Rib Kickin' Ribs
- 4 pork rib racks (about 4 pounds)
- 2 limes, juice of
- 4 tablespoons maple syrup
- 2 habanero peppers, dried (or 6TB powder)
- 2 chipotle chiles, dried
- 15 bird's eye dried chilies (or Tepins)
- 3 tablespoons instant chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Italian herb seasoning
- 1 tablespoon cumin, ground
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- In a coffee/spice grinder, mix the Cayenne, Chipotles, Bird's Eyes, chicken broth powder, cumin, mustard seeds, and sea salt until you have a fine powder.
- In a seperate bowl, mix the powder with the juice from the limes and the maple syrup.
- It should be a fairly thick paste.
- If not, add more of your favorite powdered ingredient.
- Rub the paste on the ribs and marinate for two days in the fridge, tightly wrapped with saran wrap, or in a glass bowl, tightly covered.
- Flip them occasionally.
- On the day of cooking, preheat oven to 175F, remove ribs from saran wrap.
- Place each rack in the middle of a piece of parchment paper and seal it by bringing both ends together above the rack and rolling them tightly down until you have a well sealed package.
- Do the same again but with aluminum foil.
- Make sure you wrap them as tight as possible.
- Place them in a large casserole, covered with aluminum foil, or in a dutch oven, tightly covered.
- The idea is to cook them slowly and seal the juices inches Cook them in the oven for about 5 hours, or until the meat is tender.
- Cooking time will vary greatly depending on the ribs, your oven, and how tightly they are wrapped.
- I recommend checking them every hour.
- It is difficult to burn them at 175
- When they are finished, remove the foil and saran wrap and smear each rack with maple syrup and then put them under the broiler until they have a nice crispy crust, be careful not to burn them!
- Serve warm.
