Cover one side

The ribs may have a white membrane covering one side. If so, remove it by lifting the edge with the tip of a knife, then once you’re able to grab hold of the membrane, pulling firmly to remove. Alternatively, a butcher will do this for you.

3.

Combine Ingredients

Combine the brown sugar, five spice, paprika and sea salt, and rub this all over the ribs. Place them into a roasting tin then pour 200ml water around (not over) the ribs.
