Method

  1. If cooking immediately, preheat your oven to 160ºC (320ºF) bake function.
  2. Remove the white membrane from the ribs. Pierce the membrane with a sharp knife, slice a strip (to get it started), then peel it off using your hands and a paper towel (the paper towel will help you grip the membrane).
  3. Next you can season the meat (I like to do this the night before) with the spice rub. Mix the paprika, brown sugar, cumin, salt, black pepper, and dried chilli flakes in a small bowl. Then rub onto the ribs and leave to marinate overnight. If you are in a rush just add the spice rub mixture to the sauce.
  4. Squeeze the juice out of the oranges. Finely chop the green leek tips. Puree the canned tomatoes until smooth (I used a stick blender).
  5. Heat a large frypan over medium high heat. Add a splash of neutral oil and brown the meaty side of the ribs for 3 to 4 minutes. Then transfer to a roasting tray. In the same frypan, fry the green leek tips in the garlic infused oil and then transfer to the roasting tray.
  6. While you fry the pork ribs, make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add the freshly squeezed orange juice, low FODMAP stock, pureed tomato, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, mustard powder and Worcestershire sauce (and add the spices from the spice rub if you didn’t pre-marinate your meat). Mix to combine and allow to heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  7. Pour the sauce over the pork. Cover with tinfoil and bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Check and see if the pork is tender. If the pork isn’t tender, recover it and continue cooking for another 30 minutes.
  8. Transfer the pork to a chopping board. Pour the leftover sauce from the pork dish through a sieve and into a small saucepan. Rapidly boil over medium high heat, until it reduces into a moderately thick sauce (this will take 10 to 15 minutes).
  9. Increase the oven temperature to 220ºC (430ºF).  Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  10. Gently cut or pull the ribs into single rib portions. Place on the baking tray. Coat each rib with sauce (use about half the sauce). Bake in the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes, basting a couple of times with the sauce. Cook until the pork is delightfully sticky!
  11. Serve hot with your favourite low FODMAP sides.
