Minimalist slow cooked pork ribs

1. 1

   Make a paste with the garlic, ginger, salt and pepper.

2. 2

   I do it the old way, with pestle and mortar.

3. 3

   Don't cut the meat into individual ribs, it would dry up during the long cooking.

4. 4

   Rub the paste on the ribs, cover them well with cling film (or better still put in a Tupper) and leave in the fridge to marinade for at least 12 hours.

5. 5

   Preheat oven at 150 C, 300 F, gas mark 2.

6. 6

   Put the meat in a large tray with the pork fat, or some other fat/oil if you don't have it.

7. 7

   Cover the tray with foil and put in the oven.

8. 8

   Take it out every 30 min or so to turn it over and bathe with some of the fat and juices from the tray.

9. 9

   After 2 hours or so test the meat when you take it out every 30 min.

10. 10

    Mine took 3 and a half hours.

11. 11

    It should be falling off the bone when you pick it up.

12. 12

    For a final touch I put it under the grill at full power for 5 min, uncovered, turning it once so both sides are nicely browned.
