Ingredients

• 1 hot red chili pepper
• 4-5 garlic cloves
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 st. l. black and allspice peas
• by 4 tbsp. l. brown sugar and coarse sea salt
• 400 g chopped tomatoes in their own juice
• 1 medium onion
• 4 cm ginger root

Cooking

Step 1

Pour 2 liters of water into a large saucepan. Add all spices, as well as salt and sugar. Bring to a boil, cook until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved, 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the stalk and seeds from the chili, cut the flesh into half rings. Remove the saucepan from the heat, put the chili pepper and garlic cloves crushed with a knife blade. Cool completely, about 2 hours.

Step 3

Cut the ribs into sections of 1 rib each, place in a wide bowl with high edges and pour the marinade over. Close and refrigerate for 4-24 hours.

Step 4

For the sauce, peel and chop the onion, ginger and garlic. Saute the onion in vegetable oil until soft over very low heat, 3-4 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, sauté 3 more minutes.

Step 5

Add tomatoes and liquid to the pan with spicy vegetables and bring to a boil. After 2–3 min. remove from fire and cool. This sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Step 6

Roast the marinated ribs over hot coals or under the hottest grill in the oven until golden brown on both sides. Serve immediately with tomato sauce.
