Old Red Rub Ribs

Barbecue that tastes like barbecue, not a scented candle. Smoked paprika and brown sugar bark up on pork ribs, and patience does the rest.

3 hours. Serves 4.

Ingredients

• 1.5kg pork ribs
• 4 dessertspoons Plateit Old Red BBQ Rub
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Method

1. Rub the ribs and rest 1 hour.
2. Wrap in foil and bake at 150°C for 2.5 hours.
3. Unwrap and brush with the vinegar.
4. Blast at 220°C for 15 mins until the crust sets.

Tip: Wrap first for tenderness, then finish unwrapped and hot for the bark. Both steps matter.
