This is one of my favourite recipes in the book, due to my current adoration of anything containing chipotle! These are sticky and sweet and spicy and sour – a great option to cook up on a weekend and serve with cold beers.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C fan-forced.
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, then add the ribs and simmer for 30 minutes, skimming off any fat from the surface from time to time.
- Whisk together the chipotle sauce, agave nectar, lime zest and juice, chilli and a good pinch of salt in a bowl until combined.
- Place the ribs in a baking dish, cover with the sauce and roast for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 150°C fan-forced and roast for a further 1–1¼ hours, basting well every 15 minutes, or until the sauce is thick, glossy and caramelised.
- Serve hot with lime wedges to the side and coriander scattered on top.
