This Grilled BBQ Pork Rib Recipe is a mix of
different influences - a bit of Mexican flair
with jalapenos and lime, combined with a bit of
Thai flavor with the addition of peanuts and
garlic. By using a marinade that's more of a
paste in consistency, it both infuses the ribs
with delicious flavor, and also really sticks
to the meat.
With the marinade's sophisticated flavor, a
lighter bodied red is best, while one that also
has a good core of acidity will counterbalance
the richness of the ribs. Beaujolais is an
ideal choice, with a sunny freshness that we
love with Summer grilled foods. For our
splurge, we choose a Cru Beaujolais from the
Juliénas village, while our steal is a blend
from different villages.
