Ingredients
- 2 kg American-style baby pork ribs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 red onions, finely chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp finely chopped rosemary
- 80 ml (⅓ cup) vincotto
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C. Place the ribs in a deep roasting pan and pour over enough boiling water to cover the ribs. Cover the pan tightly with foil and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the water and pat dry with paper towel. At this stage you can cool, then refrigerate the ribs until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, to make the agrodolce glaze, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, for 10 minutes or until translucent. Add the rosemary and cook for another minute, then add the vincotto, brown sugar and ketchup and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Heat a barbecue on medium. Brush the ribs all over with the agrodolce sauce then cook, turning often and basting as you turn, for 20 minutes or until golden.
