  1. MARINATION STATION

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a bowl, combine the grated garlic, the grated ginger, the lime juice, a sweetener of choice (to taste), ½ the chopped coriander, and seasoning. Add the ribs and toss until fully coated. Set aside to marinade for at least 10 minutes.

  2. CAN I GIVE YOU SOME AD-RICE?

    While the ribs are marinating, place the rinsed rice and the saffron water in a pot over a medium-high heat. Submerge in 225ml of salted water and pop on a lid. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 8-10 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and set aside to steam for a further 10 minutes. On completion, drain if necessary, toss through the drained black beans, and fluff up with a fork.

  3. AH-RIB-A!

    Place the marinated ribs (with all the marinade) on a baking tray, and cover with tinfoil. Bake in the hot oven for 40-45 minutes. When there are 10 minutes remaining, remove the tinfoil. Return to the oven for the remaining time. On completion, the ribs should be cooked through.

  4. TOASTY COCONUT

    Place the coconut flakes in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 2-4 minutes until lightly golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool.

  5. CHARRED PINEAPPLE

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the drained pineapple rings and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until charred. Remove from the pan and cover to keep warm.

  6. SERVICE, CHEF!

    Plate up the juicy pork ribs and side with the saffron & bean rice. Sprinkle over the toasted coconut flakes. Side with the charred pineapple rings and garnish with the remaining coriander. A real taste sensation, Chef!
