Instructions

Preparation:

  • Cut the baby ribs into pieces of 2 bones each. Cut the fresh, washed and peeled ginger crosswise into thin slices. Weigh and thaw frozen goods. Cap, peel and squeeze the garlic cloves at both ends. Rinse off the fresh celery, pluck the leaves and freeze deep. Cut the stalks into approx. 3 mm wide rolls. For the fresh lemon juice, wash one lemon, cut it in half crosswise and squeeze out the halves.

Marinate hot:

  • Mix all ingredients for the hot marinade in a 3 liter saucepan. Place the baby ribs in the marinade and add enough water to cover all the baby ribs. Bring the marinade to a simmer. Simmer with the lid on for 120 minutes, stirring and layering occasionally.

After marinating:

  • Strain the baby ribs and let them cool a little. Then remove any attached ginger slices and let them dry a little in the sieve. Retain 2 tablespoons of the marinade, freeze the rest or discard. Press the cooked ginger slices through a garlic press and use for the BBQ sauce.

The BBQ sauce:

  • Cap the garlic clove at both ends, peel and press through a garlic press. Put the ingredients for the BBQ sauce in a small saucepan and briefly bring to the boil.

To garnish:

  • To garnish, wash the peppers, remove the stem, cut open lengthways, fold open, core, lengthways into thin threads and cut them crossways into small cubes.

Browning, garnishing and serving:

  • Brush the baby ribs with the BBQ sauce thinly on one side. Place on a wire rack and grill until golden brown in the oven or on a grill. Place in serving bowls, drizzle with the rest of the BBQ sauce and serve warm as a main course.
