Baby back ribs & Carolina baste

Here is a super easy recipe for some great comfort food. We’re all allowed to cheat every once and awhile, right?

Ingredients

• 50g light brown soft sugar
• 2 tbsp smoked paprika
• 2 tbsp English mustard powder
• 1 tsp celery salt
• 1 tsp garlic granules
• 4 racks baby back pork ribs (about 450g each)

For the baste

• 250ml yellow mustard
• 150ml cider vinegar
• 2 tbsp treacle
• 75g light brown soft sugar
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1-2 tbsp hot chilli sauce
• 2 tsp hot chilli powder

Method

• Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Combine the sugar, paprika, mustard powder, celery salt and garlic granules in a bowl, and rub all over the ribs.
• Place in 2 large roasting tins with racks set inside (if you don’t have racks, that’s fine). Pour 150ml water into the bottom of each tin, cover tightly with foil and roast for 3 hrs until nearly falling apart.
• If your roasting tins are on different shelves, swap them over halfway through the cooking time.
• Once cooked, remove and drain the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, to make the baste, mix all the ingredients in a saucepan and cook for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved. Set aside.
• Heat an outdoor barbecue. Whether your grill is gas or charcoal, use low heat to barbecue the ribs.
• Cook the ribs for 3-4 mins each & enjoy!
