A few 'secret' ingredients in this recipe for homemade barbecue sauce make these tender and juicy Barbecue Ribs finger lickin' good. The sauce is much better after it is cooked. It is not a dipping sauce, so don't stick your finger in and wonder if it's going to be OK .... it is!

How to Cook Barbecue Ribs

  1. Peel and finely chop the onion and the garlic cloves. Heat the duck fat (goose fat) in a saucepan and add the onion. Fry gently for about 5 minutes until softened and slightly translucent. Stir in all the other sauce ingredients, mix well and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened.
  2. Brush the ribs liberally with the barbecue sauce and place them on a hot barbecue grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat, liberally brushing with the barbecue sauce every few minutes, until they have a thick, sticky coating. Serve with thick-cut fries, or whatever else takes your fancy.


Graham GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
Everybody forgets about it but you'll be thanked for providing finger bowls and/or kitchen paper so folk can get their hands clean afterwards.

OH MY!!!! Excellent recipe!!! Absolutely awesome! It's the first time that my husband talked about ribs all day. They were so tender, juicy and the flavor was just perfect.
