Recipe Ideas

1. Classic Sweet & Smoky Pork Ribs (Serves 4)

Ingredients:

• 2 full racks of pork spare ribs or baby back ribs
• 3–4 tbsp Nature Kitchen Sweet & Smoky Rib Rub
• 2 tbsp oil or mustard (as a binder)
• Optional: Apple juice or cider vinegar for spritzing

Method:

1. Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs.
2. Lightly coat with oil or mustard, then apply the rub generously on both sides.
3. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (ideally overnight).
4. Cook low and slow at 120–135°C for 4–5 hours (or until tender).
5. Optional: Finish with a light glaze or extra rub for the last 20 minutes.
6. Rest 10 minutes, slice and serve.

2. Oven-Baked Sweet & Smoky Ribs

Same rub method as above. Bake at 150°C covered in foil for 2.5 hours, then uncover and finish at 180°C for 20–30 minutes until sticky and caramelised.

3. Sweet & Smoky Chicken Wings

Toss wings in a little oil + 1–2 tbsp of the rub. Bake or air-fry at 200°C for 35–40 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy.

4. Smoky Pulled Pork Shoulder

Rub a 2–3 kg pork shoulder generously. Slow cook in the oven or smoker at 120°C for 6–8 hours until it pulls apart easily. Shred and mix with a little of the cooking juices.

5. Sweet & Smoky Roasted Vegetables

Toss sweet potatoes, carrots, peppers and red onion with oil and 1–2 tsp of the rub. Roast at 200°C for 30–35 minutes.
