It’s BBQ season! As the weather gets warmer, the dedicated family cook (generally Dad) has the ongoing task of impressing family and friends with a jaw-dropping, mouth-watering BBQ. Impress your guests with more than just burgers and sausages this year and try our recipe for smoky pork ribs with the added flavours of corn, beans, and tomato salsa…
Ingredients:

Method:
- Place ribs in a large saucepan of cold, salted water over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook for 45 minutes until tender. Drain and cool slightly.
- Combine sauces, sugar and half the paprika in a bowl. Spread paprika mixture over ribs, keeping ¼ cup for basting.
