•  2 bay leaves
•  2 cloves of garlic
•  Royco Spare Rib Marinade

Instructions

1. Place the rack of ribs in a large pot of water with bay leaves, garlic cloves and a pinch of salt. Boil for 40 minutes.
2. Mix the Royco Spare Rib Marinade as per the instructions on the pack. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan on low heat until golden and set aside.
3. Remove ribs from the pot when soft enough to pierce a knife through, but not yet falling off the bone. Place the ribs in a casserole dish and coat in the Royco Spare Rib Marinade. Leave to marinade for 20 minutes.
4. Grill the ribs over the coals until either side is brown and sticky. Plate the ribs and garnish with the toasted sesame seeds and spring onions.
5. Serve with your favourite braai sides.

• For a vegetarian option, marinate large brown mushrooms. No par-boiling is required, just grill until cooked and serve with the same garnish.
