Ingredients
For the Marinated Ribs:
2L Pepsi
2 garlic cloves, minced
10ml (2 tsp) chilli flakes
375ml (1 1/2 cups) Food Lover’s Tomato Sauce
80ml (1/3 cup) Worcestershire sauce
60ml (1/4 cup) apple cider vinegar
Salt and pepper, to taste
1kg pork ribs
To Serve:
500g Food Lover’s Coleslaw Mix
125ml (1/2 cup) Food Lover’s Canola Mayonnaise
30ml (2 Tbsp) sesame seeds, toasted
1 large chilli, thinly sliced
Fresh coriander, to taste
Directions
For the Marinated Ribs:
In a large mixing bowl, combine all the first seven ingredients and mix well.
Place the ribs into a large baking tray and pour the mixture over the ribs, making sure the ribs are completely covered and allow to marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour or preferably overnight. The longer the ribs marinate for, the more flavour they will absorb.
Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with foil and a drizzle of olive oil.
Take the ribs out of the marinade and place onto the prepared baking tray. Set the marinade aside for later. Drizzle 15ml (1 Tbsp) of olive oil over the ribs and rub around, making sure the ribs are fully covered. Cover the ribs with foil and cook for 1 hour – 1 hour 30 minutes until just about falling off the bone.
While the ribs are cooking, pour the marinade into a large saucepan and reduce over high heat for 45 minutes – 1 hour until thick and sticky.
Once the ribs are ready, brush with the reduced marinade and place back into the oven for 10 minutes uncovered until the marinade has become slightly caramelised.
To Serve:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the coleslaw mix and canola mayonnaise and mix well.
Top the ribs with sesame seeds, chilli slices and coriander. Serve the ribs warm with the thickened marinade and coleslaw. Enjoy!
