Pork Ribs (cooking and sauces - merged)

I too have been lurking around for AGES and I am having a great time getting back to my o/s roots!

I have some pork ribs marinating at the moment, but I have NO IDEA HOW TO COOK THEM!

Apologies if this has already been posted. I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. I didn't want to still be cooking them at midnight though!

Thanks everyone!

When I cook ribs , after marinating in honey (if I have an), tomato sauce - chilli flakes etc - I cook in a hot oven about 200 for 20 mins then turn and taste after another 20 - 25 mins - I pick the smaller ones first as I know they will be ready yum yum and then the bigger ones after about 35 mins.

They are usually lovely

Thanks smokey thats great!

I'm trying to use up all of the stuff in the freezer/cupboards. These have been stuck at the back of the freezer for ages. I bought them at a farmer's market, but have been too scared to use them!

They are quite large so I might leave them a bit longer.

You could also fry them or grill them (grilling prob healthier) for about 10 - 15 mins each side.

I cooked ribs a few weeks ago... I put them in the oven dry for a couple of hours and then covered in barbeque sauce for another 30 mins! They were lovely and tender... I think the oven was on about 180 degrees...

here's a very easy way with ribs, they come out lovely & tender, juicy & sticky

2lb spare ribs, cut up the way you like them
6 Tablespoons dark soy sauce
6 Tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons peeled & finely chopped fresh root ginger
1 onion peeled & quartered
3 Tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry (optional)

put all ingredients in a wide pan with 1 & 3/4 pints water, bring to boil & simmer 45 minutes, turning meat every so often. then turn up heat & boil uncovered for 20 minutes or so to reduce the sauce & it becomes thick & syrupy

I friend of mine marinades hers in Dr Pepper and then coats them in a barbecue sauce. It tastes lovely.
