Spare ribs are cheap to buy.

Ingredients
2 (or more) ribs per person
oil
Flavouring

Equipment
oven tray
bowl
spoon

oven:
time in oven: an hour
then at:
time in oven: 20-30 mins

The point of this recipe is the slow cooking to make the ribs tender.
The flavourings are a matter of preference. At the end, I suggest some ideas.

Cooking process

Place the ribs on an oven tray and put on a little oil to stop them getting dried out.
Cook for about an hour at .
Mix the flavourings that you want in a bowl.
Spread over the ribs and return to the oven at for 20 to 30 mins.

Flavouring

It is quite possible to cook spare ribs without any flavourings. But if you want some, try one or more of

Garlic (chopped)
Ginger
Soy sauce
Tomatoe puree
Brown sugar
Vinegar (balsamic vinegar is nice)
Mustard
Chilli powder
Brown sauce or tomato ketchup (catsup)

In fact, you can have a good rummage around your store cupboard and see what you can find! Not too many flavourings at once, though, or they will either overwhelm in taste, or cancel each other out.

Watch out if you use sugar. Sugar and vinegar make a sweet and sour taste, but cooked sugar can burn.
