Method

1
Begin this barbecue pork recipe by making the sauce. For the barbecue sauce, combine all the ingredients together and mix well. Set aside
2
For the apple purée, preheat the oven to 165°C/gas mark 3.5. Cut the apples into quarters and lay on a baking tray, cover with the honey, lemon thyme and oil. Place the baking tray in the oven and cook until the apples are golden
3
Transfer the apples to a blender and blend into a purée. Pass through a fine sieve and set aside in the fridge
4
For the ribs, place all the spices, peppercorns, shallot, garlic and apple juice in a pan. Bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce to a gentle simmer and add the ribs. Cover and cook over a low heat until the meat is tender, approximately 2 hours
5
Once the meat is tender, remove from the stock and set aside. Bring the stock to the boil and reduce to the consistency of a syrup, add to the barbecue sauce
6
Cut the ribs into single bones and use a pastry brush to coat the bones in the barbecue sauce. Set aside
7
Preheat the oven to 180°C/ gas mark 4. Cut the endive into quarters lengthways and sear in a pan with a knob of butter until well coloured. Add the chicken stock and transfer to the oven and cook for 6-8 minutes or until tender, do not turn the oven off
  • 2 white endive

9
Warm the ribs in the oven along with the apple purée. Serve the ribs and apple purée with the grilled pork chops and endive
