EAT-WITH-YOUR-HANDS SPARERIB MARINADE (WITH ONION SALAD IDEA)

Steps:

• Prepare, measure out, and mix all the ingredients for the marinade. Whisk well.
• The recipe mentions "2 spareribs" but you'll know how much you need, or whether you want to cut it slightly smaller than 2 pieces, which are quite large.
• Pour the marinade over the ribs, and brush it on all over. (Use a glass or other non-reactive container).
• Loosely cover and leave for a few hours. Overnight is best.
• Grill over hot coals until it threatens to catch. Turn once, and grill for about another 10 minutes while you brush on the marinade every now and then.
• Leave the grilled ribs under foil (in a warm spot) for a few minutes, cut up into pieces easily taken in hand (!), and present on a heated plate. Whether you need more salt is a question of personal taste.
• Surprisingly, this salad idea goes well with it: thinly sliced red onions which were mixed with a little sugar and a pinch of salt, and sprinkled with lemon juice. Do ahead so sugar can melt. (Just use your own intuition: no recipe exists!).
