James Martin serves up gently spicy, sticky ribs for the authentic taste of the deep-south on today’s episode of James Martin Comforts.

James says: “This dish is perfect for a lazy day at home, it is simple to prepare and is finger licking good. You could finish the ribs off on a barbecue instead of the oven if you prefer.”

James starts his sticky barbecue rips with baked potato and chive soured cream dish by brazing the beef in water with garlic, onions, star anise and fennel seeds to ensure the meat is ready to fall off the bone.
