Sweat the onion and garlic in the oil without color.

Mix in the vinegar, tomato puree, honey, stock, Worcester sauce, mustard, thyme and season with salt.

Allow the barbeque sauce to simmer for 10-15 mins.

Place the prepared spare ribs fat side up on a trivet in a roasting tin.

Brush the ribs liberally with the barbecue sauce.

Place in a moderately hot oven at 350-400F (180-200C) and cook for 3/4 to 1 hour.

Baste generously with the barbecue sauce every 10-15 minutes.

The cooked ribs should be brown and crispy.

Cut the ribs into individual portions and serve.

Healthy Eating Tip: Sweat the onion and garlic in a little unsaturated oil. No added salt is necessary as the Worcester sauce is salty.
