• Add a little oil to a cast iron pan, drain the port marinate and then place the pork ribs into the frying pan.
• Then brown all sides of the ribs but do not fully cook, then place the ribs on a plate.
• When the ribs are slightly cooler, make thin deep slices with a knife (on the meaty part of the ribs) and then place inside thin slivers of RAW garlic pieces.
• In the Crock Pot add ¼ cup marinate and then the ribs, turn over once to coat all the ribs.
• Then turn on your Crock Pot, cover, place on "High" setting and cook for about 3-4 hours; the heat and cooking time will vary depending on the model Crock Pot used.

• When the pork ribs are done cooking in the Crock Pot, then spoon some of the marinate from the Crock Pot on the ribs, sprinkle with a little salt to taste and then remove and place in the center of the string bean plate; Be careful not to let the pieces of pork fall apart, use a big spatula.
• Finally, add a little of the Mustard-Honey-Mayonnaise mixture on top of each of the Country Loin Pork Style Spareribs.
• Serve and enjoy!
• Notes:.
• #1-I made this basic recipe by completely cooking the pork spareribs in a cast iron pan (and with a Mojo Sauce) but the meat came out a little on the tough side. However, it was moist and better the second day (leftovers) when heated up in a microwave; see Photo #1 Mojo Sauce. So I then made this recipe again in a Crock Pot and it came out much better and to my liking; see Photo #2 Mustard-Honey-Mayonnaise Topping.
• #2- A reply to the 2 Star Reviewer, "Thank You for reviewing my recipe." I have now revised the wording a little to make this recipe clearer; Step #5- again use 1 piece of RAW garlic in a press (Not Roasted Garlic) and as an Alternative Option I had recommended using Harvey Bristol Cream which is a little sweeter then dry sherry, Step #11- It is common to place pieces (slivers) of RAW garlic in Puerto Rican Pernil Pork Roasts prior to cooking (that is where the idea came from) -- You are right the M-H-M might have masked the Mojo Garlic Flavor a little. To Quote a Zaar Chef "There is NO Right and NO Wrong with cooking" ... "Cooking is about personal tastes and flavors.".

ASIAN SPICE RUBBED RIBS WITH PINEAPPLE-GINGER BBQ SAUCE AND BLACK AND WHITE SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a heavy-bottomed medium saucepan. Add the garlic, ginger and onions and cook until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the pineapple chunks and habanero and cook for 1 minute. Add the pineapple juice and cook until it caramelizes slightly, about 3 minutes.

• Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper . Pour into a bowl and allow to cool to room temperature.
• For the ribs: Stir together the paprika, dry mustard, ground ginger, star anise, allspice, salt, pepper and Thai chile flakes in a bowl. Rub the ribs on the top side, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours.
• Preheat a charcoal grill with about 80 briquettes off to 1 side, or in a kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker with the ceramic plate removed. Remove the ribs from the refrigerator 1 hour before grilling.
• Combine 4 cups water, the soy sauce, ginger and garlic and divide between two heavy disposable pans.
• If using a charcoal grill: Put one disposable pan of steaming liquid on the bottom grate of the grill on the opposite side of the coals. Put the top grate on and heat well. Put the ribs on the grill, top-side down, directly over the hot coals and cook until golden brown and a crust has formed, about 10 minutes. Move the ribs to the other side of the grill, over the liquid, and place the other disposable pan with steaming liquid next to them over the coals. Put the lid of the grill on and open the vents on top halfway. Cook until the ribs are tender and juicy, about 2 hours. Add water as necessary to prevent scorching, and coals to keep the internal temperature between 225 and 250 degrees F.
• If using the kamado-style ceramic charcoal cooker: Remove the ceramic plate and heat the grill rack.

Add water as necessary to prevent scorching, and coals to keep the internal temperature between 225 and 250 degrees F.
• If using charcoal, finish the ribs by moving them back over the hot coals and turning and basting with sauce for 15 to 20 minutes. If using the ceramic charcoal cooker, leave the plate in and brush liberally with sauce for 15 to 20 minutes before removing from the grill.
• Combine the sesame seeds and sprinkle the tops of the ribs. Cut the ribs apart and put on a platter. Scatter the green onions over the top and serve.
