Instructions

MAKE THE BBQ SAUCE

Put all the ingredients in a small saucepan and stir together. Bring to the boil then reduce heat to a low simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened. Set aside to cool – this can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge in a sealed jar.
120 g (½ cup) ketchup, 60 ml (¼ cup) white wine, 3 tbsp bourbon, 2 tbsp soft light brown sugar, 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tsp tamarind paste, 1 tsp garlic granules, 1 tsp sea salt, ½ tsp cayenne pepper, ¼ tsp sweet smoked paprika, ¼ tsp ground black pepper

PREP THE RIBS

Dry the ribs using paper towels and place on a platter bone side up. Use a knife to get under the thin membrane that covers the bony side of the ribs and pull it off.
1 kg (2.2 lbs) ribs, 3 tbsp avocado oil
Combine all the dry rub ingredients in a bowl. Brush the ribs with oil and sprinkle the rub over both sides.
2 tbsp soft light brown sugar
Line a baking tray with a large piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with a little oil. Place the ribs on top, bone side down, and wrap them tightly in the foil.
2 tsp onion granules, 2 tsp garlic granules, 2 tsp sweet smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, ½ tsp hot paprika, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp ground black pepper, ½ tsp ground coffee

BAKE THE RIBS

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake the ribs for 2 hours.
Unwrap the foil parcel and slather the barbecue sauce over the ribs. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and set to grill (or broil). Cook for a further 5-10 minutes to get crisp edges.

REST AND SERVE

Rest the ribs for 10 minutes then slice and serve with your best sides plus some extra barbecue sauce. Finger licking good!
