Oi oi!
Welcome to the first blog post in… ahem… a while. This is a
more detailed accompaniment to my January new years resolution video ‘Cook More’
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ihit3PW9ldU) . To illustrate me “cooking more” I filmed me
making a bit of an effort with dinner… Pork ribs!
They were surprisingly easy
really, but tasted great. This recipe comes from the Hairy Bikers’ family cook
book (the Mum’s know best one) which is a lovely book that I have used plenty before.
Now, let’s get down to it.
Ingredients:
1 rack pork ribs
3 tomatoes (plum tomatoes work best)
1 finely chopped red onion
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic (roughly chopped)
1 tsp ground mustard
240 ml ketchup
2 tbsp soy sauce
55g sugar
1 tbsp cornflour, mixed with 3-4 tbsp water
Salt and pepper
Method:
Slice to separate the ribs, and put them in a pan of boiling
water for 3-5 minutes, then leave to cool.
For marinade, mix together all remaining ingredients except the
cornflour and water in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Then slowly mix in
cornflour mixture until the marinade has thickened and pour it into a
bowl/deep dish. Pop in the ribs, make sure they’re well covered in marinade and
leave for 1-2 hours.
When you’re ready to cook, transfer ribs to a double foiled
tray and cook in a preheated oven at 150° C for 1 hour. You can also barbeque them,
but remember to wrap them in foil first.
And that’s it! Finito! I also made potato and sweet potato wedges
to go with my ribs which are dead simple, as well as salad, but you can do whatever
you want to accompany them :)
I hope you like it, and let me know how you get on if you try this
yourself! Stay tuned for my pudding recipe (pear and marzipan pie) and I shalt see thou anon.
Love,
Georgia
