Baked Honey Mustard Ribs (Serves 4)
Ingredients
Baby back ribs (2kg)
250 ml. honey
250 ml. yellow mustard
15 ml of dried thyme
5 ml. salt
Method
1. Preheat your oven to 190 C. And turn on your convection fan if you have
one.
2. Prepare the ribs. Most racks have a
tough membrane. Use a spoon handle to loosen this membrane and peel it off.
This will make the ribs much more tender. Cut the rack in half and position the
ribs so they fit tightly in a 20 to 25 cm.baking pan. Whisk together the honey,
mustard, thyme and salt and pour over the ribs, turning so they coat evenly.
Cover tightly with a large single sheet of foil.
3. Bake for 15 minutes then,
without opening the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 165 C. and continue
baking until the meat easily comes off the bone and is wildly flavourful, 2
hours or so. Serve and share
