Equipment
- 1 Nando's PERi-PERi Hot Sauce Variety Gift Pack
Ingredients
- 3 pounds country-style pork ribs
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup Nando’s Piri Piri sauce plus more for tossing
Instructions
- In a large bowl or zip-top bag, combine the ribs with ½ cup piri piri sauce, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Arrange the ribs in a single layer. Cover tightly with foil and roast for 1½ hours.
- Remove the foil and increase the heat to 400°F (200°C). Roast for another 20–30 minutes, until the ribs are browned and tender.
- Let the ribs rest for 5–10 minutes. Shred the meat with two forks or leave whole if preferred.
- Add a few tablespoons of fresh piri piri sauce to the shredded meat and toss to coat. Adjust to your heat preference.
- Enjoy with rice, potatoes, crusty bread, or in sandwiches.
Notes
Alternate ingredient suggestions/ notes on ingredient choice:
- Country-style pork ribs – You can also use pork shoulder or pork butt, cut into strips.
- Salt – Use kosher or sea salt; reduce slightly if using table salt.
- Black pepper – Red pepper flakes or white pepper work too.
- Garlic powder – Sub fresh garlic if you prefer, but watch for browning.
- Olive oil – Any high-heat oil like avocado oil is a fine swap.
- Nando’s piri piri sauce – Homemade piri piri, harissa + lemon, or chili garlic sauce with vinegar, or chicken wing sauce will work in a pinch.
