- Juice of 2 limes (or 3 small)
- 150g palm sugar (or castor sugar)

METHOD
Step 1
For the marinade, combine all the marinade ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on the stove for 15 minutes or until nice and glossy. Set aside.
Step 2
Place the ribs in a pan, cover them with cold water with the spices and peel. Turn the gas to low, bring to simmering point and cook for 1 hour or until meat is soft to the touch. Remove the ribs from the saucepan, place in a bowl, spread the marinade over the ribs and refrigerate for at least one hour.
Step 3
Heat a roasting pan on top of the stove, add the oil then add the ribs with the marinade and place in the oven to roast for ½ hour at 160°celcius. Alternatively, cook for 7-10 minutes on a barbeque hot plate.
