Jerk seasoning
Combine all the spices and grind them down.
Ribs
Rub the ribs with Jerk seasoning or your favourite mix of spices.
Roughly chop the vegetables and fry them in a pan until dark brown in colour. Place in a deep roasting tray and pour over the stock.
Oil the rubbed ribs and fry on both sides in a hot pan but be careful not to burn them. Place in the roasting tray with the meat side down. Cover with a sheet of baking paper then with tinfoil (this stops the tinfoil sticking to the ribs if they come in contact). Bake at 130°C / 265°F for 3 hours. Remove from the oven and for best results allow to cool in the stock overnight, but no fear if not.
Drain off the liquid through a fine sieve and reserve. Remove the ribs and set aside, when cooled you can cut into portions or leave whole, as you wish. Place the ribs on a tray, cover and keep in the fridge.
Sauce
Take the liquid you reserved from the ribs. Reduce in a pot until thickened.
Juice from 3 limes to be added at the end. Add the lime juice a little at a time and be sure to try the sauce, adjusting for taste.
Preheat the oven to 210°C / 410°F. Take the ribs out of the fridge and brush with the sticky sauce, keeping a ⅓ for a final brushing.
Place in the oven for 7-10 minutes depending on how cold the ribs are (if from the fridge then 10 minutes, if room temperature 7 minutes is fine). When finished, brush the ribs again with the hot sauce and serve.
To serve
Serve with fries and coleslaw.
