Method
- To make the ribs, mix all the sauce ingredients in a dish large enough to hold the ribs. Add the ribs to dish, coating them well with sauce. Leave to marinate for at least an hour (overnight is best).
- Set the oven to gas mark 6 or 200°C. Put a baking tray and a roasting tin in the oven to heat up.
- To make the fries, cut the potatoes into thick chips, coat well in the oil and put on the hot baking sheet. Put the ribs and sauce into a hot roasting tin.
- Cook ribs and fries for 1 hr, turning them a few times while cooking.
- To make the salad, mix the lemon juice and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Finely chop the stick of celery and half of the apple, and 3 chicory leaves, adding them to the dressing as you go. Pile the salad into 6 chicory leaves on a plate and garnish with slices of apple from the remaining half, and a few nuts.
- Serve the ribs, fries and salad on the same plate - with lots of napkins to hand! (Not suitable for freezing).
