Fall-off-the-bone tender ribs with a sticky BBQ glaze. These taste like they’ve been smoked for hours.

Ingredients

  • 1 rack pork ribs (about 1kg)
  • 150ml BBQ sauce
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper
  • 100ml water

Method

  1. Mix the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Rub all over the ribs.
  2. Place the ribs in the slow cooker (you may need to cut the rack in half to fit).
  3. Pour the water around the base.
  4. Cook on Low for 6-8 hours until the meat is tender.
  5. Mix the BBQ sauce, honey, and garlic.
  6. Remove the ribs and place on a baking tray. Brush generously with the sauce.
  7. Grill for 5-10 minutes, brushing with more sauce as they cook.
  8. Serve with coleslaw and corn on the cob.

Tips

The slow cooker does the hard work making them tender, then the grill gives that sticky, caramelised finish.
