BBQ Pork Ribs
/Ingredient
4 racks pork ribs
2 cups pineapple juice
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup ketchup
1 tbs smoked paprika
1 tbs cumin seeds
1 tbs fennel seeds
1 tbs sea salt
Method
In a pot combine the pineapple juice, onion, garlic, brown sugar, ketchup, smoked paprika, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and salt. Stir together, place over a medium heat and bring to the boil.
Heat an oven to 140deg C.
Lay the racks of ribs flat in a high sided oven tray. Pour over the hot liquid just until it is halfway up the side of the pork. Cover with foil and place in the oven to cook for 1.5-2hrs until the meat is tender and cooked through. Remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 200deg C.
Place the remaining sauce back on the heat, pour the cooking liquid from the pork into the pot and reduce until sauce consistency.
Place the ribs onto a rack. Paint on a thick layer of the BBQ sauce and put into the oven. Glaze every 5 minutes for 25-30 until the outside is thickly coated and slightly sticky.
Slice between the ribs and serve family-style with the remaining BBQ sauce/glaze on the side.
