Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra-virgin or virgin olive oil
  • 10 large cloves fresh garlic, room temperature, peeled, chopped, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion, peeled, very finely minced
  • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed orange juice, preferable bitter orange
  • 1 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 3 country-style ribs, boneless
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

For Mojo sauce:

Directions

In skillet over medium-high heat, add about 2 tablespoons olive oil. Once heated, add the garlic and onion, cook until pale golden brown; 2 to 3 minutes only, stirring constantly.

Stir in the citrus juices, 2/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and all dry ingredients. Bring sauce mixture to a rolling boil. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.

For Ribs:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Season the ribs with salt and pepper. Add enough oil to a hot large skillet to just cover. Add ribs and sear, about 3 minutes each side. Remove to a large shallow roasting pan.

Add Mojo sauce over the country style ribs and turn to cover. Seal tightly with foil and roast for 3 hours. Marinate each hour with Mojo sauce. Take foil off for the last 30 minutes of cooking, or until tender.

    This is a great recipe, however the amounts are incorrect as others have noted. I used about 2-3 Tb. olive oil, and 2 lbs of ribs, though you can use 3. I used a dutch oven, and as another said, brown the ribs first, remove and saute the garlic and onion, then add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil, place the ribs in and put it in the oven. I cooked for 2 hours, then added 2 c. of cubed butternut squash and 1 1/2 c. cubed sweet potato to the pot with a bit more water. Cooked for another hour. Delicious. Served to corn tortillas and rancho beans. This is a keeper.

    We cooked this in a slow cooker after browning. Turned out to be the best thing to ever come out of the crock pot. A definite "do again".

    I have a lot of picky eaters in my family over nearly every Sunday. I doubled the Mojo sauce and seared 14 ribs. I had to stack them on the side in the roaster to get them all in, and braised them wth the Mojo sauce for 1 1/2 hrs. I turned them every 20-25 minutes. They were tender, succulent and flavorful. No scowls or upturned noses, and everyone said they wanted this recipe again! Thanks, Daisy and Paula!
