Easy pork spare ribs

Easy pork spare ribs

 I didn't want to fuss around too much with this meal.  So I simply marinated some pork spare ribs in some homemade spicy pizza sauce I had left over together with some maple syrup and salt and pepper.

You need to leave it sitting on the bench in the marinade for at least 30 minutes – or put it in the fridge for a few hours.

I put the ribs into a roasting pan and cooked them in a moderate oven for 40 minutes – covered in foil.  Then I took the foil off and fan baked the ribs for half and hour.  I served the ribs with a garnish of chives.  I was very pleasantly surprised at the flavour given it was such a simple marinade.

To continue the simple theme I served the ribs with a simple plate of sliced avocado (with lemon juice squeezed over it) and a little tomato salad.

The ingredients for the salad – all in a small dice were:

Tomato

½ red chilli

2-3 slices of onion

¼ capsicum (bell pepper)

¼ zucchini (raw)

Spring onion (scallion)

3 slices of gherkins

Chives

The dressing was just a mixture of plum vinegar, extra virgin olive oil and salt and pepper.  Easy.
