Spicy spare ribs with cheesy polenta

Spicy Spare Ribs
1. In a saucepan, layer the spare rib slices and just cover with water. Bring the water to a boil and cover, simmer for 15 mins.
2. In a bowl, combine the wine, soy sauce, brown sugar, grated ginger, five spice powder, cayenne pepper, grounded coriander seeds and black pepper. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
3. Pour the sauce over the ribs. Add the tomato puree, onions and garlic and stir. Continue to simmer for another 45 mins. You might have to add more water if the liquid has reduced too much. Add the tomatoes and simmer until the beef is tender and the gravy is rich and thick. Serve with the Cheesy Polenta.

If you wanted to use a rack of spare ribs or individual cut ribs, just double up the ingredients and follow the same method.


Cheesy Polenta
1. In a saucepan add the water and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Gradually pour the polenta and stir constantly so that there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the polenta thickens and add the parmesan cheese. Remove from the heat and stir the cheese in. Serve with the Spicy Spare Ribs.
