Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

16 pork spareribs
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 green Thai chilies or other small hot chilies, roughly chopped
1 2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peanut oil
4 tablespoons molasses
2 star anise
1 cinnamon stick, broken into shards
1 onion, peeled and cut into eighths
1/2 cup canned pineapple juice

Steps:

  • Place ribs in a large plastic bag and set aside. In a bowl, combine lime zest and juice, soy sauce, chilies, ginger, oil and 2 tablespoons molasses. Add star anise, cinnamon, onion and pineapple juice, and stir to mix well. Add contents of bowl to bag, seal bag well, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove ribs from refrigerator, and pour contents of bag, including marinade, into a roasting pan. Allow ribs to come to room temperature. Cover pan tightly with foil, place in oven, and bake for 1 hour, turning ribs once halfway through cooking. Remove pan from oven (leave oven on), discard foil, and carefully spoon only the liquid from pan into a saucepan. Return pan to oven, and continue to bake ribs uncovered.
  • Add remaining 2 tablespoons molasses to saucepan, and place over medium heat. Cook until mixture is foamy and syrupy, about 10 minutes.
  • Remove ribs from oven, and pour sauce over them, turning ribs until they are well coated. Transfer to a large platter, and serve.

I would not recommend this recipe. The ribs were tough and the sauce was bland.

These ribs were a bit dry, but the sauce was very good.

I found that the ribs took longer to cook than the recipe stated. However, they were still delicious.

These pineapple and molasses spareribs were a hit with my family! The meat was fall-off-the-bone tender and the sauce was sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this recipe again.
