Ingredients
Charles-Aimé Robert sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup chilli sauce
- 1/2 cup maple syrup (preferably very dark syrup for its strong flavour)

- Juice of one lemon

- 8 rack of pork ribs, 8 ribs about 2.5 cm (1 in) wide, on the bone, fat removed

Method
- Mix all sauce ingredients together in a bowl. Brush meat with half the sauce. Leave to marinate for 4 hours in refrigerator.
- Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
- For the ribs, heat 15 ml (1 tablespoon) olive oil in a frying pan and sauté 4 ribs at a time for 1 minute on each side. Cook the other ribs with remaining olive oil. Place ribs in a roasting pan, pour rest of sauce all over and bake 30 minutes.
- After cooking, remove ribs from roasting pan, place on a serving platter, cover with foil and reserve. Deglaze roasting pan with demi-glace and reduce sauce on hob for 5 minutes.
