The rum in the following recipe adds a Caribbean dimension to a satisfying meal. Ingredients
1 rack of pork rib cut in blocks of 3; 1/4 cup of rum; 2 cloves garlic; 1 jalopeno; 1 lime juiced; 1 tablespoon of olive oil; 1 teaspoon salt; 1 teaspoon black pepper; PreparationSeed the jalopeno. Place it in food processor with rum, garlic, oil, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mix becomes a smooth creamy paste. Rub ribs with the paste, seal in a ziploc bag, and let them marinate for at least 12 hours. Grill for 16 minutes over high fire, turning frequently (ie, every 2 minutes). You may spike the recipe by adding a side of aji verde. It's very easy to make: in a food processor blend 3-4 aji peppers (use 2 seeded jalopenos or other hot peppers if you cannot find aji); 2 cloves garlic; 1/4 cup chopped cilantro; 1 table spoon salt; 1-2 limes juiced; 3-5 tablespoons olive oil. Blend well, until it becomes a creamy paste. Use it as a dip for the ribs. Have Brights or other coolants nearby! |
