Instructions

- 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.
