Another recipe that I want to feature here is one of my favorite recipe to grill most of the time. I love pork ribs specially when it is roasted and spicy. It's a little bit time consuming but definitely worth the wait! I'm a charcoal grill user so I make sure that I have the right amount of heat so the meat will be cooked right with a very strong smokey flavor. This recipe is also good to served with a couple of mixed vegetables like beans, potato or corn. Check the recipe below and enjoy grilling!
INGREDIENTS:
1 or 2 Slabs of pork ribs
1/4 cup Soy sauce
1/4 cup Tomato paste
2 tbsp Minced garlic
1 Small finely minced onion
2 tbsp Sugar
1/4 cup Citrus juice or Calamondin (Calamansi, lemon or lime as an alternative.)
Salt and pepper
Barbeque sauce
Hot sauce (depends on how spicy you want it)
Olive oil (for basting)
PROCEDURE:
1. Prepare the marinade first by mixing all the ingredients such as garlic, calamansi, salt, pepper, soy sauce, tomato paste, onion, barbeque sauce, etc.
2. Put the slabs of pork in a vacuum sealer bag or a container and pour over the marinade. Close the sealed bag and massage the marinade all ove the pork ribs.
3. Let it sit in a refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight before cooking.
4. Prepare the grill and heat it up for around 10-15 minutes. Make sure that you have the right amount of heat to cook the meat.
5. Sear the pork for about 3-5 minutes per side.
6. Move the meat to the side so it won't be over the flame. When using charcoal grills, push the coals to one side and put the ribs on the other side. You can adjust the lid or flame so that when the cover of your grill is down, the temperature still stays between 250°F/120°C and 275°F/135°C. It is also advisable fi your grill has an oven thermometer feature.
7. Turn the meat about 25-30 minutes or until the meat is done. Baste it with an olive oil to keep it moist.
8. Serve it with sauted carrots, corn and green peas in butter and some mashed potatoes or beans.
