Very Good Sticky Barbecue Ribs

This recipe was on one of the BBC web sites and I modified it, but it was a good recipe although I was surprised by the method and the ingredients.

Simmer the ribs slowly in a mixture of Coca Cola and water 50/50 for 1.5-2 hours. Drain and cover with the following marinade for at least 2 hours preferably overnight.

1 cup ketchup
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy (mix dark and light)
1/4 cup Worcester sauce
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup satay marinade
1/4 cup honey
2 tspns paprika
1 onion finely chopped
1 garlic finely chopped
a little water may be needed if its too thick.
Cook marinade until thick and nice about 5-10 minutes slow. This produces a dark liquid thick enough to brush on.

Roast the ribs at about 180 centigrade for about 30- 40 minutes, basting all the time with the sauce until at the end no sauce should be in the pan, it should all be glazing the ribs and they should look shiny and appetizing. Cut and serve. We love them with baked potato and salad but anything tastes good. They are sweetish and sticky and scrumptious
