Spareribs In Special Sauce

• 4 pounds pork spareribs
• 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
• 1 medium onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (or 1/4 teaspoon dried leaves)
• 1 small green pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Tabasco
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 teaspoons dry mustard
• 1/2 cup Italian tomato paste
• 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried leaves)
• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary

Instructions

Preheat the broiler. Cut the ribs into three-rib sections. Chop the onion, garlic, and pepper, and saute in heated olive oil until slightly browned. Add the tomato paste, salt, basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley, Tabasco, dry mustard, Worcestershire sauce, water, and honey. Allow to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the red wine, and simmer another 15 minutes. Use the sauce to baste the spareribs as they broil (about 30 minutes), but reserve a little to be served hot at the table. (serves 3 to 4)
