Ribs with spicy chili glaze

Ingredients:
Chunky pork ribs

Glaze:
1 onion
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp tomato purée
1 can chopped tomatoes
3 sprigs of thyme
2 ancho chilis
1 chipotle chili
2 jalapeño chilis
300 ml beef stock
50 ml white wine vinegar
50 ml honey
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 

Do as follows:

1. Start preparing the day before your barbecue by wrapping the ribs in aluminium foil and slow cooking them in the oven (at 85°C) for at least 10 hours. Allow them to cool in the fridge.
2. For the glaze, start by chopping and frying the onion and garlic. Then add the tomato purée and chopped tomatoes and stir. Add the thyme, chopped chilis, beef stock, white wine vinegar, honey and Worcestershire sauce and bring to the boil. Simmer on low heat for an hour and then use a hand blender to mix into a smooth paste.
3. Heat the barbecue and start barbecuing the ribs. Heat them through for a nice colour and great taste. Once done, brush them with the glaze so as to cover as much of the meat as possible.
