Jerk Pork Jamaican Ribs Recipes

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.

JAMAICAN JERK RIBS

Steps:

• Remove silver from the backs of ribs. I use pliers to get a grip on one corner and pull hard to remove.
• Place ribs in a pyrex or other nonreactive roasting pan.
• Pour rum over ribs, turning a few times to coat evenly.
• Cover and place in fridge, turning once every hour for 4 hours total.
• Meanwhile combine all the spices in a blender or small food processor and pulse until you have a fine powder.
• Divide jerk spice blend.
• Drain ribs and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Take one batch of jerk spice blend and rub into rib racks-both sides.
• Wrap with plastic wrap and return to fridge for 1 hour.
• WASH YOUR HANDS WELL.
• Prepare grill for indirect grilling-use a drip pan if you don't want a huge greasy mess to clean up.
• Heat to medium, medium hot.
• Add chips and place ribs on hot grates over drip pan.
• Close lid and allow to smoke for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Allow for 15 minutes either way, depending on the size of each rack.
• When done remove racks to a platter.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the remaining jerk spice blend on ribs, offering the remaining half at the table for true heat seakers.
