An indulgent feast the whole family will enjoy. Roll up your sleeves, tuck your napkin into your shirt and dig in!
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper (this is optional but will save the washer-upper some scrubbing later) place on the rack of pork ribs, cover with foil and pop into the oven on the middle shelf and set the timer for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, turn the oven up to 220°C/200°C fan. Tip the curly fries onto another tray in an even layer and place onto the top shelf of the hot oven to join the ribs. Set the timer for another 10 minutes.
Finely shred the ** sweetheart cabbage**, grate the carrots and apples (no need to peel) and finely slice the red onion. Mix all the ingredients together well in a large mixing bowl before spooning on the sour cream, juice and zest of the lemon and seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Chop the mint and fold this through. (You can also do this whole process in a food processor, using the grater attachment, if you have one).
When the oven alarm sounds for the second time, remove the foil from the ribs. Remove the curly fries, turn them over and place back into the oven, along with the ribs for a further 10 minutes. If you have some BBQ sauce, spoon a little over the ribs at this point to help them colour and glaze. Once cooked, well browned, and caramelised, serve the pork ribs (half a rack per person), with a generous helping of the green apple slaw and a bowl of curly fries on the side.
