Father’s Day Recipe: Spicy Cider Spareribs

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach then these ribs, made with Molson Canadian Cider, are sure to be a hit this Father’s Day weekend.

Cooking time: 1 hour 30 minutes

Yield: Four portions

Ingredients:

4.4 lb spareribs
1 onion, coarsely chopped
4 cloves of garlic, coarsely chopped
2 tsp all spice (cinnamon, ginger, cloves and nutmeg) or mixed spices (ginger, allspice, cinnamon, coriander, mustard, bay leaf, cloves, black pepper)
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper, ground
Salt and pepper, freshly ground
1 473 ml can of Molson Canadian Cider
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp lime juice
1/3 cup Hoisin sauce
1/4 cup coriander, freshly chopped

Method:

Place the spareribs, onion, garlic and spices in a large pan. Season with salt and pepper. Pour in 375 ml (1 ½ cups) of Molson Canadian Cider, adding water as required to cover the spareribs. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 1 hour 15 minutes.

Mix together the tomato paste, brown sugar, lime juice, Hoisin sauce, coriander and remainder of Molson Canadian Cider. When the spareribs are cooked, drain, and immediately coat with sauce. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Spareribs can be slow cooked ahead of time and then marinated in the refrigerator for several hours.

Preheat the barbeque to medium heat. Place the spareribs on the grill. Brush with sauce during cooking and allow to cook for 15 minutes, turning at half time.

Enjoy with a salad and well chilled Molson Canadian Cider.
