Recipe's preparation

    Ribs & Rub

  1. Line a large baking tray with baking paper and place a baking rack into the tray.

  2. Place all rub ingredients into the mixing bowl and combine 5 sec/speed 5. Pour into a small bowl.

  3. Rub the spice mix onto both sides of each rib rack and place onto the baking rack, meaty side up.

     

  4. Place a sheet of baking paper over the ribs and then cover tightly with foil and refrigerate for 2½ hours (or overnight). Allow ribs to cool to room temperature (approx. 30 minutes) before cooking.

  5. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 1¼ hours. While ribs are baking prepare BBQ bourbon glaze.

    6. BBQ bourbon glaze

  6. Place onion, garlic and ginger into mixing bowl and chop 5 sec/speed 7.

  7. Add oil and sauté for 5 min/100°C/speed 1.

  8. Add all remaining ingredients and cook 30 min/100°C/speed 1.

  9. Blend 20 sec/speed 1—9, slowly increasing speed from speed 1 to speed 9. Set aside in a bowl to cool.

    10. Ribs & Rub resumed

  10. After 1¼ hours, remove ribs from the oven and brush with a thick coating of the bourbon glaze. Re-cover with foil and then cook for a further 15 minutes until glaze has caramelised.

  11. Remove ribs from oven, brush again with the glaze and cut into individual ribs (they are easier to eat this way).

  12. Return to a low heat on a BBQ hotplate or under a low grill, occasionally basting with the glaze until ribs are slightly charred. If using the BBQ—line your plate with a little baking paper to prevent a gooey mess, it works better than foil and doesn’t tear. Do not use baking paper under the grill however as it will burn.
