Pork Ribs And Roast With Mojo Food

MOJO MARINATED PORK

Steps:

• Combine 4 cups of the orange juice and 1 cup of the lime juice and zest in a large saucepan over high heat and reduce to 2 cups. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining orange juice and lime juice add a few cloves of garlic and 1/4 cup of the oregano. Let cool to room temperature.
• Using a paring knife, make small slits over the entire surface of the pork and rub the garlic into the slashes. Whisk together the oil and remaining 1/4 cup of the oregano in a large roasting pan, add the pork and turn to coat, cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the pork from the refrigerator 30 minutes before roasting. Season the pork with salt and pepper and cook for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and continue roasting, basting with the marinade during the last 30 minutes of roasting until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reaches 150 degrees F. Remove from the oven, baste with any remaining glaze, tent loosely and let rest 15 minutes before slicing.
• Serve the pork with the Mojo Dipping Sauce and the Plantains with Rum and Brown Sugar.
• Using a mortar and pestle, mash the garlic, serrano, cilantro and a few pinches of salt until it becomes a paste. Add the orange juice, lime juice and oil and stir to combine.
• Heat butter in a large saute pan over high heat. Add the sugar and cook until melted. Add the plantains and cook until soft and heated through. Remove pan from the heat, add the rum, return to the heat and cook until the alcohol has reduced.

PORK RIBS AND ROAST WITH MOJO

Steps:

• Toast both the 1 tablespoon and the 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds (see Mojo) in a small saute pan over high heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Grind the seeds in a spice grinder or with a mortar and pestle and reserve 1/2 teaspoon for the Mojo. Mix remaining cumin with garlic, lime juice, olive oil, salt, oregano, and black pepper. Remove the pork loin from the ribs and chine bone by cutting between the meat and the bones. Rub the marinade all over loin and ribs. Place the loin back onto the ribs where it was removed and tie together with butcher's twine. Place in a nonreactive container, cover, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
• Meanwhile, make the Mojo and reserve 3/4 cup to serve with the pork.
• Prepare an outdoor grill with a medium-high fire for indirect grilling. Position a drip pan under grate on the cooler side of the grill. Set the roast rib side down over the pan on the side opposite from the heat. Cover, with the vent holes over the pork and cook, basting the meat periodically with the sauce. Rotate the roast 180 degrees after 30 minutes so it cooks evenly. (Add coals to the fire as needed to maintain an even heat.) After an hour, begin to baste with Mojo every 15 minutes and set the roast on its chine (back) bone, with the fat facing the heat, so it browns evenly. Cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the center of the loin registers 140 degrees F, about 1 1/2 hours in all.
• Remove the roast from grill, cut the twine, and let the loin rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, place the ribs on the grill over direct heat with the side where the loin was attached facing down. Grill, turning as needed, until evenly browned, about 4 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes and cut between the ribs. Serve ribs with sliced loin and reserved Mojo.
• Heat the reserved cumin in a skillet along with the garlic and olive oil. Cook over medium-high heat until garlic begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a nonreactive bowl, and stir in remaining ingredients.

DAISY'S MOJO RIBS

• Stir in the citrus juices, 2/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and all dry ingredients. Bring sauce mixture to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to a hot large skillet to just cover. Add ribs and sear, about 3 minutes each side. Remove to a large shallow roasting pan.
• Add Mojo sauce over the country style ribs and turn to cover. Seal tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours. Marinate each hour with Mojo sauce. Take foil off for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or until tender.

SMOKED RIBS | RAZORBACK STYLE WITH MOJO

Steps:

• Obtaining Smoked Rib MOJO:
• Start by building a fire in the lower compartment of your smoker. See below if you only have a regular charcoal grill. I use charcoal to build the initial fire.
• While you are waiting on the coals to grey, you can prepare the smoked ribs by coating them them mustard on both sides. Use a lot. This will be messy so do it near the kitchen sink. Don't worry about ruining your barbequed ribs because the mustard will cook off during the process. Use a large cookie sheet to prepare them on. Next, sprinkle the ribs with whatever rub you like. If you do not have a rib rub, then just use your favorite combination of spices. Set aside or refrigerate if your fire is going to be a while. There is a myth that you need to peel away the fatty film from the underside of the rack of ribs but I don't see the point of this as there isn't any meat on that side.
• Make sure that you have the necessary wood for good smoked ribs. It takes several hours for the ribs to smoke so you may need several pieces of wood. I prefer the natural kind, but you can buy wood chunks at most grocery stores if you do not have access to wood.
• .if you are using a normal charcoal grill : Build your fire to one far side of the grill and cut it off from the rest of the grill with a stack of bricks or foil.
• Remember we are not wanting to cook the ribs yet, but rather smoke them. So, try to rig it so that as little heat gets to the meat as possible (the meat is going to go on the other side of the grill; as far as possible from the flame). I use a stack of bricks to separate the fire from the meat. I have the bricks with the holes in them so it works well to let the smoke through without so much heat. I then rig a double-piece of aluminum to use above the rack level to cut off the heat from the fire section to the meat section.
• Okay, slap those ribs on the racks and feed the fire some of those twigs or sticks. Close most air valves in your smoker. leaving only a crack. just enough to keep the fire alive (ideally only as smoke). Obviously, keep the lid down. Let those smoke for about 3 to 6 hours, depending on how much meat you have on. Add wood as necessary and turn ribs half way through. If you have multiple levels of racks then it helps to switch the slabs from one to the other so you get an even smoke distribution.
• Remember, try to NOT let the ribs cook. They may brown a bit but we don't want them bone-dry. Shield them with foil if necessary.
• Next step: bring inside and allow to cool. Double wrap each whole slab in foil. Refrigerate overnight to allow the smoke to set into the meat.
• ______________________________________________.
• Cooking Instructions: Leave smoked rib racks in foil. Eash rack should be wrapped individually. Put on cookie sheet or in large pan. Put in oven at 255 degrees. Again, do NOT remove foil or else you will ruin it. You can also use a slow cooker on low if you prefer. Cook the smoked ribs for 6 to 8 hours. Heat up your favorite bbq sauce in a small pan shortly before you plan on eating the ribs. I spice my sauce up with some warmed barbeque sauce .
• Enjoy your Razorback Smoked Ribs !

• Uncover the pork and turn the oven to broil. Return the pork to the oven and broil until the skin puffs and is golden brown and crisp, 10-15 minutes. Transfer the pork to a cutting board and let rest for 20 minutes.
