Argentinean-Style Ribs with Homemade Chimichurri image

Argentinean preparation is simple but is all about the cooking technique. These ribs cook better on a rotisserie as they self-baste for maximum flavor and juiciness. If you're going to cook this recipe on a grill, add some charcoal or hardwood to add more flavor to the ribs. If you do not have a rotisserie set-up, you can simply cook these directly on the grill. Allow the chimichurri to rest at least 2 hours before serving - this will allow time for the flavors to marry together. The chimichurri is a delicious spread that adds a zest to any Argentinian style dish, and this makes a great topping for the slow roasted ribs. This can also be a great topping for grilled chicken breast, lamb or fish.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 tablespoons chopped basil
2 tablespoons chopped oregano
1/4 cup chopped white onion
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons diced red bell pepper
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds baby back pork ribs
6 tablespoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chimichurri: Add the parsley, basil, oregano, onion, garlic, bell pepper, lime zest, oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to a food processor. Pulse together till your desired texture is reached. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
  • For the ribs: Set up a grill with charcoal. Once the coals are white-hot, place some smoked hardwood on top of the coals to create some smoke.
  • Sprinkle the ribs liberally with the salt and pepper on both sides. If using a rotisserie, thread the ribs on spit/skewers so they are stacked up and threaded neatly.
  • Once the fire has settled, place the ribs over the fire and turn on the rotisserie. Cook for 1 to 2 hours until desired doneness and the ribs have an internal temp of 190 degrees F. Serve immediately off the rotisserie with the chimichurri sauce.
