Another hot day how
lucky can we get? It’s also a good day to make another Caribbean dinner.
My choice are ribs of
course.
It is too hot to put a
lot of effort into sauces and flavoring so I needed to find something that
would cover those bases with as little work as possible.
I did some research and
found out that the spices in the Dollar Tree Jamaican Jerk Seasonings were
pretty much what was needed for flavoring the ribs I wanted to make on the
grill today.
All I needed to do was
add a little bit of lime zest.
Perfect! I could handle
that.
So I flavored the ribs
and put them on the grill.
The ribs I had were very
thick so I needed an hour to grill them.
After they were cooked I
basted them with some Boss Sauce. For those not from Rochester Boss Sauce is vinegar
based BBQ sauce usually associated with chicken but great on everything else
you want to BBQ.
I took them off the
grill after letting the sauce cook on them for another fifteen minutes.
I did put them away but
wanted to taste them first.
I loved the spicy and
different flavor of these ribs and the sauce was just the perfect touch.
I cannot wait for dinner
tonight!
I think a little
broccoli with lime zest will be the perfect side dish with these ribs. If you
get ambitious some rice would be nice too.
I believe this will be
an enjoyable treat to your pallet and it is to mine.
Enjoy the hot weather
and your dinner!
Here are the
ingredients:
Ingredients:
Pork ribs ( I made three
so I could make pulled pork for later in the week)
Jamaican Jerk Spice
Lime zest ( I used lime
because I had it on hand but any citrus fruit will do)
BBQ Sauce (My choice is
Boss Sauce but use the sauce you like)
Caribbean BBQ Ribs
Directions:
1.
Rub the ribs with the
seasonings and lime zest
2.
Grill for 35 to 60
minutes depending on the thickness of the ribs.
3.
Check to be sure that
the ribs are just slightly pink inside.
4.
Base the ribs with BBQ
sauce.
5.
Grill another 15 minutes
until the ribs are done.
Spicy Sweet Potatoes
I will admit I use frozen sweet potatoes that I get a couple times of year.
I like the Bob Evens sweet potatoes.
That being said this is what I add to make these sweet potatoes.
(This works with canned and fresh only with fresh make sure you add the brown sugar)
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sweet potatoes
1 tablespoon Cilantro
1 teaspoon lime zest.
Directions:
Combine and heat in the microwave.
That is all there is too
it and it will taste as if you have been cooking for hours!
