Ingredients

Spice Mix

• 1 tablespoon ground paprika
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¾ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon salt

Ribs

• 1.3 kg fresh pork ribs (smaller ribs located along the spine)
• 2 onions, sliced
• 4 cloves of garlic, sliced

Sauce

• 60 ml ketchup
• 120 ml chili sauce
• 120 ml BBQ sauce

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 135°C.

2. Mix the spices

Combine all the spices for the ribs.

3. Prepare the ribs

Remove the white membrane from the back of the ribs using a knife. It should peel off easily.
Rub the ribs thoroughly with the spice mix on all sides.

Place the ribs on a foil-lined tray and cover with sliced onion and garlic.
Cover and seal tightly with another piece of foil.

4. Bake

Bake the ribs for 2 hours.

After 2 hours, carefully open the foil and check if the ribs are tender.
If not, bake for another 20 minutes and check again.

5. Prepare the sauce

Meanwhile, mix all the sauce ingredients.

6. Finish (glazing)

Remove the ribs from the oven and discard the cooking juices, onion, and garlic.

Brush the ribs generously with the prepared BBQ sauce.
Return them to the oven or grill over medium heat for another 5–10 minutes until the sauce caramelizes.

7. Serve

Serve with a bowl of salad or a side dish of your choice.
