- 2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp caster sugar
- 1 tsp dried oregano

METHOD
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Insert a wire rack into a lined baking dish, and place your ribs on top.
- In a small bowl, mix together the rub ingredients, reserving 1 tbsp of it for the glaze.
- Rub the rest of the mixture onto both sides of the ribs with a drizzle of olive oil.
- Place into the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the glaze ingredients and the reserve tablespoon of rub into a small, non-stick saucepan and stir over a medium-to-high heat until the sugar has dissolved and the vinegar has cooked off. Set aside.
- After 30 minutes, remove the ribs from the oven and cover with half of the glaze mixture. Increase the oven temperature to 200°C and place the ribs back in to cook for a further 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and slice. Cover with the remaining glaze.
- Enjoy!
