Saw this recipe in a friend's copy of the Nigella Christmas book. Bought some ribs today, and thought I could google the recipe, but no such luck! Does anyone have the recipe?

24 pork spare ribs
100g dark muscavado sugar
175ml bourbon
2 x 15ml tbspoons soy sauce
2 x 15ml tbspoons American mustard
2 x 15ml tbspoons tomato ketcup

Put ribs in freezer bag and add the other ingredients to form marinade. Leave in fridge overnight (putting bag in bowl to ensure no drips/spillage)

Next day, take ribs out of fridge and pre-heat oven to 220C/gas 7.

Pick ribs out of marinade and put in shallow roasting tin, then pour marinade into a saucepan.

Cook ribs for one hour - turning halfway.

When ribs cooked, bring marinade to boil and cook for about 7 minutes until sauce thick and glossy.

Plate ribs and pour sauce over them.

Thanks JingleBelle! I do own a number of Nigella books, just not this one...

Does anyone have the spoonbread recipe?

If it's in the Christmas book, I'll have it. Have DD half sleeping me at the mo. I'll check later and update on here if I have it. I think I've got all Nigella's books so I must have it somewhere. Was surprised it wasn't on Nigella Online (or whatever it's called). Delia is much better organised Xmas Smile

Spoonbread:

75g soft butter, plus more for greasing
450g sweetcorn kernals, drained
4 spring onions, roughly chopped
150g mature cheddar, roughly chopped
4 eggs
350g yellow cornmeal
2 tsp baking powder
1 litre full fat milk

Nigella recommends baking in a round, shallowish copper roasting tin (28cm x 5cm deep with a 2.25l capacity). I'm sure you've got one of these just lying around - she says to adust cooking time if you're using one with different dimensions Xmas Hmm

Preheat oven to 220/Gas 7. Grease ovenproof tin/dish.

Melt 75g butter in a saucepan over a low heat and leave to cool.

Put sweetcorn, spring onions and cheddar into a food processor with the eggs.

Process to chop the vegetables and cheese and then add the cornmeal and baking powder.

Process again until the mixture becomes paste-like, then, with the motor running, add the milk and melted butter.

Pour into the greased tin/dish and bake for 1 hour until just set.

Remove spoonbread from the over and let it stand for 10 mins - it will continue cooking as it stands - before taking to the table.

Good luck!
