Sticky Tamarind & Chilli Spare Ribs

When it comes to alfresco dining, what could be more of a crowd-pleaser than a plate of sticky spare ribs? Our recipe has coke (yes, the brown fizzy stuff), but the secret ingredients are our Premium Tamarind Chutney and Spicy Tomato & Chilli Sauce for a sweet, tangy, spicy flavour.

How we enjoy ours

You’ll get plenty of flavours simply by cooking these on the day, but if you really want the flavours to permeate into the meat, we suggest leaving them to marinate overnight in a covered bowl in the fridge.

Serve with wraps or pitta (to help keep hands clean) and homemade slaw.
