Tom Hixson’s Lip-Smacking Ribs

with Sweet Potato Chips

Dinnertime tonight is a bit of a trip down memory lane for a certain chef. When he was knee-high to a grasshopper, Patrick vividly remembers the time his uncle took him out for dinner to the Texas Lone Star rib shack. Suddenly all the usual rules went out the window as cutlery became optional and everybody gnawed on juicy ribs with their fingers. Only uncles can get away with stuff like that! We asked Tom to source us the most dribble-down-your-chin delicious, slow cooked ribs he could find for a fun, easy, no-rules dinner. Yeeehaaa!

Instructions

1

Pre-heat your oven to 220 degrees. Scrub (but don’t peel) your sweet potatoes under some water and cut them in half lengthways. Cut each half lengthways into 3 pieces (or 4 pieces if it’s a big ‘un). Remove the leaves from the rosemary stalk and chop finely.

Arrange your sweet potatoes in a single layer on your baking tray
2

Coat the sweet potatoes in a couple of tbsp of olive oil and a good pinch of salt and pepper. Scatter over the finely chopped leaves of your fresh rosemary. Put them on the top shelf of the oven for 25 mins, or until they are nice and crispy. Tip: Keeping on the skins retains those all important nutrients.

Roast your ribs
3

Remove the ribs from their pouches and place on a baking tray. Place on the middle shelf of the oven for 25 mins.

4

Boil a medium size pot of water with ½ tsp of salt. Cut the very tops and bottoms from the green beans. Once boiling, cook the beans for 90 secs then drain and rinse under cold water.

Add your beans to the frying pan
5

Peel the cloves of garlic and lightly crush it under your knife. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat with the whole garlic. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. Once the seeds start to pop, add in the beans for 3 mins.

Mix together your chives and sour cream
6

Chop your chives really finely (scissors make it easier). LH: Mix with the sour cream and a pinch of salt and pepper.

7

Serve everything with napkins and little cups of water to wash sticky fingers!
