Ingredients
Pineapple Relish:
Method
Remove membrane from underside of ribs, if attached.Combine thyme, garlic powder, coriander, salt, cayenne pepper, black pepper, ginger, allspice and nutmeg. Rub all over ribs. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)
Place ribs, bone side down, in roasting pan; tent with foil. Roast in 350ºF (180ºC) oven until meat is fork-tender, about 2 hours. Brush tops with pan drippings. Broil until browned, about 3 minutes.
Pineapple Relish: Meanwhile, in saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté onion, garlic and ginger until softened, about 3 minutes. Add pineapple, jalapeño pepper, vinegar, salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.
Combine cornstarch with 2 tbsp water; stir into pineapple mixture and boil, stirring constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Stir in green onion. Let cool. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.) Serve with ribs.
