A far better use for Coke than cleaning old coins…
What you need:
- 2kg pork spare ribs
- 1.5L Coca-Cola
- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- Marinade
- 1 glass sherry
- 2tbsp honey
- 2tsp light soy sauce
- 1tsp grated ginger
- a few drops of sesame oil
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- juice of ½ lemon
- chilli sauce or fresh or dried chillies
1. Preheat the oven to 180º. Place the pork ribs, with the Coca-Cola, star anise and cinnamon in a large, deep, flameproof roasting dish over medium heat. Bring to the boil. Transfer dish to the oven for two hours or until pork is tender when tested with a knife. Remove pork to plate and cool slightly. Discard liquid.
2. To make the marinade, whisk ingredients together in a bowl. Place the pork spare ribs in a large ceramic dish, and pour the marinade over. Cover pork with plastic wrap, and set aside in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
3. Preheat a covered barbecue to medium heat. Cook the pork spare ribs with the cover down for 10-15 minutes, basting during cooking with the marinade it was resting in. To serve, slice the pork spare ribs and serve with coleslaw, sliced tomatoes, baked potatoes and a refreshing glass of ice cold Coke!
