Slow cooker ribs

• servings: 4
• active time: 10 M
• total time: 9 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients

1½ kg meaty pork ribs

1 bottle barbecue sauce (350g approx)

2 pork stock cubes

2 bay leaves

1 tsp coriander seed

1 tsp mustard seed

1 tsp peppercorn

Directions

1. Put 4 tbsp of barbecue sauce along with the rest of the ingredients into your slow cooker. Top up with enough water to cover (roughly 1.5l). Slow cook on Low for 8 - 9 hours until very tender but not completely falling off the bone.

2. Heat the oven to 220C/ 200C fan/ gas mark 7. Remove the ribs from the slow cooker using a slotted spoon or tongs. Handle them carefully as the meat will be very tender and may start to fall off. Baste with the remaining barbecue sauce and lay on a foil-lined oven tray. Cook for 20 – 30 mins until starting to crisp on outside. Alternatively, cook on the barbecue, turning from time to time until piping hot throughout.
