Country-Style Ribs with Quick-Pickled Watermelon

These country-style pork ribs offer a sophisticated twist on classic barbecue flavours, blending a deeply savoury soy and ginger glaze with a refreshing summer salad. This dairy-free dish features succulent pork ribs marinated in a rich, umami-packed sauce before being grilled to charred perfection. The addition of a zingy, coriander-spiked dressing brings out the natural sweetness of the meat while keeping the meal light and vibrant.

Perfect for an outdoor summer gathering or a weekend family dinner, the star of this recipe is the quick-pickled watermelon and cherry tomato garnish. The fruit provides a cool, crisp contrast to the spicy mustard-rubbed pork, creating a beautifully balanced plate. Serve these ribs with a side of steamed rice or a fresh green salad to soak up the leftover lime and ginger vinaigrette.

Ingredients for Country-Style Ribs with Quick-Pickled Watermelon

  • 100g (packed

  • about 90g ) light brown sugar or palm sugar

  • 120ml soy sauce

  • 60ml de vinagre de arroz sin sazonar

  • 3 cebollas de primavera, finamente picadas

  • 6 dientes de ajo, picados

  • 2 tablespoons minced peeled ginger (from one 2x1-inch piece)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves

  • 1 tablespoon hot chilli paste (such as sambal oelek)

  • 1 cucharada de aceite de sésamo tostado

  • 1 cucharadita de pimienta negra recién molida

  • 1/2 cebolla mediana, en rodajas

  • 1.4kg (1-inch-thick) country-style pork ribs or bone-in pork chops

  • 2 tablespoons Chinese hot mustard powder

  • 1 cucharadita de semillas de cilantro

  • 1/3 cup Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar

  • 2 cucharadas de jugo de lima fresco

  • 1 cucharada de chalota finamente picada

  • 1 cucharadita de miel

  • 120ml de aceite de oliva

  • Sal kosher, pimienta recién molida

  • 1200ml coarsely chopped seedless watermelon (cut from half a 6- to 3.2kg watermelon)

  • 950ml Sun Gold or cherry tomatoes (about 575g), halved

  • 1/4 cup coriander leaves with tender stems plus more for garnish

First, make the marinade. Bring brown sugar and 120ml water to a boil in a small saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Lower heat to medium and simmer until reduced to 60ml ; transfer to a medium bowl. Whisk in soy sauce and next 8 ingredients. Stir in onion. Let cool. Pour the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag.

Rub ribs with mustard powder and add to marinade in bag; seal bag and turn ribs to coat. Place bag in a baking dish and chill, turning occasionally, for at least 6 hours and up to overnight.

Start with the dressing. In a small saucepan over low heat, toast coriander seeds until fragrant and beginning to pop, 2-3 minutes. Transfer coriander to a baking sheet and crush slightly with the back of a cool skillet. Combine coriander, vinegar, lime juice, shallot, and honey in a small bowl. Whisk in oil and season with salt and pepper. Set vinaigrette aside.

Place watermelon in a large bowl; add 120ml vinaigrette and toss to coat. Cover and chill, tossing occasionally, for up to 1 hour to lightly pickle watermelon.

Build a medium fire in a charcoal grill, or heat a gas grill to medium-high. Transfer ribs from bag, leaving some marinade clinging to surface, onto a baking sheet. Pour remaining marinade from bag into a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium and simmer for 3 minutes. Set marinade aside.

Grill ribs until nicely charred and cooked to medium, about 5 minutes per side. Using tongs, dunk each rib into reserved marinade. Return ribs to grill and cook, turning once, until cooked to medium-well, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter.

Toss tomatoes, 1/4 cup coriander, and 1 tablespoon vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Top ribs with pickled watermelon. Scatter tomato mixture over. Garnish with more coriander. Serve, passing remaining vinaigrette alongside for drizzling over.
