Method
- Light a disposable or charcoal barbecue. Put the ribs into a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make a glaze for the ribs. Put the balsamic vinegar and chilli into a small pan over a high heat. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced by half and thickened slightly. Set aside to cool, then season.
- Make the coleslaw. Put the mayonnaise into a large serving bowl, stir in the lemon juice and season well. Add the onion, cabbage, carrot and celery and mix well. Season, cover and set aside.
- If using a barbecue: Brush the glaze over the ribs and place on the hot barbecue. Cook for 10 minutes (over an indirect medium heat if it’s a gas barbecue), turning now and then until lightly charred all over.
If using an oven: pop the ribs on a baking tray lined with foil and cook under a hot grill. - Divide the ribs between plates and serve with the coleslaw – and plenty of napkins!
