When dining in restaurants, it's common for people to be hit with a spark of inspiration. Be it a bartender's take on an old-fashioned favourite or how a simple dish is elevated through presentation, there's always a lot to learn from eating out. However, with Johannesburg's revolving door of clubs, I was impressed with a Caribbean spin on sticky ribs with a guava marinade.

When Eskort dropped a pack of easy cook riblets, I couldn't help but wonder if the recipe would work with their offering, especially for those lazy days or when a craving for something sweet and spicy hits.

Here's a look at how you can make dinner fun and easy with a remix of a pre-marinated dish.

SPICY GUAVA RIBS

Ingredients
  • 2½ guavas, peeled
  • 1½ chopped chilli pepper 
  • 100ml whisky or rum
  • 1kg Eskort BBQ cocktail ribs
  • Instructions
  • Add slices of guava to a blender. You can also use canned guavas. Feel free to remove pips if preferred.
  • Chop chilli pepper and add to the blender. Green chilli peppers or scotch bonnets would be recommended to get the necessary kick and complement the sweetness of the dish.
  • Add the whisky or rum and blend until guava is no longer lumpy.
  • Scoop it out of the blender and baste on one side of the ribs.
  • Place the ribs with the unbasted side facing the bottom of the air fryer (1700W, 5.5l) and cook for 10 minutes at 180°C.
  • Once it's done, take the ribs out and baste the bottom half. Flip them over and cook for another 10 minutes at 180°C.
  • Once cooked, serve the ribs on a plate and use any leftover sauce to baste the ribs.
  • Serve with a salad and/or bread of your choice.
