Sticky balsamic pork ribs with coleslaw recipe

Light a disposable or charcoal barbecue. Put the ribs into a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Meanwhile, make a glaze for the ribs. Put the balsamic vinegar and chilli into a small pan over a high heat. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced by half and thickened slightly. Set aside to cool, then season.

Make the coleslaw. Put the mayonnaise into a large serving bowl, stir in the lemon juice and season well. Add the onion, cabbage, carrot and celery and mix well. Season, cover and set aside.

Brush the glaze over the ribs and place on the hot barbecue. Cook for 10 minutes (over an indirect medium heat if it’s a gas barbecue), turning now and then until lightly charred all over. (Alternatively, pop the ribs on a baking tray lined with foil and cook under a hot grill.) Divide the ribs between plates and serve with the coleslaw – and plenty of napkins!
