Cocoa Spiced Pork Ribs

 

Cooking is so much fun. You can use a wide array of ingredients. If you are creative enough, you will never run out of ideas as to what to prepare.

Here’s a delicious recipe for meat lovers. The chocolate and the chili infuse a lot of flavor to the pork, making it more irresistible. If you aren’t fond of spicy food, you can replace the chili powder with a dash of paprika. You can do without the chili flakes as well. Nevertheless it will still taste incredibly delicious.

 

Ingredients:

2 lbs. pork spare ribs

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 tablespoon Ancho chili powder

1/2 teaspoon five spice powder

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons olive oil or spray oil

chili flakes

dried parsley

 

Preheat the oven at 400F.

In a bowl, combine the cocoa powder, chili powder, ginger powder, garlic powder and salt. Mix it until all the spices blend together.

Place the ribs in a re-sealable bag. Pour in the cocoa spice mixture. Seal the bag and shake it until the ribs are coated with the spice rub.

Line a baking tray with parchment paper or foil. Shake off the excess rub and Place the ribs on the lined tray. Drizzle the ribs with olive oil or spray it with oil to seal the flavor. Sprinkle it with dried parsley and chili flakes. Bake it for 1 hour or until the meat is starts breaking off from the bone. Serve immediately.
