Ingredients
- 1 rack of pork ribs ( about 750g)
- 1 tsp course sea salt
- 1 tsp Peppercorn
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- For the port glaze:
- 100 ml red port
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 star anise
- 3 cloves
- ½ cinnamon stick
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170°C.
- Crush the salt, peppercorn, fennel seeds, garlic and rosemary using a pestle and mortar. Add the mustard and the oil.
- Rub the rack with this mixture then put it in a baking tray. Cover the tin with foil then put it in the oven for an hour and a half.
- Meanwhile put the glaze ingredients into a small saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce it to half to a thick syrup. Let it cool.
- When the ribs are cooked, brush the glaze all over the ribs and put it back into the oven. Turn the heat up to 200C and bake for about 10-15 minutes (uncovered), until the skin is dark and sticky.
- Wrap the ribs in the foil and rest for 10 minutes before cutting them up along the bones.
