Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 red onions
  • 1 large bulb of fennel
  • 750 g waxy potatoes
  • 1 bulb of garlic
  • 1 lemon
  • 4 tbsp runney honey
  • 1.4 kg baby back ribs
  • 1/2 bunch oregano

Instructions
 

  • Prep the ribs: Remove the membrane or silverskin from the bottom side of the ribs. Flip over the rib rack so you are looking at the bottom side (the side without the meat.) Go to one end of the rib rack, using a knife slide it under the silverskin and pull. It should peel right off in one swipe. Set aside.
  • Glaze: Preheat oven to 180 °F degrees. Mix all of the glaze ingredients together in a large bowl. Place the ribs on a large roaster fitted with a rack and then brush the glaze all over the pork ribs thoroughly on both sides. If there’s any of the glaze left over, just pour it over the ribs.
  • Cook: Add 1/2 inch of water to the bottom of the roasting pan and transfer the roasting pan to the oven. Bake in the oven for about 1 hour and a half. Every 20 minutes or so, baste the ribs with the drippings from the pan. If the ribs start to brown too much, cover them with foil and finish cooking them.
  • Serve: Let the ribs rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
