I was flipping through From Scratch by Michael Ruhlman when I stumbled on his foolproof way to cook pork spare ribs. Serependity being in operation, I had some to cook that very night. I can report that the outcome was delumptious (Roald Dahl reference). The only downside was the 5 hours in the oven which is a long time and also attracted hordes of flies which had to be dealt to. (excuse the grammar)
How to do it his way:
Salt and pepper the ribs – aggressively.
Sprinkle them with a little water.
Wrap tightly in foil.
Roast in a low oven (c 135C 275F) for 5 hours
Then slather the ribs with your choice of sauce and flash fry in a very hot pan for 2-3 minutes to produce crispiness and char.
I made my own sauce which was also delumptious.
Warm a mixture of cranberry jelly, spicy mango chutney, spicy plum chutney, chilli paste, tomato paste and cherry brandy.
I'm not crazy about ribs, but this looks really yummy.
