Sweet 'N' Spicy Spareribs
4 pounds meaty spareribs
8 carrots
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons clear honey
juice of 1 lemon
1 tablespoon good-quality curry powder
salt and pepper
Place the spareribs in the soaked clay pot. Cut the carrots in half, then quarter the pieces lengthways. Add the carrots and sprinkle the chopped onion over the top. Mix together the honey, lemon juice, curry powder and plenty of seasoning, then trickle the mixture evenly over the spareribs. Cover the pot and place in the cold oven. Set the oven at 475F. Cook for 1 hour.
Transfer the carrots to a serving dish and keep hot. Rearrange the spareribs and baste them with the juices, then cook, uncovered, rearranging the ribs once more, for a further 20 minutes, or until well browned. Serve piping hot.
