2nd May – Spicy pork ribs with a citrus marinade

Ingredients (serves 1-2):

  • 1 rack of pork ribs
  • 3 garlic cloves – diced
  • 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes
  • 2 teaspoons of paprika
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1 orange – zested and juiced
  • 1 lime – zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons of honey

Mix up the garlic, chilli flakes, paprika and olive oil and season well with salt and pepper.  Either spoon over or rub the mixture in to the rack of ribs. and allow to marinate for 30 minutes or so.  Heat the oven up to around 160 degrees C.  Place the pork ribs into an oven dish and cover it with foil.  Cook for 20-30 minutes and then take it out of the oven.  In a bowl, combine the zest and juice of the lime and orange and stir in the honey.  Use this as a basting sauce.  Drizzle some of it over the pork ribs before returning them to the oven.  Increase the temperature of the oven to 180 degrees.  Continue to baste the ribs every 5-10 minutes until they’re cooked to your liking, which should be around 20-40 minutes.  If you have time you can cook the ribs at a lower temperature to really increase the flavour and make the meat tender.
