Exotic Spice Grilled Ribs

• Marinade:
• 3 racks of Baby Back ribs, excess fat trimmed
• 1/2-1 med Jalapeno, to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped parsley
• 1 lime, Juice and zest
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 3-4 cloves of garlic
• 2 tsp quality curry powder
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon blk peppercorns
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• Raita:
• 2 cups lowfat or nonfat greek yogurt
• 1 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded and finely diced
• juice of 1/2 lime
• 1/4 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp of fine chopped parsley

1. Prep all 3 ribs to your preference - some like to remove the membrane on the bone side. Pat ribs dry with paper towel.
2. Combine all marinade ingredients together in a processor or blender until evenly mixed and a paste-like consistency. Pour paste into a large casserole dish and massage into ribs until well coated. Cover dish with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator 4-24 hrs.
3. Remove ribs one hour before grilling and bring to room temp. Preheat gas grill on its hottest setting. Remove ribs from marinade and shake off excess - don-t wipe off marinade from surface as you want some to form a crust on the meat - ribs should be coated enough to look green.
4. Lay ribs meaty side down on rocket-hot grill. Should have just enough room to lay 3 racks side by side. Do not cover the grill and allow ribs to sizzle for about 2 mins - should not flare up yet as fat has not had time to render. Once meat side has golden grill marks, turn grill to low setting (may need to turn off extra burners) to maintain a temp of about 300d when lid is closed. flip ribs to bone side and let roast with lid for about 1 - 1.5 hrs. Check occasionally so that underside does not char. Ribs are done when meat side is firm to touch and has pulled up on the bones. Bones should jiggle freely a little. Take ribs off grill to rest for 20 mins and make Raita.
5. Mix all Raita ingredients in a bowl and stir until evenly combined.
6. When rested, slice ribs between bones and serve with cooling Raita on side for dipping.
