Nutritional Information

Per serving:
439kcals
25.1g fat (7.6g saturated)
34g protein
20g carbs
11g sugar
1.7g salt

Ingredients

  • 1.2kg pork spare ribs or 2 racks of baby pork ribs
  • 150ml Lea & Perrins Tomato and Worcester Table Sauce
  • 1 red onion
  • 410g can mixed pulses, drained and rinsed
  • 2 ripe tomatoes, diced
  • Juice of 1 small lemon
  • Handful flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 red cabbage, very thinly sliced
  • 1 carrot, roughly grated
  • 4 tbsp light mayonnaise

Method: How to make sticky ribs

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Put the ribs into a roasting tin, pour over the table sauce, season and toss together well. Roast for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until sticky and lightly charred.

Tip

Butchers and supermarkets often sell racks of baby pork ribs, which are tender and juicy. Cook as you would the spare ribs, then simply snip the ribs apart with scissors to serve.

2. Meanwhile, make the salsa. Finely chop half the onion, mix together with the pulses, tomato, half the lemon juice and parsley. Season to taste.

3. For the coleslaw, thinly slice the remaining onion half, pop into a bowl and add the cabbage and carrot. Add the mayonnaise and remaining lemon juice, season and toss together. Serve 4-5 ribs, a spoonful of bean salsa and coleslaw per person with a cold beer and plenty of paper napkins!

  12. Hi everyone Sorry if you're disappointed this isn't Javine's recipe from Come Dine With Me - but rest assured it's a well-tested, delicious alternative. If you're keen to find out more about Javine's recipe, don't forget you can watch the episode on 4OD again. Just click on 'Watch 4OD' in the navigation strip at the top of the page and put Come Dine With Me in the programme finder box. Thanks The 4Food team

  15. Could we please at least have a hint as to where the recipe can be found? If it's in a book, I'd be happy to buy the book, and surely that would also be in the best interest of whoever owns the copyright?

  27. I think there are some ingredients left out here - when I watched last night I'm sure Javine put garlic, soya sauce and brown sugar otherwise there is nothing to make them 'sticky'.

  35. Look at the great following you have for this programme! Why deny the true recepies?If the guests are so precious about the copyright why show and discuss on TV in the first place! Why dont you put hints of alternative ingredients that would be compatable with a sticy rib recepie. All the chefs on cookery programmes tell us the ingredients....trust a "star" not to share. Wont buy any of her records.

  39. I have just seen Celebrity Come Dine With Me (which was fab).

I would be very grateful if you would email me the correct recipe. Many thanks

  43. Fine, you can't put up the recipe for the sticky ribs because of copyright, but perhaps you could give us some HINTS!??? It looked really good, and they all raved how delicious it was and the recipe you have here is probably not like it at all....
