Costillas Adobadas (Sticky Adobo-Marinated Pork Ribs)

Ingredients

• 1200 g pork spare ribs
• 2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 4 clove garlic cloves
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tsp sea salt

Method

1. 1

   Crush the garlic and mix with the smoked paprika, dried oregano, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and sea salt to make the adobo marinade.

2. 2

   Coat the ribs generously all over with the marinade. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for the best flavour.

3. 3

   Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan. Arrange the ribs in a single layer in a large roasting tin, cover tightly with foil, and roast for 45 minutes.

4. 4

   Remove the foil, increase the temperature to 220°C/200°C fan, and roast for a further 15 minutes until sticky, caramelised, and lightly charred at the edges.

5. 5

   Rest for 5 minutes, then cut into individual ribs and serve as a sharing plate with plenty of napkins.
