Week 7 – 2021

This is another post from the series “I tried something new this week”.

This recipe takes about 7 hours on low temperature in the slow cooker but it’s very easy to prepare, it took me maximum 10 minutes. I have a slow cooker from Russell Hobs with 2 settings and I used setting 1 but I am sure that other slow cookers have similar settings, just use the lowest one for best results.

Ingredients (2 portions)

• 2 packs of pork ribs of approx 600g each (about 4-5 ribs per person)
• 300g bbq sauce
• 1 tbs Worcester sauce
• 2 cloves crushed garlic
• cayenne spice

Method

Add the ribs in the slow cooker. Prepare the sauce by mixing the bbq sauce, the Worcester sauce, the garlic and a bit of cayenne spice.

Add the sauce on the ribs and coat them by using a brush.

Set the slow cooker on low temperature and leave the ribs to cook for about 7 hours.

I really enjoy the ribs with just a salad and I discovered that pomegranate seeds with rocket, spinach and cucumber make a really good side for this dish!

Tips

• Next time I will add some chilly powder and a bit of sriracha in the sauce. The bbq sauce is delicious but can be a bit sweet
• Putting the ribs in the oven after you take them out from the slow cooker, for just 5 minutes, will give them a nice glaze and a bit of enjoyable crispness
