-
Whizz all of the dry brine
ingredients, except the bay leaves, in a food processor.
Pour over the ribs, tear over the bay leaves and rub in.
Cover and chill for at least 2 hours, but preferably
overnight.
-
Heat the oven to 160C/fan
140C/gas 3. Lightly rinse the dry brine from the ribs and
put in a roasting tin. Whizz all of the sauce ingredients,
except the star anise, in a food processor.
-
Add to the roasting tin with
the star anise and cover tightly with a double layer of
foil. Cook in the oven for 2½ hours, basting regularly,
then remove the foil and cook for a further 30 minutes to
reduce the sauce.
-
At this stage you could,
once cool, put portions of the ribs into freezer bags,
along with the sauce and freeze. To defrost, leave in the
fridge overnight.
-
To finish the ribs, heat a
grill or barbecue to high and put the ribs on a baking
sheet or directly onto the barbecue. Grill for 5-10
minutes, regularly basting with the sauce until
caramelised.

Serve with more sauce and
