SLOW COOKED RIBS

A friend of ours loves to slow cook meat and one of his favourite recipes uses pork back ribs.  I got this recipe from him and made the ribs one night.  You can't make this recipe in half an hour as slow cooking takes time.  You can vary the spices from the ones I used but you need to allow the time for the meat to slow cook.  The ribs were delicious and I will be making this recipe again.

Mixing the basting sauce.

Back ribs sitting on a rack and cut into portions.

Sauce spread over the ribs and ready for baking.

Just out of the oven and ready to be served.

INGREDIENTS:

2 kg of pork back ribs

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/2 tsp paprika

1 tsp dried minced onion flakes or powder

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 tsp olive oil

1 to 2 tsp brown sugar

DIRECTIONS:

Mix the garlic powder, onion, paprika, Worcestershire sauce and olive oil in a small bowl.  Cut the slabs of ribs into smaller portions and place on a rack placed in a roasting type pan.  Coat the topside of the ribs with the sauce mixture.  Bake covered with tin foil for two and a half hours at 275 degrees F.  Then remove the tin foil, sprinkle the tsp of brown sugar over the meat and increase the oven temperature to 325 degrees F for another 45 minutes.  Serves 4 to 5 people.
