CARIBBEAN RUM RIBS FROM GRILLING MAGAZINE -SPRING 2010



Caribbean Rum Ribs from Grilling Magazine -Spring 2010 image

This recipe was so different we had to try it - Turned out so great we want to share it! Sweet with a Kick - or was it a Kick with a little sweet? Either way it was delish! NOTE: You will need 6 to 8 chunks of cherrywood, applewood, or hickory wood. NOTE:Be sure to set aside 2 1/2 teaspoons of the rub mixture to be used in the mop sauce and the Caribbean Rum Sauce. NOTE: I could not find "mango nectar" - so I used a can of Sliced Mangos in Mango Juice and smashed the mango slices to make a chunky "juice" .

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of meat. Ground beef or pork are both good choices for Caribbean meatballs. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Season the meat well. The spices in the Caribbean marinade will help to give the meatballs their flavor, so be sure to use plenty of them. Allspice, cumin, thyme, and paprika are all good choices.
  • Don't overmix the meat. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough. Just mix the ingredients until they are combined.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the meatballs. This will give them plenty of room to brown and cook evenly.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from burning.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce. A spiced rum sauce is a classic choice, but you can also use a tomato sauce or a barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Caribbean meatballs in spiced rum sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The meatballs are flavorful and juicy, and the sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
