Stacks of pork ribs make an alternative to chicken in this Caribbean feast with sticky marinade and fruity basmati accompaniment

Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 x 500g racks pork ribs
3 tbsp jerk seasoning
600ml pineapple juice
5 tbsp dark soft brown sugar
4 tbsp cider vinegar
juice 1 lime
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 large banana shallot , finely sliced
1 green pepper , deseeded and finely diced
200g pack fresh pineapple chunks, finely diced
2 tsp brown sugar
200g basmati rice , cooked and cooled
small bunch coriander , chopped

Steps:

  • Lay the ribs in a roasting tin and rub all over with 2 tbsp of the jerk spice mix. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hrs, or preferably overnight.
  • Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Put the ribs in a clean roasting tin, season and pour over 500ml of the pineapple juice. Cover the tin with foil and bake for 2 hrs.
  • Mix the remaining jerk spice mix, pineapple juice, sugar, vinegar, lime juice and a good pinch of salt in a saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then bubble until thick and sticky.
  • To make the rice, heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Add the shallot and pepper, and stir-fry until softened. Add the pineapple, brown sugar and plenty of seasoning, and continue cooking until the pineapple starts to caramelise.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and pour away the cooking liquid. Increase oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Pat the ribs dry with some kitchen paper, then brush the jerk sauce all over them. Return to the oven for 20 mins, brushing with any remaining sauce every 5 mins or so, until the ribs are really sticky.
  • Add the cooked rice to the pan with the pineapple and vegetables, stir-fry for a further 2 mins, stirring occasionally, then add the coriander. Serve with the sticky ribs - and some napkins!

Tips:

  • Selecting the right ribs: Choose high-quality baby back ribs for a tender and flavorful result. Look for ribs with good marbling and a consistent thickness.
  • Preparing and trimming the ribs: Remove the membrane from the back of the ribs to ensure proper seasoning and cooking. Trim excess fat to reduce greasiness.
  • Creating the perfect marinade: The marinade is crucial for infusing flavor into the ribs. Use a blend of Jamaican jerk spices, brown sugar, soy sauce, and citrus juices. Allow the ribs to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Low and slow cooking: Cook the ribs slowly at a low temperature to achieve fall-off-the-bone tenderness. Maintain a consistent temperature throughout the cooking process to prevent overcooking or undercooking.
  • Glazing the ribs: Prepare a flavorful glaze using honey, brown sugar, and additional jerk spices. Apply the glaze towards the end of the cooking time to caramelize and add a glossy sheen to the ribs.
  • Making the pineapple salsa: Combine fresh pineapple, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeno peppers to create a refreshing and tangy salsa. Adjust the heat level by adding more or less jalapeno peppers.

Conclusion:

Jerk baby back ribs with pineapple salsa offer a delightful fusion of Caribbean and Latin flavors. By following these tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create a memorable and delicious meal. Remember to marinate the ribs for optimal flavor, cook them slowly at a low temperature, and serve them with a refreshing pineapple salsa. This dish is perfect for a backyard barbecue, potluck, or any occasion where you want to impress your friends and family with your culinary skills.
