Sticky Lamb Spare Ribs on a serving dish

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4

about 1 kilogram lamb or pork spare ribs, separated into individual ribs

2 tablespoons tomato paste

1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari

1 tablespoon pomegranate molasses (or use 1 teaspoon honey + two teaspoons balsamic vinegar)

1 tablespoon brown sugar or honey

1 tablespoon olive oil

3-centimetre piece ginger root, finely grated

1 teaspoon ground coriander

½ teaspoon chilli flakes

 

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 190°C (fan 170°C).

Place the spare ribs in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Cover with a lid and bring to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes, then drain the ribs in a colander, shaking off excess water.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a jug to make a thick paste. Arrange the ribs in a single layer on a roasting tray and brush generously on all sides with ¾ of the marinade. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the ribs and give them an extra lick of the remaining marinade. Bake for a further 10 minutes, until the meat is tender and pulls away from the bone.

Serve immediately with a side of your choice.
