250ml tomato ketchup
100g dark muscovado sugar
50g black treacle
150ml red wine vinegar
1tsp smoked paprika
1/2tsp salt
1/2tsp garlic powder
1/4tsp chilli powder
1/4tsp mustard powder
Ribs:
1kg spare ribs
homemade BBQ sauce
salt & pepper
1tbsp olive oil
Put all the ingredients for the sauce into a saucepan. Bring to a boil.
Keep the sauce on a rolling boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Take off the heat and set aside.
Season the ribs with salt and pepper.
Pour the olive oil into a large pan and heat it. Add the ribs and brown them from all sides.
Put the browned ribs into the slow cooker.
Top with the sauce. Put on a high heat for 4 hours.
Serve with part of the sauce on the side.
