Slow cooking is the perfect way to get tender melt-in-the-mouth pork ribs, simply throw everything in the slow cooker, then finish off in the oven or bbq
Prep:10 mins
Serves 4
1 ½kg meaty pork ribs1 bottle barbecue sauce (350g approx)2 pork stock cubes2 bay leaves1 tsp coriander seed1 tsp mustard seed1 tsp peppercorn
STEP 1Put 4 tbsp of barbecue sauce along with the rest of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Top up with enough water to cover (roughly 1.5l). Slow cook on Low for 8 – 9 hours until very tender but not completely falling off the bone.STEP 2Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 – 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.
