Smoked honey sesame pork ribs

These old school American-style ribs are the perfect use of a barbeque smoker for a weekend dinner.

Preparation: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 2 h 40 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 2 racks pork ribs
• 100 g honey
• 100 g butter, sliced
• 50 g sesame seeds
• 1 spring onion (scallion), thinly sliced

Rub (Dry spice mix)

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon celery powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper, finely ground
• 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Method:

1. Combine all of the rub ingredients in a bowl.
2. Remove the membrane from the underside of the pork ribs and apply liberal coating of the rub to completely cover all sides of the ribs.
3. Indirectly hot smoke the ribs for 1 hour inside a barbecue smoker at 130°C with apple or peach wood chunks or chips.
4. Remove the ribs from the smoker and drizzle with the honey, top with sliced butter.
5. Double wrap each rack of ribs in foil and return to the smoker for a further 1½ hours at 130°C.
6. Allow the ribs to rest for 10 minutes before slicing and sprinkling with sesame seeds and spring onion to serve.

We know what to eat to stay healthy. So why is it so hard to make the right choices?
