Spicy Caribbean Pork Ribs
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger root, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground clove
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 limes, zested and juiced
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1 rack pork spareribs, cut in half
Instructions
1
First, preheat the oven to a high temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (or 175 degrees Celsius).
2
Meanwhile, combine the brown sugar, ginger, cayenne pepper, ground clove, cinnamon, paprika, dried oregano, black pepper, salt, and lime zest in a bowl; set it aside for now.
3
Next, extract the juice from the limes and mix it with the freshly squeezed orange juice in a separate container.
4
Now, take the spice mixture and apply it evenly to both sides of the ribs, making sure they are well-coated.
5
Place the coated ribs in a clear glass baking dish, and pour the citrus-based marinade over them.
6
Cover the dish with a lid to trap the flavors, and bake in the preheated oven for 90 minutes.
7
After 90 minutes, remove the lid and continue cooking until the ribs are nicely browned, adding an additional 20 to 30 minutes to the overall cooking time.
8
Make sure to baste the ribs with the pan juices every few minutes while they are cooking, ensuring they stay moist and flavorful.
