Add the basil, cilantro and salt and pulse several more times. Add the ground spices and pulse several more times. Through the feed tube, pour the vegetable oil with the machine on so that a paste can be formed. Place into a small bowl and set aside.

• Temporarily remove the ribs from the pot. Using paper towels, remove the oil floating on the surface of the sauce and discard. Return the ribs to the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes to heat them again. If you are not planning on serving the dish within the hour, cool completely, refrigerate covered for no more than 24 hours and then reheat when ready to serve.
