By KeyIngredient

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp (15 mL) fresh ginger,
• finely chopped
• 1 tbsp (15 mL) garlic, finely chopped
• Zest and juice of 1 large navel
• orange; peel zest into strips while
• trying to avoid white pith
• 1 ⁄2 tsp (2 mL) chili flakes
• 1 ⁄4 cup (50 mL) soya sauce
• 1 ⁄4 cup (50 mL) dark brown sugar
• 1 cup (250 mL) dark ale
• 3 racks baby back pork ribs, cut into

Preparation

Step 1

1. In a large freezer bag, place the ginger, garlic, orange zest, juice, chili flakes, soya sauce, brown sugar and ale; blend well.

2. Add the ribs and mix well with marinade so that all ribs are coated. Place bag in a 9 x 13 inch (23 x 33 cm) baking dish and marinate in refrigerator for 2 hours or up to a day. If possible, give the ribs a shake every once in a while to redistribute marinade.

3. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

4. Empty ribs into baking dish along with marinade. Layer ribs so that they are overlapping as little as possible. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 1 1⁄2 hours.

5. Discard foil, pour all liquid into a small saucepan, and continue to bake ribs until browned, about 30 minutes.

6. Meanwhile reduce the cooking liquid over medium-high heat until it reaches a sauce consistency, about 30 minutes.

7. When ribs are browned, brush with sauce and serve.
