Special mention to Cotty who showed that a simple, but well executed dish will always have appeal to hungry voters.

Well, Tony's fine dining pork medley looks amazing, but here goes nothing....

I had to enter the pork cooking competition, having documented the rearing of the donor animals last year, and with my wife away this week I took the chance to do some 'bloke' cooking - the ribstravaganza.
Since there are too many in a pack for one meal (unless you're Cotty) so I decided to do a 2 nighter - BBQ ribs one night, Chinese ribs the following night.



BBQ rub consists of (in man measurements);
Smoked Paprika (a fair bit)
Cumin (not so much)
Onion salt (about as much as the cumin)
Cayenne (a sprinkle)
Italian herbs (another sprinkle)
Boullion (more than the cumin, less than the paprika)
Muscovado sugar (a fair bit, to counteract the heat of the paprika)

Into the fridge overnight, then half the ribs in the slow cooker for 8 hours;



Then slathered in (my home made) BBQ sauce, into a hot oven for 20 mins and onto the plate with home made wedges and tinned sweetcorn;



I added 5 spice powder and rice wine to the remaining ribs and they went back into the fridge overnight.

Today, ribs into the slow cooker for another 8 hours, then slathered in BBQ sauce and sweet chilli sauce and into a hot oven for 30 mins;



Meanwhile, a quick stir fry;



Then the bones are pulled from the ribs, the meat chopped and onto the stir fry;

That looks spectacular, I'll be giving those ribs a go I think!

A worthy winner indeed
