go the American way

Independence, stars and stripes, fireworks and blueberry pie! That's what July 4th is all about. It's a day full of tradition that falls in the middle of the lazy days of summer. The 4th of July is America's Independence Day and i still can recall the time when i was in America, probably 2 years ago i reckon. There were music, dance, and of course lots great food! I still remember going to one of my chef's house for a classic southern american bbq and it was just amazing! BBQ ribs, corn on cob, hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and something chocolate for dessert. Today Im gonna share with you my simple recipe for a succulent bbq pork ribs the american way. Not complicated, easy to make and its finger licking good. Enjoy. 

Recipe:

1 rack                                         pork ribs

2 cups                                         ketchup

1/2 cup                                       english mustard

500gm                                        brown sugar

1/3 large                                    onion

3 tbsp                                         vinegar

2                                                lemons sliced

1 tbsp                                         tobasco sauce

3 tbsp                                         fresh ground black pepper, to taste. 

Method:

1. Put all the ingredients together in a pot except the ribs, and simmer it under medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. 
2. Heat up a hot pan/grill and oil the ribs a bit. Place meat side down on the grill/pan and broil it until its golden brown. Turn and cook the other side till brown again.
3. Now brush both sides of the ribs and cook on each side for five minutes. Be careful to watch closely on the heat as it will burn easily. 
4. Cut the ribs apart and dip each rib in the sauce. Pile the ribs high on a full sized oven pan and pour remaining sauce over it. Cover the ribs with heavy-duty aluminium foil, tucking in around the outside edge of the pan to make an airtight container. 
5. Cook in the oven for 2 hours at 175'c . 
6. Once done, remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Serve hot with sauce from the pan.
