1/2 cup chopped onion, 1 medium
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon ground red chiles
6 dried juniper berries, crushed
3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 ounce baking chocolate, grated
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
6 ounces tomato paste
2 tablespoons sugar
3 pounds fresh pork back ribs, see notes
Servings: 6
1. Cook and stir onion in oil in 2-quart saucepan 2 minutes. Stir in ground red chiles, juniper berries, garlic and salt. Cover and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chocolate until melted. Pour water, vinegar and tomato paste into food processor workbowl fitted with steel blade or into a blender container. Add onion mixture and sugar; cover and process until well blended.
2. Heat oven to 375 Degrees F. Cut between pork back ribs to separate. Place in a single layer in roasting pan, pour sauce evenly over pork. Bake uncovered 30 minutes; turn pork. Bake until done, about 30 minutes longer.
Notes: The rack of ribs should be cut lengthwise across the bones. Have the butcher do this with his meat saw.
