- 15 ml (1 tbsp) each chopped fresh Italian parsley and mint

Method
1. Ribs: Place all the marinade ingredients, except the meat, in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, while stirring to dissolve the honey. Reduce the heat and simmer without a lid for 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Allow to cool.
2. Brush two-thirds of the sauce over the ribs and allow to marinate for 30-60 minutes. Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
3. Place the ribs in a single layer on a large baking tray or in a shallow oven dish and cover with foil. Roast for 20 minutes.
4. Remove foil and brush with the remaining marinade. Roast for another 20 minutes, or until cooked, but still juicy. Alternatively, braai ribs over medium coals until golden brown and cooked.
5. Slaw: Meanwhile, mix the lemon-flavoured avocado oil in a large bowl with the vinegar, mustard and herbs. Season to taste.
6. Toss the cabbage, carrot and apple with the dressing until mixed through.
7. Serve ribs with the slaw and dollops of guacamole. Baby potatoes, roasted in a drizzle of Westfalia Fruit Garlic Flavoured Avocado Oil will be perfect with this meal.
Tips
1. This marinade also works well with chicken portions. Try it on chicken wings for a delicious snack or meal, but only roast or braai for 20-30 minutes.
2. For a different flavour profile, substitute the mustard in the slaw with ground cumin or garam masala to taste.
