The ingredient list for Toni Tipton Martin’s Jamaican Jerk Ribs with Pineapple-Mango Salsa is long, but you’ll be rewarded with a flavor-packed dish that perfectly marries spicy and sweet.
The recipe, inspired by Kelis (yes, the one of “Milkshake” fame), doubles up on the jerk flavoring. First, a dry rub is applied to the ribs before baking, then a Scotch bonnet-infused jerk sauce coats the ribs during the final cook for a nice glaze.
The sweet heat and meatiness of the ribs are tempered by the cool, refreshing pineapple-mango salsa flavored with lime juice, onion, garlic, and cilantro.
My mouth is watering just thinking about these beauties!
