SUNNY'S ORANGE JALAPEñO PARTY RIBS



Sunny's Orange Jalapeño Party Ribs image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 5h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup orange marmalade
1/2 cup chopped white onion
1/4 cup brown sugar, light or dark
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 jalapeños, one seeded, both finely chopped
1 clove garlic, grated on a rasp
Zest of 1 orange (if using fresh orange juice)
Kosher salt and freshly ground coarse black pepper
1 cup orange juice (preferably fresh)
3 to 4 pounds baby back pork ribs, sliver skin removed
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 orange, sliced into wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Add the marmalade, onions, brown sugar, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, jalapeños, garlic, orange zest, a pinch of salt and plenty of coarse ground black pepper to a medium pot on medium-high. Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced and thickened. Remove from the heat and divide as follows: for the basting liquid, pour 1/4th of the sauce into a medium bowl and whisk in the orange juice. Pour the remaining sauce into a medium bowl to use as the glazing liquid.
  • For the ribs: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Sprinkle the ribs generously on all sides with salt and pepper and place on a rimmed baking sheet, bone-side down. Brush lightly all over with the basting liquid. Pour all the remaining basting liquid into the bottom of the baking sheet and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Cook 3 to 5 hours, basting with the liquid every hour and re-covering tightly each time. After 3 hours, begin checking the ribs for doneness by gently pulling at the middle bone to see if it will release easily from the meat. The ribs are also done with about a 1/2-inch of the bone showing on the ends, or a pull at the middle bone feels like it will release the meat.
  • Once the ribs are cooked remove the aluminum foil and brush the ribs with the reserved sauce. Adjust the rack to the bottom of the oven, turn the broiler on high and cook the ribs until the glaze caramelizes, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven onto a cutting board, tent with aluminum foil and let rest for 10 minutes. Cut into 1- or 2-bone slices and serve with orange wedges.

ORANGE AND SOY-GLAZED BABY BACK RIBS

Categories     Pork     Soy     Broil     Dinner     Orange     Meat     Pork Rib     Family Reunion     Potluck     Soy Sauce     Boil     Bon Appétit     Dairy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free

Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs, cut between bones into individual ribs (18-20 ribs)
1 cup soy sauce, divided
9 garlic cloves, minced, divided
5 teaspoons cumin seeds, divided
3 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes, divided
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
6 scallions (white and light-green parts separated from dark-green parts), finely chopped
1 1/2 cups fresh orange juice plus zest from 1 orange
3 tablespoons honey
Zest from 1 lemon and 1 lime

Steps:

  • Place ribs, 1/2 cup soy sauce, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons cumin seeds, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a large pot; add water to cover completely. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover with lid ajar; cook until ribs are tender, about 2 hours. Drain ribs; set aside for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; add remaining 3 teaspoons cumin seeds and 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes. Toast lightly until fragrant, about 30 seconds; add remaining 6 minced garlic cloves and white and pale-green scallions. Sauté until just soft, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/2 cup soy sauce, orange juice, and honey. Bring to a boil and cook until sauce is thick, 12-15 minutes.
  • Preheat broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Place ribs on prepared sheet; brush with sauce. Broil until sauce bubbles, 2-3 minutes. Turn, brush with additional sauce, and broil until ribs are heated through and sauce is bubbling, 2-3 minutes longer. Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with remaining sauce. Sprinkle dark-green scallions and citrus zest over.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ribs: Baby back ribs are the most popular choice for this recipe, but you can also use spare ribs. If you're using baby back ribs, you'll need about 2 racks. If you're using spare ribs, you'll need about 1 rack.
  • Make sure the ribs are well-trimmed: Remove any excess fat or silver skin from the ribs before you cook them. This will help the ribs cook evenly and will prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Use a good quality marinade: The marinade is what will give the ribs their flavor, so it's important to use a good one. The recipe in the article includes a delicious orange maple marinade that's sure to please everyone.
  • Cook the ribs slowly and low: The best way to cook ribs is to cook them slowly and low. This will help the ribs to become tender and fall off the bone.
  • Use a smoker or grill: You can cook ribs in a smoker or on a grill. If you're using a smoker, cook the ribs at 225 degrees Fahrenheit for about 4 hours. If you're using a grill, cook the ribs over indirect heat at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for about 2 hours.
  • Baste the ribs regularly: Basting the ribs with the marinade or a mixture of orange juice and maple syrup will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
  • Let the ribs rest before serving: Once the ribs are cooked, let them rest for about 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the ribs.

Conclusion:

Orange maple pork ribs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether you're hosting a party or just looking for a weeknight meal, these ribs are sure to be a hit. So fire up your smoker or grill and get cooking!
