BBQ pork ribs and slaw
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
800g BBQ pork ribs
1 tbsp hoisin sauce (optional)
For the slaw:
2 carrots, peeled into ribbons
¼ red cabbage, shredded
½ fennel bulb, finely sliced
½ red chilli, deseeded and finely diced
1 tbsp root ginger, grated
2 tbsp sauerkraut
2 tbsp hot lemon sauce
2 tbsp chopped coriander
Method:
To cook the pork ribs, wrap them in tin foil and bake them in the oven at 150C for 1-1.5 hours, or if you have a BBQ, use that! Remove them from the tin foil and increase the temperature of your grill to 200C. Grill for 15-20 mins, basting regularly with the remaining BBQ marinade (and hoisin sauce, if you’re using it).
To prepare the slaw, peel your carrots into ribbons and toss them in a large bowl with the shredded red cabbage, finely sliced fennel, and sauerkraut. Add in the grated root ginger, chopped red chilli and coriander.
Instead of mayonnaise, try adding hot lemon sauce to your slaw for a zingy, spiced version. Mix well and season to taste, then serve alongside your BBQ ribs.
