WE WANT RIBS

I used to chicken out on cooking ribs. I was always afraid that it would turn out tough or dry, but not anymore! turns out, they're easy to prepare and the yummy smells filled the house..

 

Marinade them overnight with whatever you like really..I wanted mine asian style so i went with soy sauce, sesame oil, honey and chopped garlic and ginger. Then bake them in a 180 celcius fan-forced oven for about an hour and a half (depending on the weight) until they're well done. I had 2.5 kilos of ribs so you do the math=)

 The porky flavours were strong so you need something "clean" tasting to balance it all up=) I feel, that there's nothing better than a simple salad. This is my FAVOURITE salad ever: rocket, pear and green apple salad. Its sweet, tangy and I just love it..

salad:
green apple,quartered and sliced thinly

pear,quartered and sliced thinly
rocket leaves
walnuts
dried cranberries
lemon juice
extra virgin olive oil
salt

mix the apple and pear slices with a squeeze of lemon juice, a glug of olive oil and salt to prevent them from discolouring.
Place the rocket, walnuts and dried cranberries in a large salad bowl and set aside.
To make dressing, mix one part lemon juice to 2 parts olive oil and season with salt to taste.
Pour this over the rocket mixture. Add in apple and pear mixture. Toss well and serve.
