Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 160°C (140°C fan/gas mark 3). Prepare the ribs by using a small sharp knife to gently lift and remove the tough white membrane from the back of the ribs, then place them on a large baking tray.

In a small bowl, mix together the cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, and a generous pinch of salt. Rub this spice blend evenly over both sides of the ribs.

Pour 3 tablespoons of water into the baking tray, then cover the tray tightly with aluminum foil to trap the steam. Bake for 3 hours until the meat is tender and pulling away from the bone.

As the ribs finish baking, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Carefully remove the ribs from the oven and discard the foil. Brush the glaze generously over the ribs and return them to the oven, uncovered, for another 10 minutes until the sauce is sticky and caramelized. Serve immediately.
