Method

1. Marinade: Place all the marinade ingredients in a casserole pan or large saucepan and put it over a high heat. Stir the marinade regularly so that the ingredients are well distributed, bring it to a strong simmer then reduce the heat to a simmer and leave it to cook for 15 minutes. Remove the marinade from the heat and allow it to cool.
2. Place the ribs in a container with the cooled marinade, cover the container and place them in the refrigerator to marinate overnight or for at least 6 hours.
3. To Cook: Preheat an oven to 180°C. Place the ribs with the marinade in an oven tray and place them on the centre shelf of the preheated oven. Leave the ribs to cook for 1 hour, turning them regularly so that all sides cook evenly.
4. Preheat the grill to high and place the ribs under the grill for 1-2 minutes to crisp up the marinade. Serve.
5. To Serve: Place the ribs on a bed of spiced bean rice or boiled rice with a little of the sauce. Serve the ribs with a bowl of water with lemon for washing sticky hands and plenty of napkins.
