Minimalist slow cooked pork ribs
- 2 kg good quality pork ribs (iberian free range pork in my case)
- 4 tbsp pork fat
- 6 clove garlic
- 1 piece fresh ginger (approximately half as much as garlic)
- Make a paste with the garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.
- I do it the old way, with pestle and mortar.
- Don't cut the meat into individual ribs, it would dry up during the long cooking.
- Rub the paste on the ribs, cover them well with cling film (or better still put in a Tupper) and leave in the fridge to marinade for at least 12 hours.
- Preheat oven at 150 C, 300 F, gas mark 2.
- Put the meat in a large tray with the pork fat, or some other fat/oil if you don't have it.
- Cover the tray with foil and put in the oven.
- Take it out every 30 min or so to turn it over and bathe with some of the fat and juices from the tray.
- After 2 hours or so test the meat when you take it out every 30 min.
- Mine took 3 and a half hours.
- It should be falling off the bone when you pick it up.
- For a final touch I put it under the grill at full power for 5 min, uncovered, turning it once so both sides are nicely browned.
