Ingredients

• Pork ribs - 600 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Paprika - 2 teaspoons
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Honey - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine minced garlic, paprika, cumin, oregano, olive oil, honey, soy sauce, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice to create a marinade.
2. Place the pork ribs in a large resealable plastic bag or a dish, and pour the marinade over the ribs, ensuring they are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

6. Once cooked, remove the ribs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
