Barbecued Pork Ribs with Spinach & Caper "Salsa Verde"

Ingredients

Pork Ribs

  • 1 rack pork ribs, halved
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1½ cups (375 mL) mild barbecue sauce

Salsa Verde

  • 1 clove garlic
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1½ cups (375 mL) fresh spinach, firmly packed
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) capers
  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) caper juice
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) liquid honey
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

Pork Ribs

Fill a large pot with water, salt generously and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to medium-high heat, add pork ribs and let cook for 45 minutes.

Remove from water, pat dry with paper towel, season with salt and pepper and brush with barbecue sauce until well-coated. Grill on barbecue, applying more barbecue sauce and flipping over regularly until both sides are caramelized, about 15 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest for several minutes before portioning to serve.

Salsa Verde

Place all ingredients except for the olive oil in a food processor or blender and purée until a paste forms.

Continue to puree while slowly adding in the olive oil until the consistency is very smooth.

Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to a container and keep in the fridge to use as desired. Will keep in the fridge for several days.

Yield: 2-3 (Makes about 1½ cups salsa verde)
