Costillas de Cerdo (Oven Baked Ribs)
Costillas de Cerdo(Oven baked ribs)
Ribs are very popular in South American cuisine. They are always marinated with some type of citrus and a chili pepper. The particular marinade I used contains aji panca pepper paste, which tastes similar to chipotle peppers in adobo, and orange juice. These ribs need to marinate for at least 24 hours to get full flavor. I let mine sit in the marinade for 2 days.
Ingredients
- 3-4 lb rack of spareribs
- 6 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 4 green onion
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp aji panca paste
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
Mango Aj Panca Glaze
- 1 tbsp aji panca paste
- 1/2 cup mango juice
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients in a food processor or blender.
- Purée until smooth.
- Marinate the ribs for at least 24 hours. I did mine for 48.
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Place the ribs on a roasting pan lined in foil. Completely wrap up the ribs in the foil, allowing the ribs to steam.
- Bake the ribs for 2 1/2 hours.
- Unwrap the ribs from the foil. Turn on your broiler. Broil the ribs for 8 minutes.
- Turn the oven back to 300 degrees. Mix together the aji panca and mango juice. Brush on a layer of the glaze. Bake for 10 minutes. Do this step 2 more times so you can get 3 layers of the glaze on the ribs.
- Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting.
