Country-style spare ribs in mojo sauce

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 3 pieces of boneless country-style pork ribs
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup peeled and very finely chopped onion
  • 1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 tsp ground cumin
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 10 large cloves of fresh garlic, peeled and sliced, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation:

  1. For the Moyo sauce: Place a skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.

    Add citrus juices, 2/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and all dry ingredients. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  2. For the ribs: Preheat oven to 160°C.

    Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Pour enough oil into a large, hot skillet to come level with the ribs. Sear the ribs for about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer to a large baking pan.

    Pour the mojo sauce over the country-style ribs and stir until completely coated. Cover tightly and simmer for 3 hours, basting with mojo sauce every hour. Uncover 30 minutes before the end of cooking and let the meat cook until tender.
