BABY BACK RIBS WITH PAPAYA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the garlic, papaya, water, wine, honey, and tomato paste into a food processor. Pulse until until the mixture is finely chopped, about 15 seconds.
• Place the ribs into a 9x13-inch glass baking dish and pour the marinade overtop. Mix the ribs around in the marinade to ensure they are evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight for best results.
• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Remove ribs from the marinade, and shake off excess. Scrape the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside.
• Bake the ribs in the preheated oven until the meat pulls away easily from the bone, about 1 1/2 hours. Baste every 15 minutes with the reserved marinade.

GRILLED JERK CHICKEN WITH PAPAYA SALSA

Steps:

• MAKE MARINADE
• Blend all marinade ingredients in a blender until smooth.
• MARINATE AND GRILL CHICKEN
• Divide the chicken pieces and marinade in 2 sealable plastic bags. Seal the bags, pressing out excess air, then turn bags over several times to distribute marinade. Put bags of chicken in a shallow pan and marinate, chilled, turning once or twice, for 1 day.
• Let chicken stand at room temperature 1 hour before cooking.
• COOK CHICKEN USING CHARCOAL GRILL
• Open the vents on the bottom of the grill and on the lid. Light a large chimney of charcoal briquettes (about 100) and pour them evenly over one side of a bottom rack (you will have a double or triple layer of charcoal).
• When the charcoal turns grayish white and you can hold your hand 5 inches above the rack for 3 to 4 seconds, sear the chicken in batches on a lightly oiled rack over the coals until well browned on all sides, about 3 minutes per batch. Move the chicken as seared to the side of the grill with no coals underneath, then cook, covered with the lid, until cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the chicken with the papaya salsa.
• COOK CHICKEN USING GAS GRILL
• Preheat the burners on high, then adjust heat to moderate. Cook chicken until well browned on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes. Adjust the heat to low and cook chicken, covered with lid, until cooked through, about 25 minutes more.
• Serve the chicken with papaya salsa.
• COOK CHICKEN USING AN OVEN
• If you can't grill, you can roast the chicken in two large shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pans in the upper and lower thirds of a 400°F oven, switching the position of the pans halfway through the roasting, 40 to 45 minutes total.
