JERK PORK JAMAICAN RIBS

Steps:

• Using gloves, cut the tops off the Scotch bonnet peppers and put in a food processor. Do not handle without gloves. Place all other ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Scrape inside of processor to get all of the rub mix and pour into a small bowl.
• Clean the ribs up by removing the back membrane then with gloves, rub jerk sauce all over ribs. Wrap the ribs back up in the butcher's paper (it has a great wax interior side to keep juices from dripping out), and seal with aluminum foil or in a re-sealable plastic bag. Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours or up to 24 hours.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK RIBS

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.

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.

JAMAICAN JERK PORK

Steps:

• Using the tip of a paring knife, make holes 1/4 inch deep all over each pork tenderloin. Place the tenderloins in a large nonreactive baking dish and set aside while you prepare the seasoning.
• Combine the Scotch bonnets, scallions, onion, ginger, and garlic in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the thyme, allspice, pepper, nutmeg, cinnamon, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, brown sugar, and the 2 TBSP's of oil and process to a smooth puree. Or puree all of these ingredients in a blender.
• Using a rubber spatula, spread the seasoning mixture over the tenderloins, stuffing it into the holes . Let the tenderloins marinate in the refrigerator, covered for a least 4 hours, or as long as overnight, turning the meat several times. The best way to marinate this is to place half the rub and the tenderloin in a ziploc bag.
• Set up the grill for direct grilling. If using a gas grill, place the wood chips in a smoker box and preheat the grill to high; when the smoke appears, lower the heat to medium.
• If using a charcoal grill, preheat it to medium.
• When ready to cook, if using a charcoal grill, toss the wood chips on the coals. Brush and oil the grill grate. Arrange the pork tenderloins on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs and brushing occasionally with oil, until nicely browned on both sides and cooked through, 8 - 10 minutes a side. When not turning the meat, keep the grill covered to hold in the smoke.
• Alternatively, you can also use a spit and cook the tenderloins on a rotisserie. I bought a whole tenderloin and cut it into 2 lbs pieces. I then basted the pork with the extra marinade throughout cooking. Cook to an internal temperature of 130F - 135F or until desired done-ness and remove from grill. It will continue to raise in temperature to 140-145F as it rests under tinfoil.
• Transfer the pork to a cutting board cover with tinfoil and let rest for 5 minutes. Cut it into thin diagonal slices and serve with your choice of sides. Makes FANTASTIC sandwiches the next day.

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!

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.
