Marinated pork spare ribs

Napkins at the ready! These tender slow-cooked pork spare ribs are super easy to prepare – just mix the marinade, coat the ribs and bake. Don’t worry about the knives and forks, fingers are definitely allowed for these totally munchable ribs! How to make marinated pork ribs: key tips I like to chop some of the excess fat from my pork spare ribs, just because I don’t like chomping on it. You do need some fat for flavour, though, so how much you decide to cut off is up to you. You can cook these ribs straightaway after coating in the marinade, or you can leave them to marinade in the fridge for 4-24 hours (any longer and they can become tough) to really secure the flavour. Feel free to brush your ribs with the marinade in the dish a few times while they’re cooking, as it will thicken that delicious coating. Your ribs are ready when the meat is very tender and well-coated in the sweet sticky marinade. Key ingredients in this marinated pork ribs recipe You can buy pork spare ribs at the supermarket and they are quite affordable. Choose packets of ribs that have the most meat on the bones, so you get more bang for your buck. The combination of the 3 sauces (tomato, barbecue and Worcestershire) as well as the honey in the marinade provide sweetness, spice and tang to the pork spare ribs. Worcestershire sauce also adds a welcome saltiness and savouriness. Here are some more tips on cooking ribs. You’ll also love these American-style pork ribs!
