Cooked pork ribs – barbecue sauce
140gm of ketchup
1tsp black treacle
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp of wholegrain mustard
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 dash of tobacco
Juice of half a lemon
1 garlic clove, minced
Season
Mix all ingredients together, warm in a pan and brush the ribs with these for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Even better on barbecue as it is National Barbecue Week.
Pork tomahawks – just a quick brine overnight and enjoy the next day on the barbecue
3l of water
200gm table salt
100ml honey
100 ml whisky
100 ml cider
1 orange zested
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp cloves
5 star anise
3 bay leaves
5 garlic cloves minced
3 sprigs of thyme
Toast all the dry spices in a pan to release the aromas
Add 1L of water along with the rest of the ingredients and bring to the boil
Stir to make sure the salt and sugar has fully dissolved then remove from the heat
Add the rest of the water and make sure the brine has fully cooled before submerging tomahawks steaks in overnight.
When ready to barbecue take out of brine and pat dry 30 minutes before.
This is a great brine for all cuts of pork too and you can leave the alcohol out and replace with apple juice if you wish.
