Spare Ribs  Recipe

Mediterranean Chargrilled Marinated Pork Spare Ribs

Everyone loves a good Spare Ribs Recipe. The problem is that a good
one is hard to find so we've set out to create one from scratch using ingredients readily found around the Mediterranean.
We also use a two stage cooking method which guarantees juicy, lip-smacking results every time. The combination of sweet, sour, spicy
and aromatic is just about the essence of the Med.

Pam Says....  special thanks to Meredith Smith - a US visitor who pointed us in the right direction.

We try to make these recipes as easy to follow as possible, but if you do have any problems or questions, just ask Pam - she'll be happy to help.

We've also been asked about what basics you'll need to become a well rounded cook and so Pam has put together an Amazon store featuring her own choice of Kitchen Basics USA and UK/EU

Spare Ribs Recipe - Baked  in the oven until tender and then coated in the BBQ Sauce


Method for Spare Ribs Recipe


You'll need a stick/hand whizzer to quickly blend all the sauce ingredients - here's Pam's favorite: >>>

  1. OK - place all your ribs in a large baking tray or roasting tin.
  2. Add the garlic, bay leaves, cinnamon, star anise and chillies.
  3. Then sprinkle with cumin seeds and add the wine.
  4. A little Salt and black pepper.
  5. Now seal up the tray with kitchen foil and put into the oven - preheated to 220ºc./425ºf./Gas 7 for 20 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to 180ºc./350ºf./Gas 4 and cook for a further hour.
  7. Take the ribs out of the tray and keep them warm.
  8. Then strain the rest of the cooking liquid through a seive into a pan.
  9. The garlic will be soft and gooey - you can squeeze it into the sauce through the holes you cut at the beginning.
  10. Add the Tomato, honey and balsamic and boil up.
  11. Thicken with the corn flour/cornstarch to the desired consistency.
  12. Now roll the ribs in the sauce and finish in a tray in a hot oven - or you can use the BBQ or Griddle plate - it's up to you.
