These Peruvian style sticky ribs are cooked twice resulting in the most tender, fall-off-the-bone meat. Keep the napkins handy!

INGREDIENTS
2 full baby back pork ribs

BRAISING STOCK
1 garlic clove
1 ginger head – equal to garlic 1 tsp star anise
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 dried chilli
2 lt water
100 ml soy sauce
2 Tbsp caster sugar

175 ml hoisin sauce
1 tsp honey
1 tsp toasted sesame seeds 20 ml rice vinegar
40 ml sweet chilli sauce

METHOD
1. Preheat oven to 120 °C
2. Combine the braising stock ingredients in a medium sized oven dish.
3. Add in ribs, cover with tin foil and cook for 4 hours.
4. Remove from oven, leave covered and allow to cool completely.
5. Whisk the basting glaze ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside with a pastry brush ready to baste.

TO SERVE
1. Heat up your BBQ. Take the cooled ribs and place on the
