Supersized tender pork ribs with sweet potato fries

By Abigail Donnelly
4
Easy
10 minutes
2 hours

Ingredients

  • 4 racks pork ribs (approx. 300 g each)
  • 200 g Muscovado sugar
  • 1 T smoked paprika
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 T onion powder
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 cup water
  • For the sweet potato fries:

  • sunflower oil, for deep-frying
  • 3 Woolworths Kara orange sweet potatoes, very thinly sliced
  • salt, to taste

Method

Place the ribs into a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1 hour or until the meat is soft when pierced with a sharp knife.

Drain and allow to cool and drain on a cooling rack. Preheat the oven to 200°C.

Place the remaining ingredients into a large pan and simmer for 20 minutes, or until thick. Place the ribs on a baking tray and baste well with the mixture. Roast for 30 minutes, basting often.

To make the sweet potato fries, heat the oil in a pan and fry the chips in batches. Drain on kitchen paper and season with salt.

Serve with the ribs.

Cook's note: Make double the quantity of ribs and remove the meat from the extra racks to freeze for use on burger Fridays.
