Instructions

  • Place the ribs in a large, wide saucepan. Cover with water and add the onion, garlic, fennel seeds and star anise.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer very gently for three hours, or until the meat is tender, skimming any scum off occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
  • Rub the baking potatoes with a little oil. Create four small piles of sea salt in a baking tray then place the potatoes on top. Bake for 1-1½ hours, or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, make the bbq sauce. Heat a sauté pan until hot and add the butter, onions and garlic and fry for 4-5 minutes, or until softened.
  • Add the chillies, fennel seeds, star anise and sugar. Cook for a further 3-4 minutes until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add the ketchups and soy sauce and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for five minutes, or until thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and cool slightly before placing in a blender. Pulse to form a smooth pureé.
  • Dip the ribs into the sauce then place into a roasting tray and spoon some more sauce over the top. Place in the oven with the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until sticky.
  • While the ribs cook, put the double cream, lemon juice, chives and a pinch of salt into a large bowl and whisk until thickened.
  • Serve the ribs with the jacket potato topped with a dollop of butter and soured cream.
