Classic pork back ribs

Prep 15 min | Total 1 hour 15 min

Ingredients: 

• 2 kg pork back ribs
• 1 1/2 cups good-quality barbecue rib sauce

Method:

Trim silverskin membrane and any excess fat off ribs. Slice each rib rack in half. Arrange ribs, meaty-side up, in a very large, wide pot. Add enough water to cover ribs. Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, turning ribs occasionally, until meat is fork-tender, about 45 min. Transfer ribs to a platter. Discard liquid.

Preheat barbecue to medium-low. Brush ribs with sauce. Oil grill, then barbecue ribs, with lid open, turning and basting often with sauce, until ribs are well-glazed and heated through, 8 to 10 min. Transfer to a cutting board. Slice into 1-rib portions and serve.

Baking Tip: To finish the ribs in the oven, arrange them, meaty-side up, in a large, shallow roasting pan. Generously baste with sauce, then bake, uncovered, in the centre of a preheated 350F oven for 30 min. Continue to brush with sauce every 10 min until ribs are glazed.
