#Recipeoftheday Baked Mustard Spare Ribs

Baked Mustard Spare Ribs

I normally use mustard as a main ingredient on chicken.  This time, I decided to do baked mustard spare ribs. I came across some reduced priced spare ribs in the supermarket and decided there and then to try it out.

My kids enjoyed it and it was not as pungent as expected of mustard. I use grainy English mustard for this.

I was also feeling rather lazy and decided not to do the chopping and grinding. Since I have some left over garlic powder, ginger powder, etc., I tried to use these instead of using fresh ingredients. When one buys all types of spices for cooking, sometimes one ends us having so many different types and usually cannot finish using them. Unless of course you make curry every day.

It is meant to be Honey Mustard, but I decided not to use honey as I do not have any on the cupboard. So I use sugar instead. If you have honey then use it. Or you can use other types of liquid sugar.
