Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 160/140 °C (fan/gas). Use a small sharp knife to remove the white membrane from the ribs, being careful not to cut the meat, then place them on a tray. In a small bowl mix cumin, paprika and cayenne pepper with a generous pinch of salt, then rub this mixture onto the ribs. Add 3 tbsp water to the tray, tightly cover with foil and bake for 3 hours, until the meat falls off the bone.

2. 2

   When the ribs are almost done, combine the remaining ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Cook for 1‑2 minutes until the mixture thickens and some liquid evaporates. Brush the ribs with the sauce and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes, until the sauce becomes sticky. Serve immediately.
