WEEKEND TREATS

 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

Slow cooker ribs

Preparation and cooking time

• Prep:10 mins
• Cook:8 hrs - 9 hrs and 30 mins
• Easy
• Serves 4

Slow cooking is the perfect way to get tender melt-in-the-mouth pork ribs, simply throw everything in the slow cooker, then finish off in the oven or bbq

Ingredients

• 1 ½kg meaty pork ribs
• 1 bottle barbecue sauce (350g approx)
• 2 pork stock cubes
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tsp coriander seed
• 1 tsp mustard seed
• 1 tsp peppercorn

Method

STEP 1

Put 4 tbsp of barbecue sauce along with the rest of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Top up with enough water to cover (roughly 1.5l). Slow cook on Low for 8 - 9 hours until very tender but not completely falling off the bone.

STEP 2

Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 – 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
