Moroccan Spiced Pork Ribs

Moroccan Spiced Pork Ribs are a tantalizing fusion of tender meat and aromatic spices, offering a low-carb twist on traditional barbecue. These ribs are slow-cooked to perfection, glazed in a rich, spiced marinade that delivers an explosion of flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 500 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1 teaspoon
• Coriander - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon
• Turmeric - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F).
2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, coriander, cinnamon, turmeric, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
3. Rub the marinade evenly over the pork ribs, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator for deeper flavor.
4. Place the marinated ribs in a baking dish, cover with aluminum foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours.
5. After 2 hours, remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until the ribs are caramelized and tender.
6. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
