• Plum and ginger sticky ribs might sound a little unusual, but these are just as delicious as your standard BBQ ribs. The unique flavours give a special kick to the meat, which becomes succulent, salty and sweet.

    Plum and ginger sticky ribs

    Serves: 2
    Cooking Time: 20 mins + marinating time

    Ingredients

    • 15ml (1 tbsp) fresh ginger, finely grated
    • 10ml (2 tsp) garlic, finely chopped
    • 1,25ml (¼ tsp) green chilli, finely chopped
    • 80ml (? cup) plum sauce
    • 45ml (3 tbsp) tomato sauce
    • 20ml (4 tsp) soy sauce
    • 20ml (4 tsp) honey
    • 500 – 600g ribs
    • salt, to taste
    • Parmesan and herb mashed potatoes, to serve
    • fresh rocket salad, to serve

    Instructions

    1

    Combine all of the ingredients and pour over the ribs. Cover and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

    2

    Preheat the oven to 230°C and turn on the grill setting. Line a baking tray with foil and lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    3

    Place the ribs on the foil and brush any remaining sauce from the bowl onto the ribs. Grill the ribs until tender and sticky, about 15 – 20 minutes. Season lightly with salt and serve with the Parmesan and herb mashed potatoes and the rocket salad.

    Notes

    To drink: With the spicy flavour of ginger try an equally aromatic wine, like an off-dry fragrant Gewürztraminer or a delicate, floral Riesling.
