4 Cloves of Garlic
2cm Cube of Fresh Ginger

1. Roughly chop mangoes, chillies, garlic and ginger and place in a saucepan.
2. Juice limes and add to pan along with the remaining ingredients.
3. Simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes, occasionally stirring to stop mixture from sticking.
4. Remove from heat and puree with a stick blender or whizz up in a bench top blender.
5. Pour into an airtight glass jar and refrigerate. Sauce will keep up to 3 weeks.

MEATY BBQ PORK RIBS

Posted on December 11, 2012 by Lisa Tresch | 0 Comments

Ohhhh WOW!! These things are bad ass! Don't expect any leftovers for lunch tomorrow....

INGREDIENTS
1.5 Kg Meaty Pork Ribs
2 Tbsp. Mammoth Rogan Josh Seasoning (or you could use a BBQ or Cajun dry spice mix)
4 Tbsp. (80ml) Mammoth Coconut Nectar Syrup (or Honey)
1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
1 tsp. Rock or Sea Salt
4 Cloves of Garlic (crushed)
Cayenne Pepper to taste

METHOD
1. Mix all of the dry spice, salt, garlic and ONLY 2 Tablespoons of the coconut nectar (you'll need the rest later) in a small bowl until well combined.
2. Place ribs in a bowl and pour the yummy sticky BBQish sauce over the top. Rub the marinade into the meat, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour (overnight is best).
3. Once the ribs have had plenty of time to soak up all of the yummy spices, remove from the fridge and set to the side for 10 minutes.
4. Pre-heat oven to 120° Celsius
5. Place a large sheet of foil in the bottom of a baking dish, put the ribs on the foil meaty side down and then place another piece of foil over the top making sure to seal the edges of the foil parcel together.
6. Place in oven for 2.5-3 hours, checking intermittently to re-baste and to make sure they are not drying out.
7. The meat will pull away from the bones when it’s cooked.
8. Place the ribs on a shallow tray meaty side up, pour those yummy pan juices over the top and then drizzle with the leftover coconut nectar. Put them under the grill element (broiler) until the nectar has caramelised.
9. Remove from grill and chop into sections and serve.

I served this up with Raw Cabbage and Kale Salad with Lime, Coconut and Mint Dressing

I guarantee you will ENJOY these!
