Spicy Ribs

When I’m planning a proper BBQ, pork ribs are usually the first thing on my mind. They give me time to fuss with the fire, taste sauces as I go and pretend I’m being organised …

These Calabrian chilli pork ribs are savoury, sticky and gently fiery. I barbecue them until tender, then glaze them with tomato and fennel for depth.

These jerk spiced pork ribs are warm, sticky and fragrant with allspice. I barbecue them until tender, then glaze them with honey, herbs and chilli.

These sriracha orange pork ribs are bright, sticky and gently spicy. I barbecue them until tender, then finish them with orange, sesame and honey glaze.

These tamarind chilli pork ribs are sharp, sticky and full of savoury depth. I barbecue them until tender, then glaze them with garlic and palm sugar.

These harissa yoghurt pork ribs are savoury, tangy and warmly spiced. I cook them on the barbecue with lemon and mint for a fresher rib finish.

These pineapple Scotch bonnet pork ribs are sticky, bright and fiery. I barbecue them until tender, then glaze them with pineapple, molasses and fruity chilli heat.

These chipotle coffee pork ribs are dark, smoky and richly spiced. I barbecue them slowly, then glaze them with coffee, chipotle and dark brown sugar.

These mango habanero pork ribs are bright, fruity and properly spicy. I barbecue them until tender, then coat them in a sticky glaze with lime and ginger.

These maple smoked paprika pork ribs are sweet, smoky and gently spicy. I cook them on the barbecue until tender, then finish with a glossy red chilli glaze.
