1 pack Essential 2 British Pork Half Rack of Ribs
2 tbsp Essential Tomato Ketchup
1½ tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp Essential Vegetable Oil
30g Essential Chunky Peanut Butter
1 tsp wine or cider vinegar
½ Essential Pointed Cabbage, shredded
1 large Essential Carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
10g piece ginger, grated
4 Essential Salad Onions, chopped
1 tbsp Essential Salted Peanuts, chopped

Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7. Cut between the ribs to separate them. Combine the ketchup, paprika and oil in a bowl, then toss with the ribs to coat.
Line a roasting tin with foil, then add the ribs. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until piping hot, cooked through and deep golden.
Beat the peanut butter in a large bowl with the vinegar and 2 tbsp boiling water – stir to loosen. Add the cabbage, carrot, ginger and ½ the salad onions and mix well. If the slaw seems dry, add a dash more cold water. Transfer to plates and scatter with the peanuts and remaining salad onions. Serve with the ribs.

Cook’s tip

This is a great recipe for outdoor eating too. The salad can be made ahead, while the ribs are best ovenbaked for 20 minutes, before finishing off on the barbecue.
