Jamaican Jerk Pork Ribs Food

JERK RIBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 300. Place the scallions, onions, garlic and peppers into a food processor with a pinch of salt, and pulse to mince.
• Add the spices, sugar and soy sauce, and blend for 15 to 20 seconds. Add the rum, and pulse to combine. Add water to thin the marinade, approximately 1/4 cup. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to use. (Covered tightly, the marinade will keep for a few days in the refrigerator.)
• Slide the handle of a wooden spoon, or the edge of a butter knife, below the membrane on the back of each rack of ribs, and then use your fingers to grab it and pull it off. Season the ribs aggressively with salt and pepper.
• Place each rack of ribs on a large sheet of aluminum foil, and slather with the jerk marinade. Wrap the ribs tightly in the foil, and place on a sheet pan in the oven for 90 minutes.
• Remove the sheet pan from the oven, carefully unwrap the ribs and anoint again with the jerk marinade. Return the ribs, uncovered, to the oven, and continue roasting for an additional 90 minutes, or until the meat is crusty and has just begun to pull back from the bone. Remove ribs from oven, allow to rest 5 minutes, then slice into individual ribs and serve on a warmed platter.

JERK PORK SPARERIBS

Steps:

• Combine the ketchup, soy sauce, barbecue sauce, rosemary, sugar, paprika, cloves, allspice, garlic, habaneros, cilantro, some black pepper and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl. Add the spareribs, turning to coat. If time permits, cover and marinate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Transfer the ribs to a baking sheet and bake for 1 hour 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
• Combine all spices in a small bowl.
• Coat the ribs lightly in oil and then season them well with spice rub on all sides; reserve 1 tbsp spice blend for the vinaigrette. Place in a Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid or on a rimmed baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil.
• Bake at 250 degrees F turning every 90 minutes or baking and baste with pan juices, if necessary. About 3-hours total.
• Once the ribs are tender, you can move them under to the broiler to char the spices, if you chose. Broil for 5-10 minutes or until the spices start to char. They can char fast so be sure to man the oven during the broiling process.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vinaigrette and set aside. Pour over the meat as desired.

STICKY JERK & BROWN SUGAR RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE RICE

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!
