Something New for Baby Backs

Saw a recipe in the CEO's magazine Food & Wine. A Mexican version of Spiced Pork Ribs. It was fantastic. It went like this.

Have your Butcher cut a rack or two of Baby Back's right down the middle through all the bones. Take four cloves of garlic and crush them, 3 Tbsp of coriander seeds, 3 Tbsp of Cumin seeds, 1 Tsp crushed red pepper, 2 Tbsp of Kosher and 1.5 Tbsp fresh ground. Put in a mortar and crush them all together real good. Then take 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice and mix into a nice paste. Rub the ribs down well with the paste and put in a roasting pan and let sit for at least two hours or over night.

Let come to room temp, cover with foil and I set them in the Genny for an hour and a half at 350 till toothpick tender.

Pull out and sprinkle with Kosher and fresh ground and then directly on high burners for a browning sear on both sides

Cut em up, sprinkle with lime juice and Cilantro and serve.

I served them with Bush's Original dressed up with Jalapeno slices and a couple of scallions, the table with some good wine and some bread I happen to have lying around to soak up those Beans

Outstanding flavor and fun to eat cut like that, the CEO wants them for company soon.

Great find and cook Bill, just when you thought you had baby backs down there is a new way.
Probably to troublesome, but it would be nice to have a print recipe icon button on this forum, the forum member goes to add recipe? add's recipe and then we are able to print it out without copy and pasting.
 
Looks splendid Bill. Great way to present those ribs. The paste on the ribs sounds and looks delicious. Will definitely give that a try. Hope to get my WW Starter going this weekend. Been doing a lot of reading of both your notes and the Forkish book.
 
That's more work (cutting the ribs) than I would probably do for a home cook, but I agree with Bob H. above that for a party that would be a nice presentation. Thank you for sharing.
