Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pan and brown the pork spare ribs for 6-7 minutes. Add the onion, garlic and bay leaves and cook for 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Pour in 500ml water, cover and simmer for 45 minutes, until the ribs are tender and cooked through with no pink remaining.

  3. 3

    Blitz the black beans with their tin liquid to a smooth puree and stir into the pan. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often, until thick.

  4. 4

    Stir in the gari to thicken the puree further and give it body.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, heat a little more oil in a frying pan and stir-fry the spring greens for 4 minutes until wilted.

  6. 6

    Remove the bay leaves and serve the bean puree and ribs with the spring greens alongside.
