Instructions

RIBS

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the ribs and salt, cover and boil for 20 minutes.
Drain and dry the ribs.
Combine the remaining ingredients, whisk until smooth and transfer to a large Ziploc bag. Add the ribs and marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat the oven’s grill. Remove the ribs from the marinade and place on a baking tray. Brush with the remaining marinade. Grill for 12 minutes. Turn the ribs over and grill for a further 12 minutes. Season with some salt and ground black pepper.

DIP

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.

Straight Cut Chips
Preheat the oven to 200 °C. Place the chips on a baking tray and spread out evenly.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until crisp.

To Serve, slice the ribs into portions and sprinkle the spring onions, coriander and chillies on top. Serve the ribs with the Findus Straight Cut Chips and the coriander dipping on the side.

Notes

The ribs can also be cooked on the braai. After boiling and marinating the ribs, cook them over a medium hot fire for 15 minutes per side.
