Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 265°F/130°C.
  • Season the rack of pork ribs on both sides.
  • Completely wrap the rack in a large sheet of strong foil, ensuring there are no holes. Once wrapped, completely wrap a second time with another sheet of foil, to ensure an airtight wrap. The ribs should be completely airtight to ensure they steam inside the foil.
  • Place onto a baking sheet and leave in the low oven for 3 hours.
  • Once done, remove from the oven and let sit for 25 minutes before opening up the foil.
  • Gently transfer the pork onto a large, lined baking sheet and use a pastry brush to brush over the ribs on both sides. Work carefully, as they will fall off the bones! Increase the oven temp to broil.
  • Place the ribs under the grill for about 5-10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
  • Add the cauliflower florets to the boiling water and leave to cook for around 11-12 minutes until tender, but not completely softened.
  • Drain in a colander and leave to steam off for 2-3 minutes.
  • Return the drained cauliflower to the pan and use the back of a knife or potato masher to lightly crush.
  • Stir in the cream cheese and most of the chives and season generously.
  • Serve the pork with the smashed cauliflower and season with more salt and pepper, if needed, then sprinkle the remaining chives over everything.
